Consider a leak under the kitchen sink. The sink is the vital heart of the kitchen just as the kitchen is the brain of the family for that is where we gather to sustain and enrich ourselves. If the sink stops contributing water, we aren't able to clean or prepare food. It the kitchen isn't functional, the family cannot meet everyday around the hearth in the traditional way.
That leaky sink is how mental illness effects the brain and body for if there is a slow leak, it may not be detected for a while... but the amount of damage done to the very structure of the house is detrimental. If one turns a blind eye to a leak, for even necessary reasons, the damage to the walls, floors, the very structure and strength of the house can be unrecoverable.
So what is an adult discovering mental illness to do when the brain has slowly caused this type of equivalent damage to her life? What renovation can be accomplished to make the sick house well again? Is there a Mike Holmes-type to guide the process? If there is no trust in the mind, how can that brain rely on the system or professions that are present to aid in this renovation?
It is to be discovered...
