ABSTRACT
Dynamics can instead be seen as the verbs of wellbeing. The verbs of wellbeing also include expectations, decisions, desires and dreams and the physiological processes of feedback, regulation, inflammation, allostasis and homeostasis. A focus on the nouns of disorder – the observable political and community structures, costs, categories, diagnoses, organs, lesions, microbes, cellular receptors and DNA – has created a particular grammar of the health care system. These dynamics are names for verbs of wellbeing. Internal family systems, ego-state, hypnotherapy and self-compassion literature clarify the importance to wellbeing of intrapsychic processes of connection and attention. As well as maintaining awareness of breadth of the whole person in their relationships and context (sense of safety domains), practitioners also need to maintain awareness of dynamics that can build or destroy wellbeing. Dynamic complex processes are therefore simplified and named in a way that presents them as objects, as things, as real entities.
