In reply to has the atmosphere swung from idealization..., posted by alexandra_k on October 12, 2004, at 20:50:08
idealization and devaluation are two sides of the same coin. it is better to accept that meds, coping methods, etc. are palliatives that do not substitute for a normal CNS. But I walked out of my last T session telling her that I would be satisfied with nothing less than what I want, which is to be a functional human being.
But nothing, nothing substitutes for a normal CNS, when it comes to meeting society's definitions of "functional." I like to think I have my own ideas, but clearly there is a conflict here.
