Episode 171: Diagnoses Reveal Insecure Thoughts

We have talked before about the potential harm from taking diagnoses seriously.  Diagnoses are a snapshot in time, not the portrait of who you are deep-down.  The manual of Diagnoses the mental health professionals use is a huge catalogue naming observed behaviors of people who appear to be "mentally ill."  From our perspective, they are descriptions of the individual creativity we express via our power to think, representing our most insecure thinking in low states of mind.  It is never helpful to explore the details or the content of the thinking.  When we recognize insecure feelings and understand that they pass when we quiet down and leave our thinking alone, our thinking naturally comes into balance and we no longer exhibit "diagnoses."Support the show
