#Pathologization

Comment “PODCAST” and I’ll DM you the full episode. In this discussion with Professor Nick Haslam he shares how we are witnessing a pathologization of ordinary life which is paradoxically caused by the normalization of mental health and the de-stigmatization of mental ill health.

I can no longer stand to listen to the constant roar of pathologization – the looking at our difficulties and symptoms as only things to relieve. And then they are no longer sacred and holy. And then they are no longer worthy of unfolding like seeds of our souls. Soon I’ll be announcing a trauma program for coaches and therapists where I’ll be taking my 30 years of experience working with individuals and training therapists and bringing it to you.

You have intuitions and you will most likely follow them bc that’s all we have, these orienting instincts. This is another reason why you don’t lie bc if you lie and you practice lying you pathologize your instincts and then your intuitions lead you wrong. The pathologization of the instincts that orient you.

I often think about issues such as this, especially as an AuDHD therapist myself. I’m fully accepting of self-identification when it comes to folks realizing they are Autistic/ADHDers/AuDHDers because we know our own experience. Yet, this is dismissed by many, and to get accommodations to work more to our strengths in a neurotypical world, we are often forced to obtain a medical diagnosis. Even then, it’s hard to convince others that our experience is valid. Different doesn’t mean wrong…it just means we work differently, which doesn’t fit with a dominant ‘norm.’ We need to stop pathologizing differences. #Repost @emergentdivergence with @use.repost ・・・ If we want to accommodate our disability, we are forced to medicalize ourselves. #TinCanConundrum #ActuallyAutistic #autism #Autistic #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #beingdifferent #differentnotless #adhd #audhd #pathologization #societalnorms #systemicoppression #humanrights #socialjustice #equity #diversityandinclusion #audhdtherapist #neurodivergenttherapist #barrieontario #ontario

The American Psychological Association also has some very informative resources on queerness and the pathologization of queerness. #ama #pridemonth #queerisnotamentalillness

To label or not to label? The answer? Go deeper. It's not necessarily about the label... I've seen it be transformative to people to name their experiences with label, and the opposite is true also. The big thing that I see as being helpful is understanding WHAT pathologization means, because that's different than finding a name for our experiences (because that can be so helpful)! "Definition. Deriving from the Greek pathos – “to suffer” – “pathologization” ultimately refers to the process by which an experience comes to be seen and approached as something that elicits suffering. It can thus broadly be interpreted as turning something into a problem" (Liebert, R. (2014). Pathologization. In: Teo, T. (eds) Encyclopedia of Critical Psychology. Springer, New York, NY.). 👉So in real world terms? Pathologization is when Experience(s) = Problematic Suffering 🤯 This is DIFFERENT than Experience(s) = Pain Read👏that 👏again👏 Experience(s) = Pain 🤯 For example, when I experience depressive symptoms and look at it as "suffering" I'm going to treat myself different than if I look it as "pain". I will very likely shame myself for feeling this way "you're lazy and unmotivated". A popular Buddhist saying says "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional," SO! When I experience pain as a result of an experience(s), I've learned how to sit with it, not push it away, not to pathologize it, but to⤵️ ⚠️EXPERIENCE THE PAIN AS AN EXPRESSION OF HURT from a place of knowing that my body is wise, intelligent, and asking me to notice it.⚠️ ➡️ @bloom.narratives ⬅️ 🌺Therapy and Coaching for Busy Women ........................

What do we mean when we say the words “#transdepathologization” and “trans de-psycho-pathologization”? What historical developments led to medicalization and how have we started down the path to demedicalizing #trans identities? Anil Padavatan, GATE's Health Program Officer, participated in @ilgaworld podcast "Making the Rainbow Waves" and answered these questions. Hear the episode "We are part of humanity": a conversation about the importance of trans depathologization: Link in bio

A little louder for my friends in the back!!! There are enormous connections between neurodiversity, brain chemistry and physiological functioning. It is impossible to separate mind from body and physical from psychological symptoms. Let’s not allow the pathologization and medicalization to further isolate symptoms and reinforce an ableist society. Basically, let’s see the whole being!
