This philosophy is why I set up a psychology service called Not The Easy Way @NotTheEasyWay1 Less time pathologising Less time reducing unwanted emotions/thoughts More time encouraging the pursuit of meaning More time broadening experiences & developing skills Follow us!
Don't tell the kids to not feel that way Don't tell the kids that you'll take the feeling away Don't set life up so that they don't feel the feeling Instead, encourage them to #DARE & go on the adventure with them! #ACT #TwitterEPs #mentalhealth

If you disagree with someone, ask questions. If you get a response, listen. If views make you uncomfortable, ask yourself why. If you start name-calling, take a breath. Don't intimidate. Don't kill. Don't celebrate their death. A good man was killed because of bigotry. RIP.
I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”

.@KonstantinKisin: “This has to be the moment when we all say, ‘Enough of your bullshit. Words are not violence. Silence is not violence. Violence is violence, and it’s completely unacceptable. And it has to end.’ ”

@Keir_Starmer With respect Prime Minister, policy should be informed by sober research, not highly emotive performance art, no matter how powerful the acting is. Here’s some incel research we conducted with support from @CommissionCE and presented to the @CommonsWEC. https://t.co/YeYN61Yup0
gov.uk
This is the largest survey of incels to-date, taken across the UK and the US. It explores their demographics, beliefs, networks and propensity to violence.

The knee-jerk reaction to a fictional series is the antithesis of our Magnificent Boys Project Demonise Assume negative intent Elevate negative role models Tell boys what to think vs Encourage strength See positive potential Elevate positive role models Explore views
Netflix's hit show Adolescence is to be shown in secondary schools, the government has confirmed. But will airing the hit series in schools go any way to tackling misogyny and violence in boys and young men?

Freedom of speech was not explicitly stated as a 'British Value' in schools when the Prevent strategy was introduced. If you only promote vague notions of tolerance and respect without the counterbalance of free speech, you end up teaching children to quietly tolerate anything.
JD Vance went to the Munich Security Conference and roasted the entire continent of Europe for being petty tyrants and criminalizing freedom of speech, including a British man arrested for praying at an abortion clinic.

"When psychologists [...] listened to the voice of the child to the exclusion of all other perspectives and evidence, when they allowed advocacy of an ideological perspective [...] to replace professional rigour and a duty of care, they failed children." https://t.co/77A7w4WSlg

Society is quick to highlight negative male role models. https://t.co/Zb30hNmkxf But what about the good ones? Who is guiding boys & young men positively? We spoke to @CostelloWilliam about his friend @ChrisWillx Who else should teenage boys be directed towards?

Discussed @CostelloWilliam incel research https://t.co/Zb30hNmkxf Incels see themselves as ineffective in romantic relationships & can be misogynistic but Do we see emotional pain in men? Do we reject men who are in pain? What does this mean for how we support teenage boys?

What's the one lesson you wanted in school but never got? 💘 https://t.co/Zb30hNmkxf
@CostelloWilliam discusses how helping young men become better partners is a laudable goal. Without it, someone else will fill that vacuum. #TwitterEPs #MentalHealth #edutwitter

We spoke to @CostelloWilliam about his incel research. Incels perceive themselves to be ineffective in romantic relationships & can engage in misogynistic behaviour. What can we learn from this group about male mental health? Video out Monday! https://t.co/4eHtLl3M2b

I signed this letter to prompt government to examine the ideological capture of organisations In psychology, the people who should have asked questions explored multiple possibilities protected Instead stopped asking followed only one possibility caused harm Why? How?

LETTER *We are ashamed of the role psychology has played *These were psychology-led services. *BPS has failed to produce guidelines for clinicians working with young people *BPS forced into making an official response now minimises its own role https://t.co/qs63T6iVo0

The @AEPsychologists emails weekly updates of all things in the news relevant to EP practice...and have yet to make any reference to the #cassreview it's about time there was a review into the practice of all Educational Psychologists in relation to gender affirming practices.

It's not enough to just point out to boys how appalling this is. We need to give them a better story. One in which they're still strong confident young men. But also young men with integrity, responsibility & virtue with something to offer the world.
Dear white men. You’re fucked. You’re being replaced because none of you have children. Even those of you bitching about the replacement online like little girls don’t find the gumption to fuck. I see white men bragging about having 5 kids as if it’s an achievement. lol.
