Dear @BACP @ncpscounselling @UKCP_Updates you say that #SCoPEd won’t affect people accessing training or paid work or marginalised groups, or EDI. Yet already we’re seeing this happen 👇🏼 The fees (not to mention privilege) to train to Doctorate level are astronomical for 1/

Super proud of my friend launching her important story into the world tonight. I’m very sad I can’t be there but very happy that our community is gathering again, this time to celebrate Sophie’s inspiring work. IDK If we keep on gathering like this it might start feeling normal!

I'm really looking forward to @TheFlyingChild book launch. Among other things we'll be discussing epistemic justice and trauma abetternhs.net/2023/12/10/epi… and the uses and abuses of diagnosis abetternhs.net/2023/10/03/dia…
I'll be presenting "Depathologising ‘mental health’ and reclaiming therapy" for @dropthedisorder a week today. I will be outlining what I call the 'humanistic-relational' paradigm of psychotherapy as a direct rival to the 'psychiatric-cognitive' paradigm. Hope to see you there.

“Disorder”? Awareness surrounding the use of language is really important for ALL professionals including regulators 🙄. Really disappointed but not all surprised @BACP 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

People who can put themselves in the place of others, who work to truly understand their perspectives, needs fears, hopes and wants, will create an infinitely deeper connection than those who meerly seek to charm, lead or impress.

The widespread pathologisation & neurofication of distress hasn't led to spontaneous collective organising against systemic causes, as some promised, but to a gradual devolution into 'me-ism', siloed identity politics, despondency & pessimism. We need more action not labels.

I often think that if the adults who saw me daily had had the words, had been less afraid themselves, I might have had a chance at a different life. The work that the @TheFlyingChild do, training and supporting influential adults is what we need to support and encourage. #CSA

Hi @DrAnnieHickox. You've unblocked me again for some reason, so I wanted to take this opportunity to genuinely support you ceasing all communication/commentary with or about harmed patients, as well as any professionals you have deemed "anti-psychiatry" (including myself)...
Today Kate and I ran the second pilot for our school-based campaign #TheBlossomTree, @RowledgePrimary in Hampshire. Their Head - Sarah Oliver, is an incredible ally and in full support of us, and of what we are aiming to achieve. We worked with the school last year and because…
Is Twitter becoming more attacking & polarising? In 2019 #AD4E was delighted to welcome @wendyburn to our Cumbria event, where we had friendly & constructive discussions about our similar/different views. Now, this is apparently the ‘unrelenting hostility’ of ‘antipsychiatry.’
Today is the 10th anniversary of my mother's death. I want to share a poem she wrote about her childhood in the slum houses of Leeds. Her name was Anne.
I'll be presenting "Depathologising ‘mental health’ and reclaiming therapy" for @dropthedisorder a week today. I will be outlining what I call the 'humanistic-relational' paradigm of psychotherapy as a direct rival to the 'psychiatric-cognitive' paradigm. Hope to see you there.
My name is Sophie. I’m a survivor of intrafamilial child sexual abuse. I’m an activist and the founder of The Flying Child CIC. I do not show my face on social media because like many survivors, the impact of CSA is long lasting. I am still at risk from the perpetrator, and…
