What is crazy making? We hear about it; we stumble upon it;
we are subjected to it; and we even do it to others. But
what is it? And how do you know it when you see it?
Most often when we use the term "crazy making," we're
referring to the conduct of someone that does just that-his
or her behavior makes you crazy. You know it?s the goofy
things that people do that make you "nuts." Thus, the term
"crazy making."
Did you know there are actually three kinds of crazy making?
Innocent Crazy Making Behavior
Now sometimes this behavior can be one's innocent human
idiosyncrasies, like the way some people squeeze their
toothpaste tube. It?s the personal quirks that can be
crazy-making to other individuals.
Malicious Psychological Abuse
Or, it can be malicious behaviors intended to confuse you,
as in the case of "gas-lighting." That is telling you
something or doing something to make you think things are
different from the way you intuitively know them to be.
Abusers are very good at this malicious form of crazy
making. It's as though they enjoy casting doubt amidst your
clarity. My patients and newsletter readers frequently tell
me how their abusive partners tell them they are crazy at
the very time in which they are most sound. Or, they tell
them that situations are different from the way they see or
know them to be even when they are most certain.
Cruel, Heinous Legal-Psychiatric Abuse
Now there is another form of crazy making that has the
exact same intention, but far more serious consequences. If
you have read my writing you know what's coming. It?s the
crazy making that is more literal.
It's the crazy making in which I tell you, you are
psychiatrically and certifiably crazy. And to substantiate
my allegations, I secure the opinion of an expert crazy
diagnostician: a psychologist or psychiatrist. Thus, I
officially make you crazy.
Now if you are a domestic violence survivor, who is in
combat with an abuser using the healthcare and legal system
to discredit or silence you and your victimization, you
know this crazy making strategy.
The most important thing you can do for yourself and your
children is to make sure you do not step into the crazy
shoes because if you do, you will be wearing the crazy hat
for the rest of your life.
You can learn how to block legal-psychiatric ploys and stop
the crazy making before it defines and devastates you
indefinitely.
