AUGUST 9, 2022

I like to bounce around many topics here on My Brain’s Not Broken, especially surrounding anxiety and depression. However, one of my other favorite things to do is break down myths surrounding mental health. Usually it happens on a whim, when I feel there’s a need to debunk a certain aspect of mental health. The more that I do this, the more I see a need to debunk and breakdown these mental health myths.

It was 1985. I had recently graduated with my Masters in Social Work. I was working for the Catholic Children’s Aid Society in downtown Toronto. The case involved a young boy. If I recall correctly, maybe about twelve-years-of-age. The issue was school truancy. The thinking of the supervisor was to possibly apprehend. We had yet to really investigate.

A frequent complaint that therapists hear from couples when they enter treatment is that they have felt hurt by each other. They want to tell us all about the pain that their partner has inflicted on them, and they often seem to want the therapist to declare which one of them has been the “most” hurt. The difference between hurt and harm can be conceptualized as two points on the ends of a continuum–from the most innocent forgetting to a lethal beating.
