Warp & Weft: Psycho-emotional health, politics and experiences

Warp & Weft gathers together ideas, radical frameworks and reference points to explore consciousness, and ways of understanding experiences of distress as they occur within our social and systemic contexts.

It looks at what gets called ‘mental health’ and challenges the idea that our experiences of distress, struggle or variable consciousness are only ‘mental’. It challenges the way biomedicine splits mind from body and soul, and names that we are embodied beings, who are shaped by and unfold within the contexts we have inherited and live in.

It looks at some of the history of psychiatry and examines the ways it has been, and continues to be used as a colonial force. It reframes trauma; it looks at the effects of trauma in the bodymindsoul, acknowledges the intersection of personal and collective trauma, and explores ways we might move towards healing.

Warp & Weft considers how we are given cultural ‘scripts’ for experience, and how we might relanguage experience on our own, and non-medical terms. Terms which address root causes of distress and point towards holistic approaches, in order to foster liberatory personal and collective transformation. ... more

This is an audio recording of the book Warp & Weft; Psycho-emotional health, politics and experiences.

For more information, and ways to order the book/ access the free pdf and futher online resources: threadsbook.org

This audio recording of Warp & Weft was made during 2022/23. Massive thanks Marix Leahy, Angela Hindhaugh and Jer Reid for encouragement, the loan of recording equipment, and post production work. Whilst I had folks to lend from and lean into, these recordings made in my wardrobe (the quietest place in the flat) are DIY and any shortcomings in the recording, reading variability and editing are mine as I did my best and learned on the job.

Where there is a direct citation from someone else’s work in the book I have named them/the source. I chose not to break the flow by saying where every quote came from (as is found in the footnotes at the bottom of each page in the book). In those instances I simply referenced that what follows is a quote, to differentiate it from my own writing. If you want to know where any specific quotes that aren’t explicitly referenced come from, please check the relevant short section heading in the book or in the free pdf online (which can be audio accessed through text to speech programmes) to find corresponding footnotes.
