Dissociachotic: Rethinking Psychosis Through Human Connection
“It's a way of reminding everyone who is in relationship with someone who is expressing understandable, meaningful, non-ordinary states that, ah, this is something to learn from, this is something to listen to and find meaningful, and it's skillful as a survival mechanism and I would say, more than just a survival mechanism too.”
What if the experience often labeled as 'psychotic' is actually a form of dissociation triggered by relational threats? In this thought-provoking episode of 'ReAwaken', hosts Matt Ball and Stephanie Mitchell introduce the concept of Dissociachotic. This fresh perspective reframes psychosis as a natural human response to feeling unsafe in relationships. Matt and Stephanie dive deep into how creating relational safety can help dissolve these intense experiences, emphasizing the power of human connection and understanding.
They share stories and insights that challenge traditional views on mental health, trauma, and healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand non-ordinary states through a compassionate lens.
