Thanks for clarifying 🙂
I was more concerned with being mentioned alongside the suggested treatment regimes/interventions, because I have been harmed by them, and therefore do not want to be associated with the promotion of them (by ‘them’ I refer to pain clinics, psychological services, and the resultant interventions that I have been exposed to, in Australia). I wanted to give a reason as to why I don’t want to be associated with these kinds of services/interventions, and that is why I explained my experiences (rather than briefly say something like “please do not associate me with treatment recommendations/interventions”).
I believe that to consider interventions is an intensely personal decision, and engaging in them can have significant impacts for better or worse (just like any intervention; surgery, for eg, can work well or be a disaster), so the framing and use of personal experiences in putting forward a therapy/intervention needs careful consideration 🙂
I’ve had conventional spine surgery that has not worked, and I’ve also had spine surgery that has worked but was and still is controversial - I still get criticism from a variety of medic sources for their beliefs on both sides of the ‘what works and why’ argument, in terms of their beliefs, rather than simply considering the results as drivers for future decisions in my case (I say this to illustrate how these professionals have their biases that impact on care delivery, despite knowing that not all care delivery/interventions work for everyone and to disregard outlier effects is essentially negligent in practice, because not everyone fits at top of the bell curve, or within one standard deviation of the mean).
Thanks so much for your understanding 🌺
