Unpopular opinion: the greatest threat to humanity is ourselves. Our lack of emotional maturity. Our inability to communicate effectively. How so few adults can navigate conflict with empathy. We're at war with ourselves and each other. We need healing.

The stigmatising idea that people in emotional pain may have brains (or parts of brains) that are chronically defective, imbalanced &/or disordered has become part of our zeitgeist, rendering our relationship to suffering more fatalistic, fearful, dysfunctional & tortured.

What if nothing is wrong with you. You were just raised in survival mode and have some unlearning to do. A Thread If You're Willing To Open Your Mind:

Why I am proud to be an anthropologist!

Disgusted by Dr Hilton's letter following the publishing of the named report below. In SO much support of Roshana 🦴's comments. Female doctors should not have to fight this battle, but we will.

Trauma shows up in culture as: 1. An excessive focus on achievement and external appearance. 2. Parenting as an insignificant and overlooked role. 3. Ignoring issues like financial insecurity, chronic stress, and loneliness as a root cause of disorders. 4. Urgency: an

The self-care or self-help movement flourishes on the myth that atomised isolated individuals are able to transform themselves in the absence of social, material and relational supports. And when when the project inevitably fails, it pronounces you only have yourself to blame....

Delighted to see this

Psych-diagnosis is what we call in anthropology an 'initiation ritual' into a very different social status: one where new authorities & practices can now exert power where they had no jurisdiction before, & where a new story of you is written to legitimise this arrangement.

I’m a mental health practitioner and believe we do a lot of good in helping people and families. But increasingly I feel that our societal focus on “mental health” distracts from the bigger problems of societal health. Are we being induced to look at the caring and overwhelmed

Without a psych-diagnosis, access to support is denied. The neoliberal state thus demands you accept yourself as dysfunctional before it will 'help', capturing your suffering in an ideological move where the fault is located in you rather than in your environment or unmet needs.

Our mental health sector has become 'the new opium of the people' by working to pathologise the social suffering that would otherwise galvanise people to political action - spreading an ideological sedative powerful enough to disable the human impulse for social reform. #Sedated

Grateful for the profound 3-day retreat with #MoralInjuryPartnership, where inner exploration and growth flourished. The power of sharing in a talking circle normalised experiences, creating more opportunities for connection. Immensely thankful for this transformative journey.

So grateful for this comment from one of our retreat participants this weekend. Proud to have co-founded Moral Injury Partnership and be working to support frontline workers suffering with moral injury and burnout #moralinjury #burnout #nhsstaff #MentalHealthAwareness

The solution to the NHS’s problems is simple, gimmick-free and easy. Look after the frontline, fund it properly, make it fun to work there, stand back and watch the rest fall into place. No policy shake-up required… just a wake-up to reality. myemail.constantcontact.com/Reality.html?s…

If you work in healthcare, chances are you know someone who has experienced moral injury. Moral injury is described as the wounding of people who have been forced to act in ways that they consider morally wrong. In healthcare, this might be anything from GPs prescribing over

Moral injury is becoming more prevalent in the healthcare sector. It is a specific trauma that arises when people face situations that deeply violate their conscience or threaten their core values, for example a GP having to prescribe over the phone or medics making quick
