"The issue with this man, at least in part, was a deep attachment to DSM labels and the sort of BS he got in his training…conditioning that psychiatry has inserted into the minds of almost anyone who gets any sort of western training in psychology, social work, psychiatry etc. When one bumps up against such a person who is not aware of how deep the conditioning runs then the minute one reveals a history that includes a psychiatric label the person who is subject to the conditioning leaves the present moment and stops being with the other…they are no longer speaking to the person in front of them but at them through the dark lens of a psychiatric construct. Such a person becomes immediately dangerous if the person they are speaking to is in a vulnerable position, expecting and needing care. This is the reality for most people who enter the mental illness system. Basically when I encounter folks who cannot put aside the conditioning of their training I will simply not share personal information or allow myself to be vulnerable if at all possible because it’s dangerous to risk retraumatization. Yes, the psychiatric system was deeply traumatizing." beyondmeds/2013/08/20/freaking-out-therapists/
