As I said before. I doubt Britney has any real mental, or psychiatric problems other than all the TREMENDOUS stress she is under from her custody case. And all the people trying to exploit her. But she seems to be handling it all remarkably well. And seems to be taking good care of her-self. She looks healthier, and stronger as time goes by. In spite of everything. So she must be doing things right.
I mentioned high quality “COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL TALK THERAPY” in my other post as the only type of psychiatric treatment if any that I would use, or allow. Regardless of whatever the so-called psychiatric diagnoses was that I got labeled with. No drugs! No psych meds! Those drugs are highly toxic. And usually do more harm than good. But doctors like to push drug treatments. Even though it harms their patients. Because the doctors make more money that way.
What they will tell you is that they are following the “MEDICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES”. Medical practice guidelines are a kind of doctors cook book for how to treat some medical problems. But what they don’t tell you is that there is a lot of controversy currently over the medical practice guidelines. Especially American medical practice guidelines. Because it turns out that the guidelines have been severely compromised, and corrupted by doctors taking kickbacks from the drug companies to write guidelines in favor of using drugs. Even though this is not supported by good medical science, and safe, prudent medical practice. In fact, I have heard that the drug companies wrote some of the medical guidelines, and the doctors just signed them. This is an absolute monstrous disgrace on the American medical profession.
There are many types of talk therapy. And some are just as dangerous as drug therapy. You don’t want to confuse high quality “Cognitive Behavioral Talk Therapy” with traditional psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis where they go off on a tangent about your child hood, and so-called repressed memories. A few years back every body was on a psychoanalysis kick. Treating everything from menstrual cramps to hang nails with psychoanalysis. And somebody came up with the kooky theory that the cause of everybody’s problems were the result of repressed memory’s of being raped by a mother or father when they were a child. “If I’m Lying. I’m Dying.” Of course this was later disproved as hog wash. But only after it destroyed many lives. And many family’s. Some people committed suicide, and murder. Only to later learn they had been duped by their doctors.
The same type of thing is going on now with using antidepressants, and a host of other psych meds on everyone they can push these poisons onto. It just makes me sick…
So what is high quality “Cognitive Behavioral Talk Therapy”. Very simplistically, at it’s best, it is like having a very knowledgeable, very good friend to talk to that really listens to you, and who cares about you, and cares about what is CURRENTLY going on in your life. A friend that keeps up with what is going on with you. And what you are going through. A friend that gently helps you see the positive, hopeful side of things. A friend that helps you see the cup as always half full. Not half empty. A friend that doesn’t encourage negative thinking, and actions. A friend that is always on your side. But is also objective enough to help you see the other side. So you can find the most positive ways of working with people you maybe in conflict with. A friend that has the medical, technical, and experiential knowledge to deal with, and access how well you are doing with taking care of your basic needs, things like I have mentioned so often in all my post (nutrition, hydration, exercise, rest, etc…) A Friend who knows how to advise you, And help you with getting your needs met in the safest, most healthy ways.
It does sound like I am talking about a good friend, or a parent. Doesn’t it? Except that there may be things that you might not be comfortable talking about, even with your best friend. And they may not be able to handle hearing some things. Same with a parent. Also they may not have the medical knowledge to deal with things like nutrition needs. And sleep problems. And other medical problems that might also be having a negative effect on your state of mind. But most importantly, A parent or a friend may not have enough objectivity to help you see the other side in as positive a way as possible. When you are very close to someone you cant help but want to hurt, and condemn anyone that hurts them. Especially if it is your child they hurt. But negative emotions like that are not helpful, and only make things worse.
As I said I would not let anyone put any labels, or diagnosis on me. The doctors and the drug companies want to put a label, and a diagnosis on everyone so they can push drugs on them. Also, once they put a label, and diagnosis on you, you are no longer who you really are. You are no longer a real person. You are only who (in their limited, and little minds) they say you are. Like Bipolar Britney, or Psychotic Britney ect… So then it is much easier to say that you don’t own your-self. So they can take your rights away. And control your life. In your case. Your art, and wealth. The only label, or diagnosis I would put on you, and the only label, or diagnosis I think actually fits is. “GIFTED YOUNG ARTIST, AND MOTHER”. Any other medical label is just about the doctors, and the medical industry trying to exploit you. And I think you know that. You probably know more about being exploited than most people in the world.
As you can see. Even when looked at in a very simplistic way high quality “cognitive behavioral talk therapy” is complex. But it can also be very powerful. Just having someone you can explicitly trust to tell anything that bothers you to, and also to unburden your-self can have very powerful therapeutic effects.
Cognitive behavioral talk therapy deals with the here, and now. With what is currently going on in your life now. Not much about what happened in the past. Or about repressed feelings, and thoughts you may have in the past. Dealing with past stuff is more what psychoanalysis is about. And I think personally a waste of time, and money for anyone except people planning on practicing psychiatry. Because psychiatrist need to try and make sure they have their own heads screwed on right, before they try and help anyone else straiten out their head.
A very famous French philosopher René Descartes once said “Cogito, ergo sum” (Latin: “I think, therefore I am”). You see, how you think can really change how you feel. And how you feel can really change how you think. So you can learn to have a lot of power over how you feel. By using your power over how you choose to think.
As to where you can find high quality professionals like this. I don’t know. But I am sure they are out there. I know they are understandably expensive. But I think you can handle that Britney.
Well I hope this helps you Britney. I have seen people call you Brit Brit. And you do have a kind of cute Brit Brit quality to you.
