Listening to the 1st episode of the podcast #nurturevsnurture and was horrified at the host's insinuation that the little girl would develop BPD if the father kept giving her the attention she wanted at bed time. More nuanced than that, but barely. The host is a clinical psych.

There is a disclaimer at begining of show including about not giving diagnoses, but her suggestion about the little girl developing borderline personality disorder based on this was clear as day and totally unjustified. Incredibly disappointing. #nurturevsnurture

This is for those mental health providers who think "What happened to you?" is a dumb question.

"One of the first things that struck me when I entered mental health services was how little interest staff took in me describing my experiences or how I felt."

Things which get my back up:
- being told someone "refused to engage" did you ask them why? Did YOU try to engage them? Is this the right Tx for them?
- being told someone "has capacity" but this not being decision specific, or, impact of MH on decision making being ignored.

If your training on ‘trauma informed care’, self-harm, suicidality or diagnosis specific trainings aren’t co-produced (properly, not the NHS tick box version of co-pro) and (bare minimum) co-facilitated by someone with lived experience, stop delivering it.

If there are insufficient resources to offer the support the proffessional believes would benefit the client, tell the client.

As a service user (past or present) what message do psych-professionals need to hear?

It is possible to be happy about a diagnosis
I'm not happy about the fact I have a severe and enduring mental illness
I am however, happy I have an explanation for it. A validity. A word to describe why things are so hard sometimes
So yes, you can be happy about a diagnosis

You can self-refer to a free 6-week course of supported-self help for depression, anxiety, grief and more at @CStaywell (Fridays).
Based on CBT but (I think) less rigid.
Practitioner is very 'human', non-judgemental, & seems to 'get it'.

If I feel I am too busy to take a break, this is when I most need to prioritise taking one.

Tbf gotta respect the BBC kicking off mental health awareness week with "you lot are all scammers"
Really nailing their colours to the mast on that one.
