In which I discuss WHY I believe that framing my neurodiverse brain and the way I experience the world as a DISORDER, a disability and/or a PROBLEM which NEEDS to BE FIXed is only ONE way to frame it (and is potentially very limiting and dangerous).
I discuss:
decolonization begins within (how I treat my self and my parts) (decolonizing the self);
unlearning and questioning the colonial capitalist mindset;
reconnecting my parts;
learning love and compassion;
CURIOSITY as the polar opposite of shame;
and SO much more!
This was recorded in response to a listener asking for clarity on what I said about "mental illness is a deep disconnection from the self" in a past audio journal.
