#somaticizing

[varsex-pride]

please learn how to descry distinct concepts, even if they partially or conditionally intersect or overlap a lot, they can be still separated or distinguished often. like, being immanently/immaterially or wanting to be a physical apple isnt the same as experiencing transsexed physical traits, or somaticizing bodily signs due to disordered plurality or non-system dissociation. nor is experiencing an alternative sex trait in your fursona or theriotype compatible as experiencing intersex variation(s). but, after all, even if all these experiences can be encompassed by trans* umbrellas, you have the autonomy to reject transitudes (such as transgenderness, trans*ness, transsexness, transidentity, or transvesticity) as you want.

Theses on Monsters, China Mieville

1.

The history of all hitherto-existing societies is the history of monsters. Homo sapiens is a bringer-forth of monsters as reason’s dream. They are not pathologies but symptoms, diagnoses, glories, games, and terrors.

2.

To insist that an element of the impossible and fantastic is a sine qua non of monstrousness is not mere nerd hankering (though it is that too). Monsters must be creature forms and corpuscles of the unknowable, the bad numinous. A monster is somaticized sublime, delegate from a baleful pleroma. The telos of monstrous quiddity is godhead.

3.

There is a countervailing tendency in the monstrous corpus. It is evident in Pokémon’s injunction to “catch ’em all,” in the Monster Manual’s exhaustive taxonomies, in Hollywood’s fetishized “Monster Shot.” A thing so evasive of categories provokes—and surrenders to—ravenous desire for specificity, for an itemization of its impossible body, for a genealogy, for an illustration. The telos of monstrous quiddity is specimen.

4.

Ghosts are not monsters.

5.

It is pointed out, regularly and endlessly, that the word “monster” shares roots with “monstrum,” “monstrare,” “monere“—”that which teaches,” “to show,” “to warn.” This is true but no longer of any help at all, if it ever was.

6.

Epochs throw up the monsters they need. History can be written of monsters, and in them. We experience the conjunctions of certain werewolves and crisis-gnawed feudalism, of Cthulhu and rupturing modernity, of Frankenstein’s and Moreau’s made things and a variably troubled Enlightenment, of vampires and tediously everything, of zombies and mummies and aliens and golems/robots/clockwork constructs and their own anxieties. We pass also through the endless shifts of such monstrous germs and antigens into new wounds. All our moments are monstrous moments.

7.

Monsters demand decoding, but to be worthy of their own monstrosity, they avoid final capitulation to that demand. Monsters mean something, and/but they mean everything, and/but they are themselves and irreducible. They are too concretely fanged, toothed, scaled, fire-breathing, on the one hand, and too doorlike, polysemic, fecund, rebuking of closure, on the other, merely to signify, let alone to signify one thing.

Any bugbear that can be completely parsed was never a monster, but some rubber-mask-wearing Scooby-Doo villain, a semiotic banality in fatuous disguise. It is a solution without a problem.

8.

Our sympathy for the monster is notorious. We weep for King Kong and the Creature from the Black Lagoon, no matter what they’ve done. We root for Lucifer and ache for Grendel.

It is a trace of skepticism that the given order is a desideratum that lies behind our tears for its antagonists, our troubled empathy with the invader of Hrothgar’s hall.

9.

Such sympathy for the monster is a known factor, a small problem, a minor complication for those who, in drab reaction, deploy an accusation of monstrousness against designated social enemies.

10.

When those same powers who enmonster their scapegoats reach a tipping point, a critical mass, of political ire, they abruptly and with bullying swagger enmonster themselves. The shock troops of reaction embrace their own supposed monstrousness. (From this investment emerged, for example, the Nazi Werwolf program.) Such are by far more dreadful than any monster because, their own aggrandizements notwithstanding, they are not monsters. They are more banal and more evil.

11.

The saw that We Have Seen the Real Monsters and They Are Us is neither revelation, nor clever, nor interesting, nor true. It is a betrayal of the monstrous, and of humanity.

[dead--star]

i want him to feel genuine fear and i want him to suffer, i want him to be peeled from reality and into the abyss and know nothing for long enough to believe death is to be eternal torment where fragile sanity unravels in silence beyond silence while time, a cruel jester, stretches into an eternity of agonised mental disentigration. the somaticism of his own flesh will be a phantom limb, a distant, mocking ache.

only for him to be thrown back into a searing and incandescent baptism that leaves him all the more agonizingly, vividly alive (affectionate)

1.What are the psychological effects of trolling and hate crimes on victims?

The psychological impacts of trolling and hate crimes among victims can be grave and multifarious. Generally, victims undergo emotional turmoil-which may lead to anxiety, depression, anger, and in turn, social isolation and loss of self-esteem. Some may even exhibit signs of PTSD, like intrusive thoughts and hypervigilance that interfere with daily living. Stress may also be somaticized into health problems, such as sleep disturbances. Other after-effects include difficulties in trusting others and isolation from society, which may result in long-term consequences of poor mental health, with the need for counseling and treatment.

2. What does anonymity contribute to the phenomenon of trolling? This anonymity allows perpetrators to act without fear of judgement or repercussions, thus sometimes emboldening bad behavior. Inasmuch as it may protect the user's privacy and freedom of expression, anonymity lowers the barriers to such harmful behavior as trolling.

The anonymity that the internet grants can often lead to acting in ways that would not be pursued in life, often dislocated from the real-life negative consequences of one's actions and from any empathy toward victims. This creates a vicious circle wherein hate speech and trolling are normalized. This calls for a certain balancing on the part of platforms between user anonymity and measures for accountability.

3. How can both individuals and communities contribute to supporting victims in the context of trolling and hate crimes in digital spaces?

This might include offering a platform where sharing can safely occur, facilitating support for mental health, and working to change policy so that more extreme measures can be taken in such cases of online abuse. Communities can organize reporting and collectively counteract hate speech as a means of showing solidarity, making individuals who are victimized feel less alone. Encouraging bystander intervention provides venues where people can take individual, active actions on behalf of others who are targeted.

4. How does the understanding of trolling help in the prevention of hate crimes in digital spaces?

While the term itself, troll, carries negativity and can be pestering, there are benefits to trolling. Trolls build capabilities for adaptiveness and coping when situations seem stressing. In these cases, for individuals who do find themselves constantly subject to trolling on the web, it helps them handle stressful life situations. Moreover, trolling can create humorous posts or stories to share on social networks. However, such benefits cannot compensate for the harm that trolling brings to individuals and the community. Knowledge of the nature of trolling would avail strategies that can help avoid hate crimes by recognizing patterns and motives for such behavior. That is, by tackling triggers for trolling, such as a need to feel powerful or in control, and by crafting spaces that naturally bring out empathy and responsibility, communities might reduce the risk of hate crime. Educational programs that raise awareness among users regarding the repercussions of their online actions can be quite effective as well.

[plural-culture-is]

Questioning plural culture is wondering whether the dissociation/weird detached feelings you've been experiencing lately are because you've been reading/seeing a lot about dissociation and your body has begun to somaticize it, reading about it has allowed you to recognize it in yourself, or your alters are trying to send you a message so you stop questioning their existence.

¶ … treatment plan: Using assessment results wisely Organizing the results of the various psychological assessments performed upon a client must be done in a systematic fashion when constructing a treatment plan. However, while the process may be systematic, the outcome will be highly individualized. What type treatment plan, by whom, for whom, for what specific problem, under what specific circumstances -- are all essential questions to answer (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.597). For example, different treatment decisions might be made regarding patients with the same complaint, depending on each patient's level of social support at home: one patient may be able to be treated in an outpatient environment, while another might require constant supervision. Personality assessment should also play a role in designing treatment. While cognitive-behavioral therapy may be useful in aiding patients that use externalized methods of coping with negative stressors, other patients that tend to internalize negative beliefs may benefit more from conventional talk strategies (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.596). An assessment plan must be created in dialogue with the patient: to ignore patient preferences results in an ineffective course of therapy, as well as raises questions of ethics. Specificity of diagnosis, particularly in an era of managed care, where patient time and money is finite can be very helpful. For example, therapies designed to reduce panic disorders and anxiety have often proven even more effective than drug treatment, if the patient's symptoms are addressed in a specific and targeted fashion. Clinicians should have a good overview of the research literature to determine, based upon their patient's demographics, what balance of drug and therapeutic treatment is likely to be beneficial. For patients with somaticization complaints, or real medical difficulties, these issues may need to be incorporated into the treatment plan and a physician may need to be consulted. Level of functioning is also consideration. A high level of impaired functioning can obviously limit the individual's ability to participate in the treatment, and may indicate a more restrictive treatment program is necessary. A patient requiring pharmacological intervention to be functional (such as with schizophrenia) may need more direction in balancing the degree to which his or her therapy will be or may not be supplemented with drugs. A patient with an anxiety disorder might be able to have more input. Intensity of the patient's illness, long-term prognosis, balance between medical and somatic symptoms, and realistic goal-setting will influence the patient's ability to function and his or her treatment (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.604). Duration of the treatment course is another factor to consider: Long vs. short-range treatment duration is determined by the intensity of the disorder; its specificity; the age and level of social support of the patient; and the patient's level of 'premorbid' functioning. A phobic anxiety disorder requiring short-term treatment vs. A chronic bipolar disorder provides a contrast in the two different approaches: one is ideal for symptom-focused cognitive behavioral therapy while the other requires more generalized physical and medical treatment. For some disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, no treatment at the time may be indicated, until the patient is willing to use the therapy correctly, and not merely as a way to further his or her disorder (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.605). Situation-specific 'habits' as opposed to those stemming from deeper emotional or personality disorders thus affect treatment plans as well. Finally, the therapist must consider the need to address the patient in a socially specific manner -- a concern called 'high problem complexity.' Patients may benefit from family or couples therapy, when their problem is related to a web of non-functioning social relationships. Some patients with low social support, high rates of introversion, and deeper psychoanalytic issues that resist conventional diagnostic characterization might be helped by non-directive dream therapy or free associative therapy -- these patients might be called 'high internalizers' that require more personalized types of therapy (Groth-Marnat, 2009, p.609). High or low levels of resistance to treatment should also be taken into consideration when creating a program -- particularly given the need to select a therapist whose approach can deal with a highly-resistant client. The patient must be ready to change, and some patients require higher levels of subjective distress before they are willing to do so. Finally, the personality of the therapist should also be taken into consideration, as every theory and design affected by the therapist, as well as the recipient of therapy.

If you want to learn dance, just do it.

There is choreography, of course

gesture and coordination

mind-body connection.

It's one of the reasons it only can and should be developed in conjunction with other exercises: Namely core and limb conditioning and at least mild weightlifting.

And a regimen of ego death.

Oh, yes, there is the philosophic. You cannot afford self-consciousness; instead there only can be awareness of the body in space.

You must scrutinize every quirk of fingers and tilt of eyes and set of shoulders and hips and the stretch of moment that links pull and destination

(dance is not a push somaticism, do not ever push, you will and must learn this)

It's worth it for anyone and especially any woman

and surely no more than trans women who have been divorced from the living flesh by dysphoria and gender's artificiality.

Nothing is more feminine than what dance teaches of comfort and honesty given vector and purpose and nothing communicates that femininity with more richness than the total union of flesh and spirit.

Is it embarrassing?

Sure. To start. But who cares? If you're alone, who gives a damn?

If you writhe and bump and grind in a club churn of a thousand bodies, who gives a damn?

It's not your job. Your lousy heels choreo will not see you homeless and starving.

You can become as great as will and physicality permit and really if you feel rhythm at all you're past 95% of people I've met.

I never could dance when I male-presented. I had no rhythm except what I could plot in coherent intellect.

Now my body is become metronome and a woman who's been dancing for twenty years has told me I've progressed faster than anyone she's tried to teach.

Saturday she took me dancing.

It was a valedictory. More than four hours of sweat and heartbeat and spontaneity

with her

without her

under others' eyes and with mine closed and floating in the dark.

She and I became a nuclear center, proton bond, hips and backs and chests and eyes and sweat. There really was no one else like us; no one else willing and able to push themselves to that closeness

no one else willing to kiss wet hair nails and spit on the dance floor and lace fingers and break without pageant and slide together again

in reference to one another

utterly apart from one another.

I Get It at last. Do I exercise? Yes. I have an Instagirl body from massive effort. Do I practice dance? Often. But I am no professional and sometimes I'll go weeks without more than just some idle gyration. It comes by epochal snap of epiphany

revelation even.

It's glorious when at last the hips and shoulders obey.

I think

believe really

that an inability to dance should be considered prima facie evidence of dysphoria- not gender but of some species.

[etherfabric]

Me when I finally sucessfully prioritized safety and comfort for several days in a row, just so my body can start processing yet another agonizing somaticized emotion.

(I know the only way out is through but uggghhhhhhhh)

Ce este eugenia?

Termenul eugenie, ca practică și domeniu de studiu, a fost inventat către Francis Galton în 1883, bazându-se pe opera vărului său, Charles Darwin, genetica mendeliană și teoriile lui August Weismann (teoria plasmei germenilor, conform căreia informația ereditară este transmisă numai de celulele germinale din gonade (ovare și testicule), nu de celule somatice) .

El doctor Christian Boukaram, oncólogo y especialista en física nuclear, en su libro El Poder Anticáncer de las Emociones, habla sobre el paradigma determinista que había mantenido la ciencia y la medicina sobre el papel del ADN en las enfermedades en general, y especialmente el cáncer. El doctor Boukaram gracias a sus estudios con miles de pacientes con cáncer en Montreal ha demostrado que la genética sólo tiene un papel menor en el desarrollo del cáncer, siendo el entorno en factor causal más importante. Citamos un párrafo de su libro: “Un estudio publicado en la revista The New England Journal of Medicine demostró que los antecedentes de cáncer de los padres biológicos en niños que han sido adoptados no tienen ninguna influencia en el riesgo de que estos niños desarrollen cáncer. Por el contrario, el riesgo de cáncer se multiplica por cinco entre niños adoptados cuando los padres adoptivos han padecido de cáncer. Esto es algo muy sorprendente, ya que los padres adoptivos no han concebido a esos niños y no les han transmitido sus genes. Sólo pueden compartir con ellos su entorno y legarles su estilo de vida”. El doctor Boukaram propone acabar con los dogmas deterministas de la ciencia y explica: “El ADN no es más que el disco duro donde se almacena la información de nuestras vidas, pero esa información procede de nuestra interacción con el entorno y a su vez de la interacción de nuestros ancestros con su entorno. Esto lo estudia la epigenética conductual, cómo heredamos patrones, creencias y cargas emocionales de nuestros ancestros que luego pueden desencadenar en enfermedades. Por lo tanto lo que se hereda no es la enfermedad sino los programas de los ancestros, que luego puede resultar en la misma enfermedad que padecieron”. Todos podemos ejercer un control sobre nuestro ADN e influir en los datos inscritos en el mismo, pues es como nuestro “disco duro” de información. Además de poder modificar nuestro ADN mediante nuestro comportamiento, también podemos transmitir esos cambios a nuestros descendientes. En nuestra certificación en Coaching NeuroBiológico  explicaremos de forma muy gráfica cómo se modifica el ADN de nuestras células cambiando nuestra percepción, nuestras creencias, nuestras emociones y nuestra forma de relacionarnos con nosotros mismos y con el entorno. Por otro lado y gracias a los descubrimientos del Dr. Hamer sobre la enfermedad en los niños, sabemos que es una manifestación de los conflictos emocionales de mamá. Como vemos a lo largo de nuestro diplomado, nuestra biología es sabia y está diseñada para garantizar la continuidad de la especie. Es por esta razón que los conflictos emocionales de mamá los somatizan los niños. Recordemos que nuestro inconsciente biológico funciona como cuando como especie éramos cazadores recolectores. Por lo tanto, en aquella época donde no había toda la tecnología y tratamientos médicos que tenemos ahora, si enfermaba mamá y moría también morían las crías y esto ponía en peligro la supervivencia de la especie. De allí que la biología en su sabiduría evoluciona para que los conflictos emocionales de mamá los somatice el niño, pues si el niño muere, mamá siempre puede hacer más hijos. Esto es biología pura y cruda. La naturaleza no juzga, así es como funciona con el resto de los mamíferos.
