He had to be classifying whereas she was simply open to possibilities including non medical models.

That makes sense and it is cool your T rolls with it and helps you expand. Yes, I very much enjoy relating to you in this way. On the one hand this is an incredibly all on my own journey. On the other hand it is apparent I'm never alone.
I also get what you're saying about your pdoc. There are two in the practice I go to. The other one would never even give me a chance to explain. She simply sees sickness that needs to be treated. I see a tangled web of root causes that need to be unwound and healed and appreciated for the fantastical mess it is.
All of this reminds me of the Autism speaks campaign. Psychosis speaks, it just speaks in code and the keys lie deep within our own experiences and layers of consciousness. Figuring out a way to communicate with it unlocks the ability to transform it and reprogram with healthier expressions.
