What is mental health and how can a
person overcome mental illness? Marilyn Redmond details the "how" to move
through the process of returning to sanity. Through her experience, strength
and optimism she explains the steps she used to bring her a new lifestyle and
happiness. She talks about this on her video at You Tube titled, On Steps to Understanding Mental Health. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRxaoRWMEnc
Growing up in mental illness and not understanding what it was
about, she did not let the label of Bipolar Disorder stop her from outgrowing
the definition and keeping her in that box. She knows you do not have to let a diagnosis
be a lifetime sentence.
Through her many counseling sessions, 12 step groups,
and classes to learn healthy behaviors, she has learned that she did not have
to compensate for what is missing in her life and act out her irrationality to
life situation. Her family could not provide the modeling to grow up. She needed
to find those answers on her own. When she heard it was a disease of no talk, no
trust, and no feelings, immediately, she felt she had the answers to move
beyond her past of being a secret.
When leaving treatment for addictions she continued
replacing the prescriptions and alcohol with a daily spiritual program as suggested
by the 12 step programs. Stopping all drinking and medications was difficult
but brought her a rational mind to make rational decisions. She found that the
toxic substances stopped her feelings, and emotional growth. Being sane and
sober brought better results into her life as she lived the steps into sanity.
Replacing a daily spiritual program for the
medications, made the difference. She could move forward out of her past trauma
and reacting into responding in love to the challenges of life. Learning life
skills, communication tools, and how to handle feelings now that it was safe to
feel, were major lessons into reality.
With complete honesty and releasing all secrets about
her own abuse, brought freedom to move from being a fearful victim into leaving
the past behind with forgiveness. The past did not have to be relived in the old
fearful survival of her growing up years. Learning healthy behaviors and
outgrowing her co-dependency was a victory.
After reading the book, People of the Lie", by
Dr. Scot Peck, she understood her mother's paranoid schizophrenia. Her mother
could not be totally honest about her own abuse in her childhood and growing
up, which included abandonment, sexual abuse, attempt by relatives to kill her,
and ending up in a orphanage while her mother was sick. Marilyn took on many symptoms
of her mother and found she needed to heal these emotional energies, too. This
total cleaning out the old for living in the present, she calls the roto-rooter
system.
In finding a spiritual trust in a loving universe,
cleaning out her past harms, and being of service to others has brought a new
life of living in joy, gratitude and the presence of love. Her Higher Power supports
her in all things which allowed her to mature. She knows that love never fails
and finding that love within her heart has become the foundation for a healthy
life.
This
information is detailed in her book, "Paradigm Busters - Reveal The Real
You" at Amazon.com. It
took Marilyn 25 years to write this book as she was growing into being a grown
up. It has been an adventure to move out of the box of insanity into a world
where all is good. Her other books at Amazon offer tools to include in the
process of recovery.
