What would the world look like if girls were taught they were volcanoes, whose eruptions were a thing of beauty, a power to behold and a force not to be trifled with? I look at the importance of nurturing the pilot light of anger all girls are born with. feministgiant.com/p/how-much…

It is extraordinary that people have come to accept an economic system where you have to be rich simply to afford decent housing—something that can and should be a basic public good.

When you construct the rules in order to lock members out of the decision-making process or dilute their power in the political organisation they volunteer their time & energy to (& to get you elected), it shows what contempt there is for the members in the 1st place, doesn’t it?

Trainee therapists - we’re doing a little research. Can we ask how much it is costing you to train to be a therapist inc. course fees, therapy/supervision costs, etc? What impact does the cost of training have on your life? Ty ❤️ #therapistsconnect @PcuTrainee @PCSRuk @pcp_uk

Many clinical psychologists in our study believed that psychosis can be transformative in a broad sense, leading to post‐traumatic growth. Some went further, believing that it can be a purposeful or even a spiritual phenomenon. Open Access version here: repository.canterbury.ac.uk/…

I shared my story with the @prof_standards and they listened. They then asked the organisation to make changes to the complaints procedures they use! #beheard

Don't @NHSEngland and @BPSOfficial know this? The #IAPT model is currently being expanded to include more wellbeing practitioners instead of registered counsellors/psychotherapists? People are asking to see registered counsellors and can't get to see one
Wellbeing classes do not improve workers’ mental health, research suggests peoplemanagement.co.uk/news/… #peoplemanagement
NHS mental health therapists pressurised to exaggerate success rates, expert claims - good work from Elizabeth Cotton. We have to end the IAPT scam. independent.co.uk/news/healt…

Here’s what @BACP pay their staff. 1 employee on over £130k per year, 7 others on £60-£110k plus. £5,000,000 wage bill (paid for by £7mil in member fees) for 114 staff averages £40k per year. Average salary of counsellor = £10k. No wonder member fees are so high.

Replying to @BACP @j987xyz
It is misleading to suggest that is the only editing BACP does - they had @drpeterblundell change 'will' to 'may' in their resolution, changing the meaning entirely. Whose interests was this to serve? xitter.gq/drpeterblundell/status…
I have submitted, along with Rhianna Broadway, a resolution (resolution 6) calling for an independent impact assessment of SCoPEd for the @BACP AGM, details of why and my experience of that process can be found here - youtu.be/qLTtId186z8 #TherapistsConnect
