Healing from trauma is crazy. It is unstable and it destabilises self and others.

Why? Because it requires me to grow beyond the "stable" pseudo-personality that the traumatising family-, cult- or societal systems pushed on me.

Society is sick and sickening, it causes trauma and dissociation. Then it tells us that WE are crazy, unstable, perhaps ridiculous and perhaps dangerous for doing what we need to do to heal. In order to truly heal, one HAS TO become even more crazy than before, as in more "unstable" in society's eyes. Less adjusted to its "stable" structures and demands.

I know, I know, the first step of trauma therapy is stabilisation. But what we want to be stable is stuff like having basic needs met, having housing and food and at least one stable, respectful and nurturing relationship. We DON'T need to stabilise the pseudo-personality! That's the crime of therapy that I'm rebelling against. They stabilise the wrong thing and they destabilise the wrong thing. They take away our agency to let our true self emerge and make choices.

It's like telling a caterpillar that emerging from its cocoon is "unstable" and pathological and that it should go back to the nice stable larval version of itself.

In my case, that was the version that is easily lead and that assimilates into existing systems. Not a threat.

But we deserve to destabilise the systems that did this to us. The families, cults, religions, therapies, states, capitalism - all of it. And that includes getting rid of the rules and beliefs and triggers and feelings that they installed inside us. Killing the cops in our heads. Killing the despotic parents, the double-standardised inner critic, the victim blamer in our heads.

Reflections In The Sea Of Nurnen by Doug Hammond & David Durrah, released on Tribe in 1975

Reflections In The Sea Of Nurnen is the masterpiece debut release from drummer, percussionist and vocalist Doug Hammond in collaboration with keyboardist David Durrah, who is known for his session work for Black Jazz and Tribe Records. Originally planned for issue on Strata-East, Hammond instead took the record to Phil Ranelin and Wendell Harrison’s Detroit-based Tribe Records. Hammond’s velvet smooth vocal shimmers on the soul-jazz number “Wake Up Brothers” and the poetry-laced “Moves,” while Durrah’s Fender Rhodes and Moog synthesizer add a cosmic, avant-garde flavor to record with the instrumental pieces “Reflections” and “Space I + II.”... - In Sheep's Clothing Hi Fi

Madvillain [MF DOOM & MadLib] - Madvillainy

It’s the duo that gives, from MF Doom & MadLib

Holy shit!
I remember buying this many moons ago on CD & headed right into production techniques, the lyricism & all round wonderment of this record.
But then caught this in a charity shop for an utter steal for its variation

This blend of comic book shenanigans, janky flow & fast acting cement of beats, that binds it all together, makes it one of the main pillars in hip hop

"Many people adopt psychiatric or diagnostic language and frame their experiences as being external to their identity. This is the perspective of having a “mental illness”, a problem they would like to fix or recover from, usually under the direction of clinicians. People who see themselves as having mental health conditions, disorders, disabilities, illnesses, and diseases view their experiences are something external to them so it can be treated and even cured. This narrative is key to the success of the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries, which benefit greatly by being the conduit to that treatment.

Many hold this perspective because they are in desperate pain and need access to care, support, and treatment. The changes people with this view are seeking might actually be more psychiatry—more hospitals, more beds, more clinicians, and easier to access medication/mental health services. The problem is that this perspective barely recognises the significance of trauma, systematic inequalities, spirituality, intergenerational, socio-economic, political, environmental, or relational factors." --Lisa Archibald, Mad in America Blog

Telemetric Sounds by The Helicentrics, released on Madlib Invazion in 2020.

The Heliocentrics’ albums are all confounding pieces of work. Drawing equally from the funk universe of James Brown, the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra, the cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone, the sublime fusion of David Axelrod, Pierre Henry’s turned-on musique concrète, and Can’s beat-heavy Krautrock, they have – regardless of the label on which they’ve released their music - pointed the way towards a brand new kind of psychedelia, one that could only come from a band of accomplished musicians who were also obsessive music fans. Drummer Malcolm Catto and bassist Jake Ferguson are the Heliocentrics’ masterminds and producers, and they are obsessive weirdos in today’s musical climate, searching, progressive humans who are often out-of-time with current trends. - Bandcamp
