Why has conflict continued to be a common problem between parents and teens? Is it becoming worse, the fight between parents and teens, or has it always been this way? A question might be to ask ourselves whether this depends upon the https://lnkd.in/eBzb7x36 “Unlocking the Intrinsic-Identity® of all Individuals in Service of Greater Human Engagement” https://lnkd.in/e9X_98Y5

FEELING UNSEEN, UNDER VALUED? Have you stumbled upon the profound realization of how essential it is to feel seen and valued? When I look around at how our world is evolving, I believe the idea of feeling seen and valued is becoming increasingly difficult as we put profit before people, planet, and purposes. Yet it strikes me … https://lnkd.in/dg4NpcZm WITH-HUMANITY “Unlocking the Intrinsic-Identity® of all Individuals in Service of Greater Human Engagement” https://lnkd.in/eHRTzEQt

“Depression isn't one of our worst enemies but possibly one of the greatest blessings in our lives. Because it's only the symptom of a fundamental cause and urges us to finally embark on a long overdue, collective journey of discovery” Harald Walter Azmann This quote by Haralld is an important realisation. At WITH-HUMANITY we recognise “symptoms of a fundamental cause that urges us to finally embark on a long overdue, collective journey of discovery is at the heart of “Suppression of one’s Innate Self, our intrinsic motivations and talents.

A cheetah innately knows it has been put on the earth to run, it is after all the fastest land animal on earth, yet what happens when a Cheetah has this innate ability taken away? “An Oxford University study based on four decades of observing animals in captivity and in the wild found that animals such as polar bears, lions, tigers, and cheetahs “show the most evidence of stress and/or psychological dysfunction in captivity” and concluded that “the keeping of naturally wide-ranging carnivores should be either fundamentally improved or phased out.” … https://lnkd.in/dtgsD7qa

“The adversity you overcome becomes your life’s purpose” Sammy McDonald Have you ever wondered how you’ll find your life’s purpose/s and then suddenly realise you’ve kinda just fallen into it, something that you’re intrinsically drawn to. I coined a phrase a few years ago “your cross to bear is your gift to share” to point out how adversity shapes us towards our purpose in life and can become our greatest gift. Its import to recognise the difference between adversity and trauma. Trauma leaves deep wounds that need committed and trusted others to help you overcome. Whereas adversity is often not so wounding, it shapes & grows us if we allow it, moving us from a chrysalis to a butterfly. This is where we find our wings “There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?"

What are the “invisible” elements at play? You’re at work today and again you’re experiencing an individual who just seems so narcissistic, they’re creating a feeling of injustice within you, where it’s all about them. What’s going on? The future will be on the invisible elements that we’ve ignored because we believe if we can’t see them, they don’t exist, but how wrong we are: Biochemicals are just some of the “invisible” elements running amok today. When someone you work with looks like they’ve “lost their mind” what you may be witnessing is a brain swamped and addicted to biochemicals such as dopamine and noradrenaline. These biochemicals in an over supply put “us” into patterns of overdrive, we become “above the law”, go into a psychotic illusionary egotistical state that makes us believe we’re a Demi God, yet we’re actually drunk on our own cocktail of egoism, that short-lived feel good narrative of “I’m always right”. “The rush for dopamine.

Concealing the context to “so called” Mental Illness “I was undoubtedly part of a system that is about depoliticising people’s distress,” says consultant clinical psychologist and independent trainer Dr Lucy Johnstone. 14yrs ago I too set out to disprove Mental Illness completing a masters thesis under a similar topic -it has been a lonely road where, besides friends and family, not even my husband Channing McDonald believed my thesis. This is common with visionaries because we have a higher index of suspicion, scanning the environment to uncover what others choose not to see, to keep buried out of fear. Futurists see differently futurising what we see in our minds eye. For me it was lots of research, to bring to bear systemic injustices. Little did I realise that people like Lucy Johnstone of the “Power Threat Meaning Framework” (PTMF) and Jo Watson (AD4E) of #dropthedisorder were beating the same drum, along with others such as #stopthethyroidmadness - slowly our melodies are beginning to harmonise to bring a new song to the world. Mental Illness is a construct to hide the #fuckedupness in the world - as Lucy so eloquently puts it “misuses of power – from abuse and trauma to wider social factors such as poverty, inequality and discrimination – impact people’s lives” The PTMF as she says “reframes symptoms as survival strategies, developed both consciously and unconsciously to enable people to protect themselves and meet core needs” YOU ARE NOT MENTALLY ILL - this is a human construct and one of the greatest spread of global misinformation we have ever seen keeping people locked in dependency whilst others laude their power. Thanks to these strong women and men who are walking the path to stand up and be the change - it’s time to bring in the context and hold those who laude the power threat, accountable. https://lnkd.in/ear8hHBa
