the ones I work with have had lengthy stays at treatment facilities bc of their behavioral issues. of course, these things are on a spectrum tho and sure many ppl falls somewhere on it.
I can appreciate that. Have you ever wondered why? I can see reasons in fiat economy/clown world, and even fiat food... How did these problems manifest (or did they) 200 years ago, and how were they addressed?
Sry, serious take on a serious response to a not so serious comment. Maybe should bring back giggles instead.
imo today's world is like a pressure cooker and people haven't yet learned how to reliably balance their nervous systems. we are at the crux of Fiat and whatever is beyond Fiat. and we've been cooking for the past 100 years of the usd being manipulated and devalued. the effects trickle down into our psyches without most people even noticing. then they unconsciously regurgitate that corruption into their daily interactions. we're all just unbalanced nervous systems bumping into each other unless you actively work to be something different.
ime the kids I have worked with seem to me to be the very worst reflection of traits of what their parents never wanted to acknowledge in themselves. so it's mirrored in the kids and the parents are horrified. but instead of the parent looking inward, the kid becomes the problem...way easier that way. who likes to look at their own faults? the parents are so busy trying to outrun the disappearing value of the dollar that all they can muster is reacting over and over. the kids feel unseen and unloved and lash out or harm themselves bc that is our initial reaction from a fight or flight nervous system. most of my work is guiding them to the rest and digest nervous system by just seeing them. seeing their icky and ugly conditioned reactions and gently still showing up for them.
I imagine that 200 years ago, these kids wouldn't have survived. I have had parents seriously tell me that they would not choose to hang out with their kid if it wasn't their kid.
