Please help NSPCC to fund this work supporting children who are scared or worried to speak out so they can be helped or protected. I'm running the TCS London Marathon for the NSPCC. Anything you can spare would really help them. uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-dis…

Today is the start of Children’s Mental Health Week 2020. These shoes represent the 226 schoolchildren who lost their life to suicide in 2017 in the UK - a pair for each school child 😞❤️ Thank you to Chasing the Stigma for this powerful photo. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

When I first went to #MentalHealth services, I wondered if my past abuse was causing my distress. I was too scared to name it. But I thought, if it really mattered, someone would ask. They never did. That cost me 9yrs of life. Don’t be like my clinicians. Ask about #trauma.

This thread is worth a read. And if this, the last tweet, isn't a call for change I dont know what is. Psychiatry, and all mental health professions, need to recognize the potential for iateogenic harm, in what is meant to help, to reduce re/traumatizing people. #traumainformed

Looking forward to the lived experience connectors workshop today with the lovely cathy walsh Hoping to enhance our Psychological medicine service for clients in Pennine Care NHS FT by working alongside people with lived experience. #LECeventLeeds

NHS cleaning staff rarely receive any praise But they do an incredibly important job and will help save many lives over the coming weeks, so please spare a RT for all of them

Well said. When I got *that* email from #LondonMarathon I was devastated. But then I thought, more time to train and particularly to fund raise. I will run on 4 Oct, and everything we raise for NSPCC will be even more special. uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-dis…

And here it comes... pathologising human distress from #covid19. Paul Daley at The Guardian says we face a "pandemic of severe mental disorders" & "psychiatric support services will need to be dramatically bolstered": tinyurl.com/vud7rjv I say "Nooooooo!" Read on... (a thread)

In press!! Faye Didymus and colleagues discuss the application of four psychotherapeutic approaches (#REBT, CT, ST, and ACT) to a hypothetical #sport #psychology case. This paper makes for a helpful read for MSc. students and trainee practitioners! tinyurl.com/ybdnonke

What’s the Matter With Tony? 'We'd do better to ask what's the matter with powerful people who abuse, with institutions that sanction it, and with a world that doesn't want to know and delegates the job of concealing atrocities to the mental health system' madintheuk.com/2020/05/whats-…

Hello. Democratic therapeutic community people. If you have been in a DTC and now left Adam Pitt would love to hear from you for his research into belongingness in DTCs.

Sad I wont be running the #LondonMarathon on Oct 4th but Eliud Kipchoge has some lovely and encouraging words, as always. I'll be there on Oct 3rd 2021 so nothing lost, just longer to wait. Time to recover from injuries... get injured and recover again!!
