Interconnectedness is not the same as dependence.
Mental health treatment is not about becoming dependent on a healthcare professional. Mental health treatment is gaining skills and developing resilience and learning tools to manage in life. These tools may include medications and therapy. These tools may need to be changed over time.
Medications
Psychotropic medications for symptom management.
Supportive Counseling
Primarily using techniques from DBT, CBT, SFBT, mindfulness based therapies, and other mind-body techniques.
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF HURTING YOURSELF OR OTHERS, CALL 9-1-1 OR GO TO YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.
Right now. Right here.
The present is like a ball of clay. I can grasp it and shape it which will lead me to the next moment and into my future. Or, I can ignore it and it will pass me by.
“Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they’re yours.” There was a lot I didn’t understand about messiahs.
