Rethinking Psychosis: Nursing’s Role in Challenging Psychiatry’s Biological Paradigm

My 1st nurse in the psychiatric ER , leaned down and whispered

” honey you don’t belong here ” , which I knew in my heart but

I had to follow through . Later , I looked up to see a woman with her

arms and hands focused on choking me to death ; I screamed

and she was removed to solitary in a straight jacket..

nightmare stuff to a 37 year old Mom and wife of a highly distorted

man , never a partner , who needed me at home to watch his sons

age 11, 6, and 6 ..

Xanax , more addictive that the worst street drug , was determined to

be suspected Bipolar , disregarding my trauma , my abuse ( I’d been hit )

and altered my life forever more , removing me from sons , acknowledging

the dark heart and soul of X , but determined to make it work .

I had no one to work it out with …shadow swallowed him up long

ago.. he wanted company , he’s got ” his sons / grandchildren ” to

believe him ..

Nursing scholars explore the crisis in psychiatry’s approach to psychosis and highlights the potential for mental health nurses to drive scientific revolution.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
