Seclusion Reinforced Powerlessness
Reported feelings of powerlessness and understood seclusion as a punishment.
“I felt punished for having a panic attack”
“Instead of getting help, I felt punished”
Described feeling a need to ‘comply’ with health care providers, even when at risk of harm.
“They injected me with Haldol [an antipsychotic medication] even though they knew that I was allergic to it, because I told them that like 80,000 times already – and I woke up two days later with dystonia”
