In this post, I’m delving into a concept that has been on my mind for the past few months. I call this concept “diagnosis identity,” and it’s about the nature of the human condition, the role of suffering in our lives, and how we navigate it. It’s about what we choose to do with suffering and illness, and a call to rise above our suffering, learn from it, and ultimately not allow it to take over our lives and become a part of our identity.
In this piece, we’ll explore:
Why suffering is both inevitable and potentially transformative
The difference between trauma and the normal struggles of life
The cultural trend of over-identifying with a diagnosis and how it can become an obstacle to healing
The alchemical idea of transforming poison into medicine
A vitalist approach to healing through strength, forgiveness, and meaning
How practitioners can spot “stuck” cases and support deeper transformation
