Disability benefits shouldn’t be tied to the income of a disabled person’s partner/spouse/parent.
Do you hear me?
DISABILITY BENEFITS SHOULDN’T BE TIED TO THE INCOME OF A DISABLED PERSON’S PARTNER/SPOUSE/PARENT.
This is the straight forward way to deprive a disabled person of their financial freedom and independence and trap them into possible abusive relationships.
imagine dating someone and it actually works out, you move in together, have your setups next to each others, play games and be together for the rest of your lives
Think systems with a high number of fictional introjects are a new phenomena? Kluft's paper on polyfragmented/extremely complex DID from 1988 includes a patient with LOTR introjects, and another based off of Shakespear's Tempest. Fictional introjects have been a thing for a very long time!
First take at plotting out the system (arrows are where people integrated or influenced another, without getting into weeds of internal relationships to each other or external influences), and I cannot wait to make this look nicer. (still missing a few connections, but it's already a mess)
Might do a post/chart about varying alters that formed throughout our lifetime that we can piece together. Partially to have as a reference point, mostly out of our own curiosity to think about how our brain tried to adapt to things that happened.
Might include some details for why we think splits happened and why integration between specific parts occured, but we'll figure out how much we're comfortable sharing when it comes down to it.
Selfcare routines in your healing stage hit different. It's just you and your journal, your skincare and self development books, your soft music and the safety of your home. No drama, just peace. And for once in your life, the silence won't sound empty, restless, anxious, as if there's something wrong with it. The silence will sound like peace, because you will have known the war that comes before healing.
