So I really feel mad on some different levels right now than how my day went initially. Mad for biting my tongue at work sometimes namely because I know what I am talking about when it comes to psychosis or trauma or depression. I get that respect that I know what I am talking about from the majority of the people I work with... I really wanted to say this today to a person arguing with me about safety planning in regards to psychosis: Tramatic events, by definition, overwhelm our ability to cope. When the mind becomes flooded with emotion, a circuit breaker is thrown that allows us to survive the experience fairly intact. Some people survive through psychosis. That is, a random and ungovernable meandering of the mind ferociously clinging to remnants of the emotions one recognizes, those that dont fall over each other and get clouded by the others. Indecipherable. They are nonetheless real and painful. They are nonetheless still needing support in coping however best can be expected. When one seeks to isolate and is psychotic, we must not let the person achieve these ends because of how many emotions are tumbling on top of each other. We must be there for that person, especially when they have reached out to us. It is of no matter that yes, if they had been depressed and suicidal wed keep them from self isolating, but if they are psychotic we should have a heart in these instances as well. No, they wont get re-triggered! I could and should teach a workshop about triggers.... Anyway I didnt say this but I wanted to
