About this episode

Tune in for an exclusive preview of another premium episode of Back from the Borderline, where we tackle an exploration of the roots of psychiatric care and its potential to oppress and mystify. This sneak peek will confront the uncomfortable, questioning if the care provided truly heals or further entangles us in unseen binds.


Topics Covered:

✧ Deciphering oppression in psychiatric treatment

✧ The role of awareness in transforming our mental health journey

✧ Unmasking 'mystification' in therapy and its effects on our autonomy

✧ The crucial equation for liberation: awareness + contact
