It's a beautiful day to recognize you're enough.

gofundme.com/f/frontline19?… I’m working gratis with this group of therapists to give psychological support to frontline NHS staff. Please donate if you can, & please RT :-)

@LIVEpositivity Smiling while I’m driving. Not a big grin 😁 as that might creep other drivers out but a little smile really lifts my mood ☺️

What’s a simple habit you practice daily that helps you stay positive?

@ItsJBThree 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

Please remind your babies (aged 2-22) that their bodies are theirs and that any contact that has not been requested or permissive is not ok! Also if your child’s behaviour changes, see if you can try to read between the lines, it’s not easy and of course we don’t want to see #try

@AlsJane_therapy I think this is a great way to prevent getting depressed but it’s backward to think this is an activity prescription

Using the expression..... "Everyone is a little autistic" Dismisses and diminishes the realities and struggles a autistic person experiences in their daily lives .

@LIVEpositivity 😂😂😂😂

Search your name in the gif bar and share what pops up! Ready? Go!

@YoungMindsUK The chance of your existence are zero. Which means you are AMAZING!!! You are so special and your place here on earth is to do with as you wish. Don’t want others to make you feel good. Do it for yourself as you 100% deserve it!!!

If you could say one thing to help someone who is struggling right now, what would you say?

6 ways to become a better listener: 1. Look people in the eye 2. Wait until the other person is truly done speaking before you respond 3. Watch for nonverbal cues 4. Ask open-ended & follow-up questions 5. Make space for reflection 6. Notice your listening/speaking ratio

@Chescamarina Discussed getting a cat with a client this week 🙌🏻 cats are the best therapist as they don’t talk, and the benefits of physical contact are wonderful 😃

A Marriage isn’t just a pair of rings. It’s a vow to trust and always stand by your partner. It’s a friendship that lasts forever.

@adamfare1996 I’ll continue wearing one too as I don’t get colds anymore as a result 🙌🏻 totally worth it form a raised eyebrow off someone who’s opinion is none of my business 🙌🏻

@RossMatthewGat2 By modelling I mean adults ensuring they act on this so that children see it in their every day, then it becomes normative. Similar to, it’s not enough to not be racist we need to be anti racist, we need to be anti discriminatory outwardly. Enjoy your break 🙌🏻

@RossMatthewGat2 I think I agree with everything 🤔 was a little confused when you started with, I don’t require Harry Canes support, abs then ended ok thanking him for it. Education and modelling is paramount, those who support need to be open, not sit back feeling they’re ok, no passivity!

@ahmedhankir Amazing 😊 👏🏻👏🏻 absorb ALL of that 🙌🏻

It's touches the heart when you are asked to give a talk at an inner city school in London about a career in psychiatry & the headmaster emails saying many students attended an online widening access to medicine event that I spoke at in the past & the school can't wait to meet me

TW: Suicide Even if a person has felt suicidal 10 times or 100 times or 1,000 times, you got to believe them. Feeling suicidal doesn't work in a way that the more times a person experiences it, the less likely it is believable. #mentalhealth #mentalillness

Never take for granted being able to have a peaceful moment to yourself first thing in the morning & to having some 'me time' to declutter your mind...

@ItsEmilyKaty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳 amazing!

Next week I start my elective placement in CAMHS and I am SO excited. This is my first CAMHS placement and I can’t wait to work with young people, as CAMHS is where I want to work when I qualify! Only a year to go until then and I can’t wait. 🎉

@ZJAyres @ameenalpayne But then ask yourself which nerve it has hit, always great to learn something. Be kind to yourself x
