#8 - Adoption From The Birth Mothers Perspective - Man Against Himself - How Not To Kill Yourself - The power of a taboo - Suffering is a sign of life, not of death

FIRST: We go back in time to understand an early view and our foundation today around suicide, the theme from the last chapter. Prepare for some long quotations!! Karl Menninger "Man against himself" and a symposium (Adler and Friedman) - then we dive into Clancy Martins book: "How Not to Kill Yourself- Portrait of a Suicidal Mind" and talk more about the impulse to self-destruct in a modern view. Come with me into a another exploration - you get to decide if there is any use to it. The themes are: • How not to kill yourself !!!! • Man against himself • Collective or individual context? • Keep the patient from being self-destructive? • Why do we struggle AGAINST dying?? • The Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, 1910, a turning point in suicides • How best to survive a suicidal mind with Clancy Martin • Suicide is HARDER than it looks • Guidelines for a suicidal mind for example exercise to help your mood and to have a sense of humour • Longing for death? Keep longing, don't react! • Be truthful ....unless..... • AA - christianity saving alcoholics? • How we historically have treated addicted and suicidal people !! • The threat of being dis-membered • HOW can you confess to think of suicide, when you people around you will be very sad - AND burdened, to be honest • You can have THOUGHTS of suicide and not long for it • The potential for HEALING suicidal ideation is GREAT • Pisces - Pluto - suicide signature but that is the lower response - the higher is all about healing yourself and healing others through true ALIVENESS • Major life decision - "Sliding doors" moment, is it fate, childhood- conditioning or a life-crisis desperation who is chosing? • Tabooooooooo • And how no one cares about you, until you care for you • Adoption with Abbie Goldberg • Boundaries - social media - adoption in the INSTA age • Adoption in any time period - you want your child to be happy!!
