Only a few forms are seen as problematic. Shame often thwarts an open exchange about experiences. "Hurting yourself" is a workbook that aims at encouraging reflection and generating awareness of various different aspects of self-injury from a non-coercive, self-compassionate, and harm reduction perspective.    read more (Source: The Icarus Project - Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness) The Icarus Project - Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5097005 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 06:25:37 +0100 5097005 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5036528&cid=t_144000_140_f&fid=34844&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheicarusproject.net%2Falternative-treatments%2Fharm-reduction-guide-to-coming-off-meds-greek-translation The Harm Reduction Guide to Coming Off Psychiatric Drugs, published by The Icarus Project and Freedom Center, is now available in Greek - thanks to the dedicated volunteer translation work of Marianna Kefallinou.You can download the Greek version here.Οδηγός Μείωσης της Βλάβης για τη Διακοπή των Ψυχιατρικών Φαρμάκων (Source: The Icarus Project - Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness) The Icarus Project - Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5036528 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:25:03 +0100 5036528 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4684710&cid=t_144000_140_f&fid=34844&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheicarusproject.net%2Fart%2Fdepression-20-words-or-less Icarus forum member maamyyrä curated a collection of writing about "depression" from this forum thread and put the words together with images.

Many of them have turned to the medical app, “Medical Encyclopedia for Home Use” — an application that offers basic first aid advice for treating medical injuries.  The developers of the app have made it free of charge due to the recent catastrophic events. The application is currently the number one downloaded free app in the Japan iTunes store, reflecting the tremendous need for continued healthcare treatment in the aftermath of the earthquake and subsequent events. The iPhone has done extremely well in Japan, with millions of Japanese users.  In the future, as smart p...

Actually, the whole website can be downloaded and played from a computer off-line, which is great if you’re wanting to access this for your personal use. The areas covered are Mental Resilience; Managing Stress, Anxiety and Depression; Healthy Relationships; and Finding Meaning in Life. While each area is dealt with quite briefly, there are loads of worksheets and MP3′s in each area. It’s that part that excites me!
