Trying to understand symptoms that are complex can truly tire you out. This live video gives you an in-depth look at psychosis. You can also see my other video here: th-cam.com/video/BrGCdAvlIsQ/w-d-xo.html.
Tamara, I 'found' you two days ago. In that one short video about the Crazy Bastard Salad that was my family, you removed all barriers to 'seeing' the truth of the matter. THANK YOU!!! (CBS or Crazy Bastard Salad is my own personally invented term for the circumstances that formed me) I am not religious but hella spiritual. Finding you was no accident. I first started looking for you in 1966 following a back-alley abortion. I was 16. Four years before that I had emerged from the remote bush of Alaska. The previous 12 years were~~ in a small cabin with both parents @ the top of the narc scale, (at best), spilling over into socio/psycho daily. I was the selected target of the ugly. All siblings (5) were trained to think, believe, and act toward me as the parents did. Between 1966 and now, I have logged more than 40 YEARS of weekly therapy, the "adult children of..." meetings/classes/etc, re-parenting groups, rooms full of self-help books, and some guided work with bufo and changa. I finally cut all ties with my remaining siblings 5 years ago. Tragically, my children were also infected with this same wholesale disregard and disdain for me during the summers spent with the entire family commercial fishing in Alaska. I am turning 72 in a couple of weeks. Before I found your videos, I was already intending to present my sons and daughter with a choice between committing to treating me with basic kindness/respect or going with no contact. The reason? I have a big wide-open heart for all humans, most notably, my children. The carelessness, with/to/about ME that my children learned from my bio-fam results in "unnecessary roughness" in conversations. Every single time, it lands like a gut punch--the sharp tone, the raised voice, the general disrespect. Now, I am considering asking them to watch some of your videos prior to our discussions. I would appreciate any and all input you might have. Thank you Please keep the videos coming!!
Thank you Tamara for talking about these topics. It's so hard to find good information about this. I stumbled upon other theoretical perspectives on this topic, but I don't resonate with then. Also I like that you take in account the spiritual reality. I started studying theology last year and I was afraid that I would slip into delusions and odd thinking again (I did have some when I was younger). Luckily, our professors are always saying that faith ALWAYS has to go with the reason. "Faith and reason are like two wings upon which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth"- Fides et ratio by John Paul II. This was lifechanging and I feel I can now securely throw myself into the sea of exploring God. I thought I wanted to say something else, but I guess I just wanted to share what helped me with my fears.
Dealing with family or loved ones who suffer from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia is extremely hard and difficult. Especially if their in a bipolar psychosis or a schizophrenic psychosis. I went through a lot with loves ones and family who suffers from mental health issues. It's very, very hard.
Sigh....it is quite difficult, especially as an HSP or empath. You love them with patience while trying to gain better understanding each time you experience their episodes (for however long they last) but it's still painful to watch and endure.
I hate dreaming because my dreams get so traumatic. And I'm always dreaming about my family. When I smoke Marijuana I don't dream. But now I want to get sober and it's so hard because I been dependant on it so long but I'm tired of being high. But when I'm sober the dreams start again and scare me. I was diagnosed with bipolar but idk if it's really symptoms from Marijuana or if I actually have the disorder. My brother is also schizophrenic and I feel so much like him sometimes it's scary. I could be having a conversation with someone and I'm so focused then randomly in the middle of the conversation it's weird like my eyes shift and go blank and I mentally check out then check back in the conversation and it's like I'm blank. It makes me feel so stupid when I'm speaking to someone because they notice. Idk why that happens. It's so much. Also how I barely remember my childhood so much.
My brother also has this dissociation when talking to people. He just all of a sudden says he didn't hear a thing for the last few minutes. I don't mind it, because I know why it happens. I hope you manage to go clean without much struggle.
This video is very insightful and informative. Particularly a point of interest to me is the scale of schizophrenia disorder. Definitely a educational take away for me. Thank you again for your indepth knowledge and clinical experience on the matter!
I'm not clear on what you mean exactly. But I am familiar with collective psychosis or shared psychosis as it was previously called. The dynamics in families like this are beyond difficult to deal with. The interactions are traumatic.
Still trying to understand but don't want to on there level but there more going on when they get pleasure out another's pain or tournament and even more when they cause it.
Yes, and I'm sorry to hear this. This is never an easy situation because the person is too sick to see themselves or have personal insight. You may want to Google the term Anosognosia, if I didn't mention this in the video, to learn more about how to manage this.
I'm not familiar with the research on this association to answer correctly. But from what I know right now I don't think there is an association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and schizophrenia. There are, however, some medical conditions that either exacerbates psychosis or lays lays dormant until a specific time which could be when a medical or an autoimmune disease is triggered.
@@TherapistTamaraHill thx, that makes sense, i thought if u had a psychotic break, u will always have schizophrenia, but she can maybe be described as a bit bi-polar

Well said.
Please do a video about repressed trauma! I'm having a hard time bringing up traumas I disassociate from.
On the list! You might like this video too: th-cam.com/video/jDRM__MkRQI/w-d-xo.html
Yes, Please

Thanks so much! And you're welcome.
What about collective family psychosis of a narc or psychotic family against the scapegoat?
I'm not clear on what you mean exactly. But I am familiar with collective psychosis or shared psychosis as it was previously called. The dynamics in families like this are beyond difficult to deal with. The interactions are traumatic.
Gotta catch the replay 😞😞😞👍👊
😊👍
Still trying to understand but don't want to on there level but there more going on when they get pleasure out another's pain or tournament and even more when they cause it.
Keeps cutting out and pausing 😢
I saw some of that. It's just youtube again. I'm sorry.
Trying to understand this psychosis because my son was diagnosed with. He really does not think anything is wrong but I really need help!
Yes, and I'm sorry to hear this. This is never an easy situation because the person is too sick to see themselves or have personal insight. You may want to Google the term Anosognosia, if I didn't mention this in the video, to learn more about how to manage this.
