“I would rather be the child of a mother who has all the inner conflicts of the human being than be mothered by someone for whom all is easy and smooth, who knows all the answers, and is a stranger to doubt.”
—D.W. Winnicott
To me, mental health is most profound in those able to build courage in the face of dread, who love deeply while raging wisely, and who can leap with joy and collapse in anguish.
It’s about expanding, not controlling.
It may prove difficult to market cultivating capacities to accept limitations and uncertainty, be still and take initiative, appreciate ambivalence and ambiguity, practice humility and flexibility, balance optimism and skepticism, & honor oneself while empathizing with another.
Imo, “mental health” tends not to be glamorous. It is not likely to sell to the masses. It is contrary to a culture enticed by quick fixes, superficial means of self-worth, an excessive focus on productivity, and aspirations of being correct, dominant, and superior.
Once. I was reading The Martian Chronicles and hit a particularly chilling creepy part, and I threw the book (not across the room, onto the bed) and yelled “nope!”
I recovered and continued on, but I never forgot that moment 😂
