It’s one of the key preconditions for an ideology to work. I cannot evaluate my value in patriarchy, or in white supremacy, until I can see myself through its gaze.

This week, I’m going to talk about how the diagnosis shapes trauma treatment, and why there can be a gap between the way a clinician approaches trauma treatment–what they think is most likely to bring people relief–and what the survivor might hope for, in terms of reckoning with what happened. The naming of PTSD as a disorder, rather than a syndrome, meant that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual III, published in 1980, had to include a list of symptoms that clinicians could...2023-08-2913 minStuff You Missed in History ClassStuff You Missed in History ClassLicoricia of WinchesterLicoricia of Winchester was a Jewish woman who was a major financier in medieval England.

Like many cities, Portland celebrates Pride in June. Pride happens in June to honor the Stonewall uprising of June 28, 1969. But this year, the committee that plans the Pride parade changed the date. We’re having our Pride parade in July. The committee announced it was moving the parade to make room for full celebration and respect for Juneteenth, commemorating June 19th, 1865. The main idea behind this shift is that members of the queer community shouldn’t have to...2023-06-2005 minTherapy for Social Change PodcastTherapy for Social Change PodcastWhat I did on my vacation:After I got home it occurred to me that perhaps I was off base, thinking there was something exceptional about raising the subject of whiteness on San Juan Island. After all, is what I am describing so different from dynamics that might occur in a small rural town that is largely white? Or in an affluent white neighborhood in a city, cordoned off from its working-class neighbors by its price? An island has particular needs for its community to function, so everyone can survive.

The word “liberation” in the model honors and acknowledges the work of liberation theology, out of which grew liberation psychology, a way of thinking about healing that was practiced by Ignacio Martín-Baró, a Spanish-born Jesuit priest who trained in psychology at the University of Chicago. Martín-Baró was concerned that the individualist focus of therapy could encourage people to adjust to the status quo. Psychology’s attention to individual behavior, and the ways behavior is seen as an expression of the individual’s consciousness, keeps both the pro...2023-04-2516 minTherapy for Social Change PodcastTherapy for Social Change PodcastCountering The Psychological Effects of a Blizzard of ViolenceFrom my perspective, perhaps the most effective impact of these events is psychological. After the Dobbs decision came down I wrote about the ways the law is an act of psychological warfare. I see the Kacsmaryk decision as an effort to recontain the political force and energy that has arisen to overturn Dobbs and return rights to pregnant people.

Ozempic is the brand name of semaglutide, one of a series of drugs in the category GLP-1 receptor agonists. The drug, which mimics a hormone, works by suppressing the body’s production of glucagon. Since glucagon cues the body to raise its blood sugar, when it’s suppressed, insulin is better regulated and insulin resistance can be prevented. Ozempic sets off the cascade that signals the brain to tell the body it’s “full.” The drug received approval for people with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity, to...2023-03-2813 minTherapy for Social Change PodcastTherapy for Social Change PodcastIt's ok to be a beginnerI was on Mt.

These normative gender expressions are represented back to us by the dominant culture, which also racializes gender. What the dominant culture represents as “White womanhood” is often quite different than that of “Black womanhood” or “Asian womanhood.” Women whose personality traits or relationships to power are coded as male/masculine in patriarchy can be punished, shamed, or accused of withholding care, empathy, and flexibility in their relationships...2023-02-0708 minTherapy for Social Change PodcastTherapy for Social Change PodcastAren’t You Just a Paid Friend?I have a pretty detailed answer to the question of what makes a therapist different from a good friend, and much of it hinges on my understanding of the concept of transference. I told this client that therapy works in part because it evokes a transference relationship between the therapist and the client. The client “transfers” onto the therapist a set of assumptions about how relationships work. These assumptions are often rooted in dynamics and experiences we’ve had with our primary caregivers, in our first families.

To perceive interdependence is to obliterate the idea of the self and the false sense that it is a being or thing that is separate from experience, and thus can evaluate it, judge it, enjoy it, feel distant from it, etc. Because I was reading his book, and not meditating, and because thinking is easier than meditating, I came up with a thought that I wanted to share with you all.

I think of imagination as an force, buoyant and inexhaustible, surging and sparking. It doesn’t need us, or want anything from us.

They got me thinking about cultural collision and being of two nations, two worlds, two religions, no religion. They gave me an experience of utter alienation and isolation and un-belonging.

I noted that two definitions of these bodies, the “physiological body” and the “somatic body,” are “universal”: that is, physiology and soma are said to operate the same way, in all people. We rely on universality in medicine and mental health to help us identify illness or disorder, which is said to be an aberration from a universal norm.I contrasted these two bodies with the “situated body."

There are at least three definitions of the body driving today’s mental health treatments, and these definitions are creating unofficial silos in the field, parceling out different understandings of embodiment and selfhood.Many of the mainstream approaches to mental health treatment deny the specifics of the situated body and the ways our experience of embodiment, power, and oppression are present in our experiences of anxiety, or trauma, or depression.

You sneak up on the change, like a cat stalking its prey. You tell no one you’re doing it. You waste no time asking others for their advice about your goal. You devote your planning and thinking not to the end result, but rather to the smallest possible action you can take. You make the first step so absurdly small, so trivial, that it’s laughable that you would call that a step towards change.The goals we make...2022-09-2011 minTherapy for Social Change PodcastTherapy for Social Change PodcastExperts say mental health diagnoses can’t help us predict mass shootings:Including an analysis of structural violence can help us to better understand and solve problems as challenging and complex as why it is that mass shooters are almost exclusively male.

Because white people experience their bodies as at times “non-raced,” they can remain unconscious or oblivious of the ways their racialization is always present. How, then, does this dynamic impact the ways whiteness is suppressed in therapy sessions? This is a public episode.

This week, the Court added to the psychological misery by snarling the EPA and alluding to its desire to challenge contraception, same-sex marriage, and other laws. With this juggernaut of rulings, we can see evidence of the right’s continued strategy to immobilize resistance by inducing paralysis and despair.
