Actually (speaking from my own experience) This is my perception of what I
see in my life.)
Although pain, spasm are not caused by social it is aggravated by it.
There is a cycle;
You have pain your force to hide it when you're in public and alone (value
of self-control) see Wendell S. . 1989
For those of us who grew up in rehabilitation mode its an inherited or embed
value. (whichever, it is); it causes more pain. If you have any form of
spasticity, tremblers or whatever, these come on too. The more you try to
control the greater everything gets. Self -control is social and it is
political ever-tried not to control?
This more often than not ends up with making you center of unwanted
attention "objectification" or object of unwanted advice.
I'm always asking. For me when is impairment physiological \\
psychological in every sense not political?
