"My membership body says I have to" "my supervisor says no" "I was trained this way" These are all cop-outs! We are responsible for our own ethical decision making. It's not enough to disown our power and tell a client that some invisible power is responsible for our actions.

Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be.

Of course, you can’t force your mind to be silent. That will be like trying to smooth ripples in water over the flat iron. Water becomes clear and calm only when left alone.

252 comments of support and counting @BACP - You must address these concerns at your AGM this week. To do otherwise would be a betrayal of your members, and everyone counting on our collective professional candour.

It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you. Nobody wants you to do what you want to do. They want you to go on their trip, but you can do what you want. I did. I went into the woods & read for five years. ~Joseph Campbell

Nobody crosses the channel in a dinghy unless they are utterly desperate. We must make the moral case for a humane asylum system grounded in dignity, empathy and care. The only way we can defeat a politics of hatred is with a politics of compassion.

“Stop the Boats” is just the UK’s version of “Build The Wall” isn’t it?

I don't like the subtle and overt dismissals of ADHD in trauma circles as if neurodiversity wasn't an actual, literal thing. Yes executive dysfunction, attention difficulties, hyperactivity and so on can be trauma sequelae - but they can also NOT be. We can hold the both.

My son wrote an essay about how much he hates mayonnaise, and it begins, "As a scribe I see fit to write down all my troubles" and ends "I fell to the ground and moaned for the next few hours, lying in the moonlight wishing to die."
