My regular reminder that to have the โmubble fubblesโ (16th century) is to experience a bout of melancholy such as the Sunday evening blues, combined with a vague sense of impending doom.

Just a reminder if a patient tells you they are feeling suicidal this is a GOOD thing, a BRAVE thing, a thing we are LITERALLY TOLD TO DO. So please don't frame it as manipulation or attention-seeking either overtly or in micro-tells of disbelief.

Expert explains.
"Elevated inflammation levels also mean that women with endometriosis may be more likely to experience worse symptoms during infections."

If you are a professional ally of #StopSIM please sign this open letter to @NHSEngland asking for the publication of the @StopSIMMH co-produced policy. Lots of signatures from social workers, academics, and trainee clinical psychologists. Where are the nurses and psychiatrists?
25 Mar 2023
Last push for signatories for this open letter in support of #StopSIM before we send it to NHS England.
Stop the criminalisation of people in acute mental distress who should not pay with their rights and wellbeing for service and policy failings.

RT @CatalyseC: #OpenAccess #PsychologicalTherapy for #SelfHarm
HT @PJTaylorClinPsy @HartleySamantha & colleagues
ALT Screenshot of practitioner points from open access article: Trust & the therapeutic relationship is key within self-harm interventions. Client-led therapy & collaboration promote empowerment. Perceived success in therapy is unique & not measured by self-harm reduction. Self-harm should be accepted & viewed as an expression of distress.

Creating the conditions for ill health by denying minimum income for a healthy life. It is government policy that people who need benefits, Universal Credit, will have only 70% of the money they need to live healthily.
27 Feb 2023
From April, Universal Credit will be set at ยฃ85 a week for a single adult, but thereโs a significant gap between this and living costs. Our research shows that in order to cover the essentials, it must be increased to at least ยฃ120 a week. jrf.org.uk/report/guarantee-โฆ

The free book Autistic Community and the Neurodiversity Movement has been accessed 700k times! Thank you to the contributors and readers. It was difficult and came at personal sacrifice to edit the book alone. So grateful many have enjoyed it.

My student is conducting a scoping review on autistic wellbeing. Of the >3500 papers we screened, most take measures of wellbeing of the PARENT/CARER. Not the autistic person. That tells you all you need to know about most traditional autism research.

School Absence Laws are harming our young people.
Yesterday I talked to a group of child therapists about trauma and neurodiversity. Spontaneously, they brought up the effect of government attendance policies on the young people they work with. Here's why we need change. 1/
