Hello Jane. I would first like to say how happy I am for you on your recovery and success. An amazing journey to read about. I was wondering, are you going to put up videos on how you meditated or should I just look into Tao. I read that this practice really hit home for you. Thank you very much and I hope you are having a great day.
@TopShelfRippin Hi TopShelf! Thank you for the kind words, and for reading my story. At some point, I will put up some videos on how I practice meditation. But I can not promise that they will be coming soon. I have a lot of things on my plate, atm. I would encourage you to look into Taoist meditation, mindfulness and vipassana. Take care!
Dear Jane ............... you are a blessing and an inspiration .............. I am so happy for you .... I am currently in the Forensic Mental Health System ... takes more of a hold than the criminal justice .... I had brought up to my psychiatrist I was interested in exploring alternative methods for my illness and was accused of trolling anti psychiatry cites and my file was flagged with comments of concern that I am in denial - sound familiar?
Yes, your Pdoc is hardly unique in invalidating you and your concerns. In my experience, people without mental illness who are in a position of authority or power over those with mental illness can and often do look down on you for being a patient and in need of services. They are in a position to judge and they do. Blithely unaware, apparently, that in so doing, they put themselves in an adversarial relationship with their client-patients. I hope things improve for you.
