Revisiting the past and seeing people through their authentic lens

Now I see a person institute is inspired by people and shares thoughts about different understandings of depression psychosis anxiety and other symptoms traditionally viewed in mental illness narratives this podcast for us reflects the courageous journey of someone who experienced severe trauma and concurrent symptoms but because they were not labeled with a diagnosis they were able to protect their personhood and ability to make decisions on them being a person rather than a diagnosis.More and more symptoms are seen as created from trauma and that they served a positive purpose to wellness.
