This is wonderful and substantiates all my experience and research !!
“What if mental disorders like anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder aren’t mental disorders at all? In a compelling new paper, biological anthropologists call on the scientific community to rethink mental illness. With a thorough review of the evidence, they show good reasons to think of depression or PTSD as responses to adversity rather than chemical imbalances.”
The quote above was pulled directly from a 2020 Forbes article about Mental Health (which outlines an awesome academic article from the American Journal of Physical Anthropology).
Now, I’ve been saying that stuff for years, but it’s really nice to see this information becoming more widespread.
It breaks my heart to see how many people still let the label of a ‘disorder’ convince them that they’re stuck with their problem and doomed to suffer with it their whole lives, stuffing their pain away with medication and trying to ‘logic away’ their issues by hunting down all of their core trauma with a therapist.
I know… I know… Everybody is clinging onto this physiological explanation and thinks that the only way to deal with these problems is with medication and psychoanalysis.
But the students I work with go from spending all of their energy just trying to keep from breaking down on a daily basis, to shedding the shackles of their diagnosed ‘disorders’, and living a life of true self-expression and self-love, free from anxiety, guilt, shame, stress, over-thinking, and more…
Yes. It’s true that traditional talk therapy and medication MIGHT help us manage our symptoms and allow us to survive our day to day lives better, but they rarely manage to get us fully out of our cycles and into the full version of ourselves that we’re capable of being when we truly master our emotions and learn to release the unresolved trauma and fear that we carry around with us
Meanwhile, the people I’ve worked with have been learning and developing the emotional muscles and skills necessary to enjoy their lives more fully, while turning every moment of emotional distress into a moment of healing that actually makes them stronger, happier, and more free from all of the weight of their past trauma. And they do this WITHOUT needing to focus on that past pain and trauma directly.
Not just that, they are ridding themselves of toxic relationships and self-harming defense mechanisms that have been keeping them stuck in EVERY area of their lives!
