Understanding Dissociachotic ways of being as a response to relational and environmental context allows us to see not only the legitimacy in the person in distress, but also our own Dissociachotic being when we try and to change that person. This mutual 'sameness' can help the supporter recognise and resist the urge to 'other' a person who is offering connection through their way of being. Understanding Dissociachotic is a central theme in Just Listening and used around the world - by some who have trained in this approach and by others who intrinsically offer space for human to human connection in the honor and justice of a person sharing their story. Humane responses to psychosis are not about models, professions or systems, they are available in any and each moment and allow the person in distress to share their narrative towards often previously unheard stories from their life. #dissociachotic #humantohuman #humaneclinicau #compassion Psychosis Australia For more on Dissociachotic: https://youtube.com/@humaneclinic?si=1zM3oJcn_eQOu2Y8
Supervision allows the supporter to observe their own Dissociachotic possibilities. If we can understand psychosis as one of many unique human experiences (sometimes in states of distress) and recognise that as a supporter we can be open to our own Dissociachotic possibilities, then the supporter having space to be in a Dissociachotic state to be heard is important. Supervision that avoids the folly of splitting off the personal and professional human ( who is the same being) is really important. This Supervision model was inspired by the wisdom of the questioning by a student Psychotherapist at Humane Clinic who questioned the rather odd ideology of an external supervisor that the therapist should not bring personal content into supervision. #justlistening has shown us over 3 years that separating the human into a professional and personal being is folly. Instead the supporter could be offered the same loving, compassionate Listening as is offered to the person in distress to reiterate the mutuality of any human experience. When we hear out loud in reflection of another loving human, we hear differently our own dilemma - this is true of a person in distress and the supporter. #dissociachotic #justlistening #humanesupervision #love #compassion #mutuality
'How we perceive the expression of the person in altered states influences our own threat response towards them - an equally Dissociachotic expression' Being with a person who is expressing an altered state, and not doing odd things to them, means the supporter needs to recognise the mutuality of another human. This also requires the supporter to recognise their own Dissociachotic possibilities: If the person I am with is not fundamentally different to me and their are 'psychotic', then I too could experience that. Recognising a person in a Dissociachotic state is exposing our own potential to be in the same and brings attention to the the mechanisms that has supported people to 'other' a person in 'psychotic' distress. Diagnosis, risk assessment, incarceration, ECT, restrictions of freedom to chose in community (CTO's) are easy to rely on when we see the 'psychotic' person as fundamentally different and having a biological disease. This idea is discussed in this paper: Bio-genetic vs. psycho-environmental conceptions of schizophrenia and their role in perceiving patients in human terms Giulia Pavon &Jeroen Vaes https://lnkd.in/gAKpURA3 Any supporter confronting their own vulnerabilities may be the most realistic way to be with a person in distress and move away from the current system 'tools' that inevitably leads to the growth of a Dissociachotic state in order for the distressed person to survive as discussed in Dissociachotic: Seeing the Non Psychosis We Share. "Interconnectedness, that occurs through the process of growth within a loving, nongoal–orientated relationship, leads to a negation of the need for an altered state to exist to defend the threat of nihilation in the person experiencing “psychosis,” and the person in a “nonpsychotic” state to resist the attempt to change the legitimate reality the other person is experiencing" Dissociachotic: Seeing the Nonpsychosis We Share Matthew Ball and Sharon Picot https://lnkd.in/g2g6NURE
The dominant ideas of responding to people in psychotic states ( for over 100 years) have been to try and get rid of those states. And the ideology has come from the non psychotic person apparently knowing how to do this and why this would be useful. What if the dominant focus was being in human to human connection only by invitation of the person in distress and that person got to share their unique and important narrative? #dissociachotic #psychotic #love #connection Humane clinic - Psychotherapy, counselling, education & consultancy Mad In America Psychosis Mental Health Commissioner for South Australia Psychosis Schizophrenia AD4E: CPD events that challenge the culture of diagnosis and disorder.

🙃 Being human week (Formerly known as Schizophrenia awareness week) Schizophrenia was originally named around 100 years ago. Since that time we have been through extraordinary change in terms of the moral orthodoxy of societal expectations and judgements. Yet we continue to use and refer to language, in absolute terms, as though we can speak with authority as to the workings of a persons brains to decide on how the person should be fixed and return to societal norms. So much language is used to describe the need and value of human connection in modern times and yet the most simple of connection opportunity – that being community members with one another – is the last intentional response offer when a person is expressing ‘psychosis’. Although the Dissociachotic framework ably describes the value and nature of ‘psychosis’ between one person and another, It appears that the 100 year old ideology of the ‘sick’ person is privileged over a more available and compassionate position of tentative moments of human connection (https://youtu.be/lXR7g8EWV04?si=QtSM_8Z3hLArFes6 ) What if the answers lie in taking time to connect with one another when in distress and not referring people elsewhere. Community members recognising that any one of the people around them could express human distress in any number of actions and behaviours and that love and connection, in a way that does not create further threat is the underpinnings of a person in a distressed state (Dissociachotic https://www.humaneclinic.com.au/dissociachotic )feeling safer and more connected to the point of being able to be in the world more gently. Of course, this causes something of a conundrum to the industry of mental health and the political correct status quo of hanging on to century old ideology at the risk of handing back power to the hearts and minds of community and witnessing the emergence of empowerment of mutuality and what we share as humans, rather than what has been sai

🗣 BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENT RESPONSE: There is plenty of money in the Mental Health industry. We have too many pigs at the trough all doing the same useless things. It's not more money we need, it's less pigs. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" The ridiculous sums of money would be better spent on building community connection rather than industry people ('equal animals'!) packing their wallets with power, money, and social media headlines. End.
HUMANE Clinic is preparing its next Soteria Just Listening therapeutic respite retreat. We are so excited to be getting on with bringing different approaches and models to reality in our communities, as an alterative to other 'mental health' constructs. Without the funding to deliver a permanent Soteria Just Listening House in South Australia, HUMANE Clinic is moving ahead in offering short retreats using the values and ideas of the Soteria model, along side the Just Listening approach as we offer therapeutic community style spaces. The retreat is a place of mutuality and companionship in a residential country setting. Psychotherapists from Humane Clinic and individuals who experience unusual/ altered states, 'psychosis' or other human distress commune together for 4 days: experiencing human to human connection and recognizing the many states of legitimate being that each of us might know. An opportunity to accept and understand all Dissociachotic states as they arise and evaporate in human relational contexts. Change is always possible and being part of making that happen is a joy. #humanclinic #humantohuman #dissociachotic #community #compassion #psychosis #love #compassion #change #knowing #reawaken #justlistening #justlisteningcommunity

Suicide Narratives Suicide Meaning Conversation (SMC) supports people to develop a meaningful narrative that sits behind, beyond and central to the journey of arriving at the suicidal experience, especially when this is an ongoing and repetitive experience (as it is for so many). The SMC seeks to develop understanding of the experiences of suicide in a person’s life as meaningful and important. The SMC offers a space to explore a person’s experiences of suicide from the first time a person experienced suicidal feeling, until the current moment

ANNOUNCEMENT 🔔 'JUST LISTENING COMMUNITY' IS CHANGING TO BECOME MORE ACCESSIBLE AND EVEN BETTER! Earlier in the year we released the ‘Just Listening Community six-month evaluation report’ detailing the success of the Just Listening model in offering a genuine alternative service for people experiencing suicide, psychosis, and emotional distress. We are now approaching 12 months of Just Listening Community being open. After much feedback, we have decided to make some changes that will ensure the service is more accessible for people in the community. So, we will be closing temporarily while we are setting up a slightly different way of being able to access ‘Just Listening’. Just listening Community will be out of action from Friday 14th April and we will be back on the week starting Monday 9th of May. While the model of ‘Just Listening’ will be the same, we are making a change to the way it can be accessed in order to reach more people in the community who Just Listening Community can support. We understand that this may be difficult for some people who would otherwise visit Just Listening Community during this period, and while it is an incredibly hard decision to make, we believe that by stepping away for a moment and applying the necessary changes, we can return with an improved service for the community. 🙏 #justlistening #justlisteningcommunity #jlc #community #support #compassion #changes #changing #humaneclinic #hu #humaneclinic
