The word “psychopathology” comes from the Greek and has to do with the “teachings of the suffering of the soul”. We often may think of psychopathology as bad or wrong. We may want to disengage and remain distant from the idea that we might carry psychopathology. But, if we are human, what is undeniable is that we have suffering of the soul. It does not mean that we have a diagnosable condition, which is also just a description to help us conceptualize the reactive form our suffering has taken. Diagnosable or not, suffering and its’ expression is real. Rather than feel shame, may we each feel a sense of self acceptance and acceptance for others for the ways in which suffering of the soul has shown up in our lives. May you be at ease, may you be well, may you find comfort.
