“I am attached to her“
Is not the same as
“I love her”

Q: why does my psychiatrist refer to my behavior and my coping mechanisms as maladaptive?

A: When your psychiatrist describes your coping mechanisms as maladaptive, they likely mean that the strategies you've developed to manage stress or trauma are ultimately causing more harm than good. Let's consider a scenario where you experienced abuse from your parents. Since expressing anger towards them might have led to beatings, further conflict or repercussions, your nervous system may have found alternative ways to cope. For instance, you might have completely suppressed your anger, which could later manifest as anxiety or depression. Similarly, if you experienced sexual abuse, you might have developed a dissociative response, essentially 'going off-line' or disconnecting from your surroundings as a means of survival. This response is akin to the freeze response observed in animals when they face inescapable threats. These coping mechanisms, though seemingly counterproductive, were adaptive in the context of the traumatic experience, allowing you to tolerate the abuse. Addiction to alcohol or drugs is very adaptive for a nervous system that was traumatized and taught to suppress emotions. But obviously, addiction is not going to be healthy for you in the long-term. In the long term, some coping mechanisms, such as addiction or emotional suppression may not be beneficial to your mental health. Your psychiatrist might be suggesting that while these mechanisms were once necessary for survival, it's essential to explore more constructive coping strategies to manage your emotions and reactions effectively. So, these coping mechanisms, although they make sense can be exchanged for something healthier, better thought out and more relevant as an adult.

Q: How does my attachment style affect my relationships?

A: Your attachment style significantly impacts your relationships. If you were raised by caregivers who neglected or abused you, as is the case with many individuals, you may experience difficulties in forming healthy attachments. This could manifest as attaching too quickly or avoiding attachment altogether. Trust issues may arise, leading to self sacrificing behaviors or people-pleasing in order to avoid rejection. You may prioritize others' comfort over your own stability, security, and safety, and experience anxiety regarding rejection. Additionally, you may compromise your own needs and boundaries due to being groomed to accept dysfunction in your past experiences. However, it is possible to learn healthier attachment patterns with self reflection and support. Pray to God about learning healthier attachment patterns.

“Turn the other cheek”
Does not mean stay in an abusive relationship

Are you trying to understand me or are you trying to blame me?

“Just west of Boston, the state’s MCI–Framingham facility houses at least 11 trans-identified men, including serial rapists, wife-murderers, and child molesters, whose presence imposes degrading and dangerous conditions on female inmates.

Inmates are not the only ones affected. Female correctional officers are required to strip-search male offenders who request female staff—an accommodation granted to all men housed at the facility, according to internal Massachusetts Department of Correction (MADOC) documents.

MADOC has denied exemption requests from officers who have been victimized by sexual assault and with histories of documented PTSD, forcing them to comply or risk their jobs.”
