@HartleySamantha @beth_1day I am reading (listening) self-therapy by Jane Earley at the mo. It’s a very clear and accessible guide to opening dialogue with our many inner parts, and includes meditations for wounded parts x

@FionaMelding @GMMH_NHS @sharonm02447491 @SimonGloverRMHN They are very lucky to have you, Fiona. Making space for our experience and feelings is so invaluable in helping us navigate this very difficult terrain we find ourselves in.

We are going to allocate 30 mins each day to share our thoughts together to have some fun to keep ourselves positive What are other inpatient wards doing out there to manage these fears @GMMH_NHS @sharonm02447491 @SimonGloverRMHN 🤔

My team tell me today they are scared they are worried and anxious they come into work whilst others are sent to work from home So proud of my team that they can be open and honest , share their fears and seek support from myself and each other

@RaiWaddingham @MadCovid Hi Rai, we have put together a load of resources where I work. Please, DM me your contact details and I’ll send them over to you. Maria

Am helping @MadCovid collate resources for their site ... thought I’d twitter-source (after wading thru the obvious ones). Any sites, pages, resources you’d recommend for #MadCovidDiaries site? Things that could help us survive this maddening time? #madtwitter Thanks 🙏

@Randall_JAC Some trainees offer therapy, usually to two clients at a time, to a nearby psychotherapy service in exchange of supervision. You could also ask your employer to give you the time to attend teaching (10 days per yr). Good luck!

I’m going to keep submitting a request to work every year until they give in... wish me luck! 😆

Welcome to the Café CAT twitter account from Catalyse! Our next Café CAT meeting is likely to be in April at our lovely venue, HOME in Manchester with the topic of Eating Disorders... All welcome - more details coming soon - pls share :) #cognitiveanalytictherapy

“I think I see voices as dandelions, a force of life or nature coming out of the asphalt in the streets and the cement in courtyards... little bright miracles breaking through our attempts to control everything... they reach out to us to tell us about things we lost touch with..”
