Lovely lunch and gorgeous catch up with the fab Lisa Cherry

Got to meet one of the greats today, Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist, finally, after being blown away by her TEDx and poignant, human work so many years ago. Thank you for being awesome, 'seeing' us and being #humanfirst 🙏💜

.Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist sharing the most powerful human phrase 'Every moment and interaction can be an intervention' 💥💜

.Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist talking about the collective dysregulated nervous system of the world right now. We're in a quick fix society - more for less, outcomes not process. All of this creates massive burnout and fatigue. How can we be *mindful* rather than having our *minds full*. 💜

.Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist explains that for us to be able to co-regulate, we need to take wellbeing seriously. Being seen and heard is key for every human. 💜

'You don't have to be a therapist to be therapeutic', Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist reminding us that we don't need to go on a trauma dig to support someone - we just need to think carefully and humanly about what imprint we leave 💜

No one should be defined by a label 'behaviour', 'trauma', 'their experience'. See beyond that, see the individual. 'Relational trauma requires relational repair' Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist 🙏💜

.Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist sharing the cumulative nature of othering in society (graphic by Missing The Mark). How that makes you feel, how that wears you down. And how you can be part of the healing - with every human interaction. 💜

. Dr Karen Treisman, MBE, Clinical Psychologist sharing why it is so important we remain curious, not furious, and a reminder to see and connect with the person behind the 'behaviour'. Ensuring our perspective about the 'why' is wide and humanised. 💜

On my way to Sheffield shortly for a 3 day event (2 days as a large scale event and day 3 with a small group for a thinking space and embedding the learning). This has been a long time coming so v much looking forward to being with everyone!

Day 1/3 today with a fab group of people working with young people across Sheffield. Brilliant venue and so much thought into making it a sensory and regulating experience. Whole focus on our own wellbeing, regulation, reflection & more.

I absolutely loved being with you all! I was humbled by some of the reflections and commitments. And inspired and energised by some of the buzz. So much thought gone into every aspect and so appreciated. A few bits people said- “I feel empowered and not a statistic in this room”,

That’s a wrap- an amazing, emotive, powerful, thought provoking, inspiring, exhausting 3 days focusing on our own reflection, wellbeing and regulation

So much of my mind & heart this week has been thinking about the violent murder of Rebecca Cheptegei & of the horrific rape, objectification, dehumanisation, violation, betrayal, abuse & far more experienced by Gisele Pelicot. And these are the ones which get reported… these are
