👉 Four years on from unprecedented infringements on civil liberties & relentless state propaganda where epistemic trust was forced upon a population through a climate of fear. 👉 Discerning truth from untruth however arises when anxieties are low, internal (unconscious) conflicts are understood, feelings put to one side and where those subjects who may offer material are situated within a contextually and emotionally benign position, such that truth can be safely obtained from a position of “not knowing.”

👆The role of the carer, family or even community, is to digest & reflect the needs, vulnerabilities & fears of the infant. As one might understand ‘balance’ in learning to walk, learning to cope requires particular conditions; encouragement & attention of loving participants

Society’s understanding of mental health issues locates the problem inside the person - and ignores the politics of their distress, says psychologist Sanah Ahsan

👉🏻 Within the pages of David M Black’s book, ‘Why Things Matter’, sits the notion that those working with traumatic or even subtly ruptured experiences, perhaps of childhood, know how bitterness can become a life long torture.

In this regard the contention that humans are simply the sum of genetics or neuroscience falls flat, in that these constructs fail to “take into account the peculiar predicament of a creature that carries detailed memories of the past, and thus anticipation of the future” including it’s own passing and that of others.

John Steiner (2011) describes how proximity is not just a physical construct. To be touched, permits an emotional response. To be seen is safer, as is to gaze. To be heard is stabilising and to be understood is to be held.

J.Peterson describes the current worldwide political paradigm as one of the political class desensitising the public through a series of abusive nudges. We do nudge back however, but never as far as we’ve been pushed. Those who don’t see it, will ultimately suffer the most.

If I told you two years ago that The State would be forcing not only coercive tactics upon its citizenry but now mandatory vaccinations, you would have not believed me! 👉🏻 Abusive relationships always deteriorate & it is only when the victim says NO, does it begin to end.

👉🏻 Betty Joseph suggests transference as a total situation, in that what might feel immediate may not be the whole story. And so pre depressive position, countertransference experience describes what is actually being said, on a deeper level.

👉🏻 The self system shapes the child to fit into the environmental niche provided by caregivers. Characteristics of the child become crafted to meet the emotional needs of the parents. The outline of the child’s personality is sharply etched by the acid of the parents’ anxieties

👉🏻 Analytic work strives to move beyond that which is present, often feared. Beyond the immediacy of fight/flight. Beyond this moment. To find expression of feeling. To symbolise in words what is being felt, to think clearly, to understand. From here, 2nd order thought can take place.

👉🏻 The dynamic self 👉🏻 “It just came over me.. I felt so cross with myself” 👉🏻 The ‘IT’ being what lies beneath, ‘I’ being that which permits me to think and ‘MYSELF’ as being who I may love or hate or fear. All this chatter, with no mention of anyone else.
