Inside-Inside
  • We physically enter the institution and at first
    it seems strange and alien
  • However, slowly the institution creeps inside of
    us - its routines, emphasis on conformity,
    letting others make decisions for us
  • The voice of self is submerged and the voice of
    the professional other becomes our reference
    point

13
Inside-Outside
  • At some point we catch a glimpse of a new
    possibility for ourselves outside of the
    institution
  • We are still physically inside the institution,
    but our soul soars for a moment outside of the
    institution.
  • For some people this comes in a sudden moment of
    insight. For others it comes more gradually

14
Outside-Inside
  • As people approach discharge they sometimes grow
    afraid of the very thing they long for. They have
    become dependent on the very thing they wanted to
    escape.
  • People leave the hospital physically, but inside
    they are still acting and thinking as if they are
    in a hospital. They look to others to make them
    well.

15
Outside-Outside
  • We eventually live outside of the hospital and we
    also eject the internalized hospital
  • We discover our voice and our choice. We begin to
    trust ourselves. We begin to look to ourselves
    for direction. We learn who we can depend on. We
    develop relationships with peers and friends. We
    have the supports we need.
