The Psychology of a Label
** Trigger WARNING **
I’m just going to forewarn everyone now that this post and the accompanying video might very well be triggering for a lot of people.
Your child is not broken – the system is.
That statement alone could be triggering. We are all part of the system in some way. How can I say it’s broken? What are we supposed to do with that information?
That is for you to decide. Every one of us has the freedom to choose how, where, when to engage in a system that is broken. And, more importantly, if you know it’s broken then maybe it won’t hold so much power over you and you will feel empowered to seek what you need elsewhere. Perhaps you will feel encouraged to check in with yourselfbefore moving forward with any decisions that, on the surface, seem right because that’s what the “professionals” have told you but inside, there is a little voice whispering to you that there is another way. This interview is your invitation to listen to that little voice. It might seem daunting. It probably most likely will feel unfamiliar. But I promise, once you make that decision to change course, the universe will provide you with all you need to succeed.
If you haven’t trashed this newsletter at this point, then maybe this interview is exactly the first step to empowered, conscious parenting and doing things differently in service of YOUR child. Thank you for being curious.
Just like those annoying labels we find prickling our necks, a diagnosed label is the same. The same in that it might feel okay at first - it gives us a name, a description. But after some time, it might start to feel annoying and prickly. The system is not helpful, you’re feeling exhausted from trying to fit your child in a box. And, just like a clothing label, your child’s label can be removed.
