It shocks me, in retrospect, me how the Deer Tribe responds to suicidal ideation with “just push through it”, and that it became such a necessity for you to stand up and say you were “in pity” or interested in a reflection. Praise God for June and Olivia supporting you with genuine kindness ❤️. Also, I also did EDMR therapy (with a Christian therapist who read scriptures to me) and it did help tremendously. She offered me an app I still use when I can’t get my body to settle down, if anyone’s interested. I’m not sure if people with intense PSTD should engage in it without guidance, but my Lord, I’m glad I found EDMR.
I'm so glad it helped you and that you found a Christian therapist. I have mixed feelings about EMDR. I've had good results with it for certain issues (like the one I wrote about in this post), but for others, it had minimal impact. It seems to be a good tool for targeted problems with someone who is qualified.
My brother told me that the act of suicide is usually a split-second decision, and it's scary to have an experience of the pain that leads up to it. This is just another example of the Deer Tribe's dangerous culture. Serious mental health struggles are labeled "pity" or "at the effect of" or "victim mentality." I have it on good authority from a trusted source who is an ex-Deer Tribe member that one of Harley's former apprentices committed suicide. And a woman who attended a Q many, many years ago left the workshop and ran into traffic, which killed her. These practices are dangerous, yet they are handed out in group settings by unqualified people with no oversight. It's the blind leading the blind.
I’m so glad you’re doing better 💐❤️
Me too
