i’m all about the Antipsychiatry let me be clear. psychiatry is a fuck and i do not trust therapists etc. the overwhelming influence of the model where psychiatry assumes you have Disorders that just need to be medicated away is a fuck. but the particular strain of antipsychiatry people who are like “Actually, if you have severe anxiety [or x other issue but this one example i just saw is really the kicker lmao] that’s only ever because !Secretly! in your Deep Unconscious Memory or Perception, Something such as Trauma or Your Current Situation is The True Secret Source of Your Suffering, because your brain will not allow you to suffer anxiety if not as a message that you are Traumatized. you must Find Out What The Trauma Is, You Know, The Trauma You Obviously Had/Are Having since the only way you could should exist is because this sinful imperfect world is doing unnatural things to you (and your brain is perfect, allknowing, omnipotent, non-corporeal, uninjurable and uncontestable, and, unlike every other body part, can never do things for weird glitchy human-organ reasons, it is only only ever a perfect angelic messager and its only allowable message is Trauma), and you should never make the executive decision to modify your brain for a reason like actually you personally want to live a different sort of life where you do things you want to do instead of being at the absolute mercy of the whims of your brain, even if you know you DO have trauma but can’t/have no desire to find a way to escape to a pure world of utopia and spend 300 years ‘processing’ it, because modifying this is Disobeying God’s Will the brain’s perfect wisdom of the One Single Acceptable Answer and Solution” is. hmmm. not actually any less gaslighting or paternalistic or dogmatic than psychiatry. you know.

#brain glitching #i could draw comparisons to gaslighting of ace people or systems of whatever about You Have Trauma Because Only Trauma Can Cause You #but also like. so what if it did.#like. yeah. sometimes your anxiety is happening because trauma (past or current) is continually generating it and there's no way to resolve #without facing your trauma and understanding it and resolving it by learning what it did to you in the past or is doing to you now #but sometimes because your brain is electrified meat whose form has been patched from 'whatever lived' over millions yrs by natural selectio #its code is glitchy and vulnerable to damage INCLUDING but NOT RESTRICTED TO things like trauma or stress or suffering #the resolving of which is sometimes either completely irrelevant. necessary but insufficient. or both unnecessary and insufficient.#for achieving your desires and decisions Before you die #and these do in fact exist and are still real even in suboptimal states and situations. not just in the Solved Bug-free State where only #now are your actions and decisions Pure #which no one is ever going to achieve before you die #coal sings
