Psychotherapist G.Roy Bristol Challenges the Concept of Freedom in New Release, "Mentally Incarcerated"

"True freedom is not the ability to choose between a few pre-packaged options; it is the radical reclamation of the mind from the invisible structures that define our very reality," [https://www.amazon.com/Mentally-Incarcerated-Insanity-Glenroy-Bristol-ebook/dp/B0GH2WYGSF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3U9AEIK6U3HGQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A1BXsqXSZQsg3Hu4eJbhIDnp5huaIsWTzwMQldNAaF3cDvq_GPejbCw2Rvy9muXR.rT1BeqGqcYH7Z4P8clAkUETrBi53s3D8hMbS4R7No6o&dib_tag=se&keywords=Books+by+Glenroy+bristol&qid=1769031006&s=books&sprefix=books+by+glenroy+brist%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C541&sr=1-1]says G.Roy Bristol.

G.Roy Bristol is an experienced psychotherapist with a clinical practice of more than 20 years. Over the years, he has been a guide for many people through the intricate path of the human mind. He is residing in the US but his main area of concentration is where psychology, philosophy, and society coalesce. In his daring new book, Mentally Incarcerated: The Insanity Of Humanity, he uses his 20 years of professional experience to investigate the ways people turn into captives of their minds and how they can be liberated to finally have a mental self-determination.

The Invisible Prisons of the Modern Mind

In Mentally Incarcerated , G.Roy Bristol challenges the traditional understanding of what it means to be a free individual in modern society. He argues that while physical chains are easy to identify, the most restrictive prisons are those constructed from unexamined ideas, habits, and societal expectations that feel so "normal" they become invisible.

"The most effective cage is the one you don't even know you're in," Bristol notes. The book explores how humans often mistake the presence of choices for the existence of freedom. According to Bristol, choosing between paths defined by others is merely a more comfortable form of captivity. Mentally Incarcerated is a call for people who think in the right direction but still have a feeling of discomfort to open their eyes.

Rethinking the Unhealthy Patterns of Thought

One of the major ideas in the literature is that of the inherited patterns of thought. From a young age, individuals absorb meanings from family, culture, and institutions. These frameworks eventually become so deeply embedded that they are experienced as personal convictions rather than external impositions.

Bristol details how these patterns are reinforced by fear specifically the fear of isolation and the fear of being wrong. Bristol puts it this way: "Our psychological chains are very hard to break but we do not want to do it anyway since they give us feeling of belonging and a protection against the uncertainty of life." The book, by exposing these "hereditary prisons," grants the readers the insight necessary to separate their true identities from the parts they were told to perform.

Moving from Awareness to Authentic Mental Agency

Unlike many self-help books that focus solely on "mindfulness" or "awareness," Mentally Incarcerated makes a sharp distinction between seeing a pattern and changing it. Bristol asserts that awareness is only the first step; true freedom is a behavioral practice that requires ongoing responsibility.

The book provides a deep dive into the internal "guards" of the mind, such as:

- The Ego as a Guardian: Comprehending the operation of the inner self-image that maintains us in safe, foreseeable limits.

- Self-Deception and Rationalization: Identifying the psychological "glue" that hinders us from recognizing our imprisonment.

- The Addiction to Distraction: Exploring the way the contemporary "attention economy" obstructs the profound contemplation that is indispensable for freedom.

"Freedom is not a destination you reach and then stop; it is the daily, often uncomfortable practice of existing without the protection of a rigid, pre-defined identity," says Bristol.
