Whether stereotypically in a man or perhaps in a rationally minded woman. toward balance Cyclic balancing of these gender-associated traits Vacillating between opposing extremes When locked into opposing extremes, you can be irrational one moment and then unemotional the next. You suppress your emotional outbursts to appear respectfully rational. You angrily yell at your son. Then collect yourself to sternly warn him with a straight face. He sees you act calm but likely wonders when that volcano may explode again. Immaturity traps you into swinging between extremes of emotional outbursts and hyperrationality. Maturity spurs you to complement these seemingly opposing sides. Balancing complementary sides The more balanced your life, the more you can integrate being reasonable with being intuitive . Each time you act reasonably for the situation and experience good results, the more you can trust your feelings, your intuition, to inform you of what best to do. You mature as you face challenges with both the option of being reasonable and being intuitive. You instantly temper your intuitive feelings of annoyance with reasonable ways to address the situation. You respond more to threats than react. Oscillating toward a balanced center The more balanced your life, the more you can integrate being reasonable with being intuitive . Each time you act reasonably for the situation and experience good results, the more you can trust your feelings, your intuition, to inform you of what best to do. You mature as you face challenges with both the option of being reasonable and being intuitive. You instantly temper your intuitive feelings of annoyance with reasonable ways to address the situation. You respond more to threats than react. Encountering the holistic center Your responsiveness becomes both intuitive and reasonable . You automatically blend these complementary qualities in your routine decisions. They no longer contradict. You learn you can trust your gut to express what you know is unacceptable to you. Your intuition reliably guides you to remove those threats of what's unacceptable, in ways others can trust as reasonable. You can now resolve more needs, remove more pain, and restore more wellness. Transspiritually compelled holism As a transspirit , I am spiritually compelled to transcend conventional opposites. Instead of a complementary opposite person outside of myself pulling me into balancing my reasonableness and intuition , an inexplicable force of nature within pulls me to balance these traits. This explains my asexuality. Much as the Apostle Paul described himself, I've never burned with sexual desire for another. And much like that New Testament writer, I relate to others on their own terms instead of imposing my own. I too spiritually stretch beyond the imposing divide between male and female . I am both masculine and feminine. I am both liberal-progressive and conservative. I am both complainant and defendant. I must be unitarily both, to more fully resolve needs and reach more of humanity's potential. Those insisting on one-or-the-other get easily tripped up by life's paradoxes. Their emotional attachment to a comforting familiarity of opposites tends to blind them. They often uncritically trust the veneer of contradictions, which easily obscures some profoundly complementary sides. From the myopia of their painfully unresolved needs and consequential diminished capacity to function, they tend to misinterpret every contradiction as mutually exclusive. They judge by appearances. They can't see the forest for the trees. They rely on adversarialism. Many of them oppose my transspiritual existence. They vehemently guard their familiar norms of opposing sides. They indulge in side-taking when unwarranted. They resist any discomfort of having their oppositional norms questioned. They avoid engaging me, who has the liberating wisdom that can free them from their pain. Some even project their avoided pain onto me. ...all my life... ...falsely accused, wrongly convicted, falsely imprisoned for a dozen years, lifetime sentence as a sex offender despite being asexual with no prior or subsequent history of criminality...

Need-response posits this as a vital adjunct to a conflict orientation of staying open and learning amidst conflict, to dissolve the constricting tension of staying closed and defensive amidst conflict. social need (n. ) A necessity for functioning with coordination or with the help from others, specifically for things one cannot provide solely for oneself. Covers the external side of one’s psychosocial wellbeing.

  • humility

    2 < Back to list A. Character refunction 2 A humility Humility , as used here, is facing the reality of who you are, both your positive and negative qualities. By being realistic about yourself, you can be more realistic with others. You make it easier for others to relate with you , to be generous toward you. As you toward them, when they are humble toward you. More needs can resolve, removing pain and raising functioning. 2 .1 A Need experience Increasing social alienation tends to increase the divide between who you honestly are along with what you honesty can do, and who others expect you to be along with their expectations of what you can do. Your social-needs like social status and group inclusion pulls you to present yourself as they expect you to be. You may drift into believing it yourself. Relating to others realistically from your authentic self allows you to attract deeper social connections. When you reveal to others what you cannot provide for yourself, they are apt to be more responsive . You inspire others to drop their guard and reveal themselves more honestly. You grow social capital who crave, just like you, to be accepted for who and what they are. 2 .2 A Defunctionalizing Info This subsection applies 'relational knowing' statements to illuminate how this defunction relationally lowers your ability to fully function.

  • C07 General Principle

    Wellness is psychosocial. < Back C07 General Principle List of all principles Wellness is psychosocial. Image: Pixabay – jplenio (click on meme to see source image) Summary The more you address your personal needs to the neglect of your social situational needs, the less you can maintain wellness. The more you address your social needs to the neglect of your personal situational needs, you will also lose full wellness. Your wellbeing counts on a balance of all internal psychological factors with relatively equal attention to all external factors shaping your needs. Description Which do you think is more likely? Mental illness occurs only in the mind so changing one’s thinking leads to mental wellbeing. OR Mental and physical wellbeing results from a mix of internal and external wellness factors. Anankelogy Anankelogy recognizes how the quality of your wellbeing depends equally on internal and external factors. This challenges conventional thinking in your favor. Wellness remains elusive when failing to complement its internal contributors with its external contributors. Conventional thinking around wellness, at least in a Western cultural context, tends to bend toward internal psychological and biological determinants . Much of psycho therapy assumes if you change enough of your thinking and behaviors you will attain wellness. Much disappointment soon follows. Only recently has the practice of psychiatry and related fields begun to acknowledge external socioenvironmental contri butors to wellbeing . A biopsychosocial model emerged in the late 20th century, but the old model persists. If you seek out healing, expect the internally reductionist paradigm to persist. After all, it can be easier to get a struggling individual to adjust to a sick system than to cure an immensely large sick system. When the impersonal healer objectifies the body of those hurt by society, they don’t have to face the possibility that they’re contributing to the ongoing damage. If all of your anxiety about losing your job springs from unfair yet legally protected actions from your boss, psychotherapy may not be the answer. Perhaps the psychotherapist can help the client nail the source of their anxiety to a situation beyond their personal control. But then what? Need-response Need-response picks up there. As a new professional practice, it starts with the foundational premise that wellness is psychosocial . Anankelogy recognizes how your wellbeing gets shaped equally by internal bio-psychological factors and socioenvironmental factors. Instead of trying to integrate a new biopsychosocial model or vulnerability-stress model , need-response begins with a holistic premis e of wellness . Instead of assuming society functions well with its current alienating norms (privileging avoidant adversarialism ), need-response works to reconnect us with each other to optimize our personal and collective wellbeing. Need-response’s holistic approach goes further and includes a spiritual dimension. Anankelogy recognizes that recurring spiritual practices dependably correlates with resolution of needs. For example, the more you vulnerably trust Creator G-d when acknowledging being too powerless to face a crisis on your own, you “inexplicably” can find ways to rise above the problem and find a meaningful solution. Social sciences recognize moderate correlations between two variables as significant because of the complexities involved. Anankelogy dares to apply this to the objective fact of each unchosen need . Reactive Problem The less we appreciate wellness as equally internal and external, the more we can get pulled into what anankelogy recognizes as psychosocial imbalance . You either address your sensitive self-needs at the expense of your affected social needs , or you address your sensitive social needs at the expense of your affected self-needs . For example, exaggerating your self-need for privacy to the point of neglecting your social need for intimacy . Or becoming overdependent on others to satisfy your social need for supports that you underserve your self-need for self-initiative . Your body then warns you with emotional pain that something here is not quite right. We often react to this emotional pain with “psychosocial vacillation ” of swinging between the extremes of “reductionist individual ism ” and “ex aggerated collectiv ism ”. We attach ourselves ideologically to generalizations trusted to ease this emotional tension. We take a political side to cope with our troubled psychosocial orientation . Full wellness remains disturbingly elusive the more we cling to civic legalism for relief. That’s when we prioritize obedience to laws or to social norms over serving the needs for which laws and norms exist. Wellness actually declines the more avoid its psychosocial foundation. Where do you go for professional help to address a load of anxiety overwhelming your life from some situation? Seeking psychotherapy can be fruitlessly stigma tizing if implicitly expecting to adjust only your internal factors. Seeking legal or political help can become counterproductive if only offering some pain relief after adjusting some external factors. Responsive Solution Need-response was created to equally address the internal biopsychological factors and externa socioenvironmental factors impacting your wellbeing. No other professional service exists that recognizes wellness as psychosocial from the start. Only need-response sets you up to resolve your affected self-needs and social needs equally. Only need-response provides for psychosocial balancing your self-needs and social needs . Only need-response seeks to fully resolve each other’s affected self-needs and social needs . Responsivism begins at the individual level. But when held back by impenetrable social pressures, such responsive services can segue into a robust wellness campaign . The service client learns how to speak truth to power (STTP ) in ways those powerful are incentivized to listen to those impacted (LTTI ). Everyone’s wellness requires psychosocial balance . For example, many among the wrongly convicted innocent cannot be adequately served by either psychotherapy or legal resources. Psychotherapy may help them get through the consequences of an unresponsive judicial system, but the external contributors must be addressed. The legal system of the adversarial judicial process has yet to faithfully identify and address each viable case of wrongly convicted innocence. Innocence projects cannot serve each viable case of compelling innocence. If the available facts of the case do not present a path to reverse the wrongful conviction, even if they can see grounds for innocence, such innocence litigators typically will not serve the innocent claimant. This includes a population estimated in the tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands. But our current legal system lets them all rot. Responsivism takes a different approach. Instead of the court’s binary options (i.e., pass-fail, guilt-innocence, defendant-complainant), “responsive innocence ” automatically scores the viability of an innocence claim. It invites the claimant to compare the details of their case to known exonerations . The more the claimant can cite factors producing other wrongful convictions (e.g., misidentification, official misconduct, tunnel vision, debunked forensic science, coerced confession), the higher the innocence viability score. This unique approach goes even further. It upends this impersonal and adversarial legal framework to serve the needs for which laws exist. The falsely accused claimant identifies what they see as the affected needs of the accuser or accusers. Then they can raise their own impacted needs. They respond to the needs of all involved, including the prosecutor and law enforcement authorities. The self-needs and social needs of all get addressed, toward better wellness for all.

Post in our Engagement forum your thoughtful response to one of these: I’m in therapy now with an MSW and she does address the social dimensions of my problem.
