  "content": "\"To meet a double bind is not to try to solve it from any one direction. Instead, to meet a double bind is approaching it from another context, usually one not perceivable in the immediate struggle. As I mentioned above, this is not easy. The perception of the bind is loud, and it screams in polarities dragging and pulling us through binaries. The addiction is perceived as a quit/don’t quit scenario. The rent is seen as a pay/don’t pay scenario. Caregiving is seen as a care/don’t care scenario. Everything appears to underscore the stuck-ness of the double bind, creating a desperate perception trap which is the nature of double binds and why it is so hard to get free of them. The possibility of another perception is not perceivable through the clamor of existential trial.\"\nhttps://static1.squarespace.com/static/53392703e4b03f9aad10f1f5/t/64dba930d0ba22759e1bd53a/1692117298764/Nora+Bateson+Meeting+double+binds+in+the+polycrisis.pdf",
