Recovery language in substance abuse
New research published in Critical Social Work reveals that dominant understandings of recovery, such as maintaining abstinence, can be experienced by service users as oppressive.
The critical discourse analysis of qualitative interviews with individuals struggling with substance use issues in rural Ontario examined power dynamics inherent to discourse on substance addiction recovery. The author concludes by offering recommendations such as training and education to address stigma and implicit biases among clinicians and the inclusion of individuals experiencing substance abuse issues in research, policy development, clinical practice, and education.
Researcher Sandra R. McNeil of the University of Windsor writes:
“By shaping who should recover, how they should recover, and what recovery should look like, recovery discourse constitutes categories of inclusion and exclusion. Viewing substance use recovery through a critical lens exposes ideological values that perpetuate substance use stigma at micro and macro levels. Equally important are the numerous, intersecting forms of stigma related to race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, appearance, geography, and types of substance use that are capable of (de)constructing structural inequities.”
2000 or so My distorted body on Psychiatric RX , blank eyes
A marriage , a grandson , were weaponized to block me after I failed to be able to help with childcare ; I was DOA .
It’s very sad to know and accept that our sons would prefer my death and that hasn’t changed in 20 years .
It’s easier
Her Nightmare experience with psychiatry is sadly common .
As was mine and far too many people
I am new here. 3 years ago I was committed to a psychiatric hospital against my will and forced to take Risperdal and abused by a psychiatrist.
I had a physical illness which I now know is mold toxicity and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). It’s not well known in the medical community but I was able to google my symptoms early in the illness and come up with MCAS. Not sure why they couldn’t do that.
I was diagnosed as delusional, extremely mentally ill, with psychosis due to psychotic delusions all because they were too lazy to research my symptoms. I was treated like garbage and called a liar.
I couldn’t eat because of pain and bad reactions to food and got down to 77 lbs and told the psychiatrist I needed to go to the medical hospital and get a feeding tube cuz I was starving to death and she demanded “You’re not going anywhere. You just need to get up, walk down the hall, get your food and eat it.” I was in pain with several debilitating symptoms, could barely walk, had double vision and had just laid in the bed there for 10 days. My friend had to call my doctor to get me out of there.
There’s more but it’s too long. It was a nightmare. And now it’s on my FBI background check that I was involuntarily admitted to a psych hospital. I’m doing everything I can to get justice but it’s not easy. Both hospitals and the medical board won’t do anything but I have several other places to report it to.
I am livid and believe I have PTSD because of what they did to me. They should be in jail!
Defining Recovery ; Mad in America
Many options to choose from
Silence
As a target of weaponized silence I am aware when anyone uses this against me .
As such I’m aware of the distortion within the heart mind and soul of such an individual whose actions do not keep pace with their words . Or these words are omitted thus a feeling of correctness for not having truth within and challenged resort to covert acts .
Crying
The advice from Dr Spock was to let baby cry up to 15 minutes . I tried this not knowing these horrific results .
There have been many advisors promoting detached parenting which is NOT what babies or children need not deserve .
Single Married Mama who had to be in the glow with a partner who had no idea or interest in parenting . Comfortable with brotherhood or uncle status that did not teach our sons well .
I regret not stopping everything to hold my baby , co sleep and had better intuitive skills that would have not allowed our sons to be alone with certain energies who masked many secrets
Crying it out: the foundation for NPD and BPD
(Borderline Personality Disorder
and Narcissistic Personality Disorder)
“One of the ways children have to adjust to a new order is called ‘letting them cry themselves out’.
The Mother puts the child into the crib at night to sleep. It is bedtime. But the sense of aloneness and the loss of contact with the mothers body terrifies the child, who begins to scream and cry.
No animal mother would fail to respond to a baby’s cry. Some human mothers believe, however that to respond would be wrong.
To give in to a child’s crying will spoil the child.
Besides, they have been told, crying is good for a child…
The first time this happens the child might cry for hours before falling asleep.
The mother might think the child has learned a lesson, but, the child doesn’t have the energy for a repeat performance…
After several experiences of this kind, the child learns to give up the struggle for contact with the mother. In effect, the child has cut off the longing for his contact and so no longer feels the pain of frustration.
A new reality in which the desire for intimacy and closeness is not expressed, has been accepted.
The foundations for narcissism and the borderline personality have been laid.”
