Sharing Circle



A Sharing of Psychiatric Experiences in the First Person


(Rather Than Our ‘Interpreters’ and Their Ventriloquist Acts)

 

Using the first person singular to share experiences, to self define, to identify in principle what helps and what does not help. 

 

 

Think of it as an online version of a circle in a support group in which each person gets to share from his or her own point of view. The style is self focused and genuine, using the dreaded  “I” word, something often forbidden or called 'selfish' in the experience of the psychiatrized.

Here we can practice healthy Self-ishness through the development and/or maintenance of self containment along with connection to others. It is what many of us have always needed the most.
 

It is about good boundaries.

 

 

 
 


Tool for Change


Although this is not exactly true for 'us', as the non psychiatrized do not cope with being told they may not speak or they will get 'treatment' if they try it, there are some hints for all in here, relating to what I am talking about with this forum regarding how to get out of the double bind so that it is not a 'choice' between yelling in the town square OR silence. Assertivemess training methods are about boundaries from within which we define, protect and control OURSELVES and get all those helpful 'others' off our backs.
You may be able to get this one or one like it very cheap. I got this one in an old tape set for one dollar as a  library  discard.

Any Answers to This?

With some psychiatrists the answer to that is to ADD a mood elevator to counteract it. Have any of you had this kind of experience?
