Mental Health Days

Defining "medicalization" as the perception of nonmedical conditions as medical problems and nondiseases as diseases, Thomas Szasz has devoted much of his career to exposing the dangers of "medicalizing" the conditions of some who simply refuse to conform to society's expectations.

For mental health professionals who must regularly guard against compassion fatigue and secondary traumatization, intentional self-care isn't just essential; it's a survival tool. If therapists don't take proper care of themselves, they can't do their work effectively.

"Your child can achieve great things". A few years ago, pregnant women in four corners of the world heard those words and hoped they could be true.

"Fosforito! The explosion happened so quickly there was no stopping it. My mother called me 'tiny match' when she would see this fire exploding from me."

Shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.
