I think I've retweeted this before, but now I'm going to pin it because it deserves re-reading again & again! twitter.com/DoLectures/sta…

@JonathanShedler @drglennsullivan Hi @JonathanShedler are there any papers or books of Meehl's that you could point to that talk about this? I'm new to him and find this topic really interesting. Thank you.

@drglennsullivan I’d say there are 2 issues: 1-Therapy isn’t for everybody (Paul Meehl wrote about it). But agencies/health care systems/some clinicians can’t or won’t acknowledge it. 2-There’s plenty of bad therapy. Pts recognize they’re not getting something of ongoing value & are wise to leave

“More than 65% of clients end psychotherapy before the 10th session” 😱 😱 😱 This is a sickening waste of resources and a cause of long waiting lists. We need to do a better job selecting who is appropriate for therapy. Spoiler: It isn’t for everybody.

@VivGroskop I hang on to most of @JonathanShedler 's words. It's the way I aim to practice.

Beautiful thread. Optimisation to a proscribed timetable is not for humans. Leave that to AI

@TheaEuryphaessa Thanks for the inspiration - it's also very well priced as an ebook in the UK right now! :)

Enjoying this at the moment. Serendipitously crossed my path at just the right time ['kairos']. Exactly what I needed to read right now.

Nearly all problems treatable by psychotherapy are forged in the context of our relationships We wound others & are wounded by others Humans, not machines What gets broken in human relationships must be repaired in human relationships bbc.com/news/business-…

Saw this posted on LinkedIn as a leader’s recommended reading list (or something along those lines). Once again I am begging of you, please read more fiction. I promise that it will do more for you vs another productivity optimization book.

One of my favourite psychologists, James Hillman, on the need for modern-day 'heroes of descent'.

@Victoria_Spratt @theipaper It's tricky as a therapist - the pill (and Mirena) were a nightmare for me and many clients...given the lack of research on the adverse impacts, it's quite a delicate topic to navigate when the current "science" is at odds with many lived experiences.

Years of reporting on hormonal contraception after becoming v unwell while taking it and I'm still stunned that better options and, crucially, funding for research into side effects, isn't available. How I lost my mind... @theipaper inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

@poornabell Yes, I did, 6.5 years ago, London -> Margate. The reason was affordability (I’m a musician and make noise and wanted space where I could do that). Being by the sea is amazing and I’m thankful most days for it.

@jar_jar_mel This is why it blows my mind that some therapy courses don't require students to be in therapy themselves!

Everyone should read this, now.

@soundboy Terrific piece, hits many nails on the head - I hope people in power listen and take action.

Made it to the cover!

Hello @memdotai 👋 just setting up my Twitter flow. Here's my validation code: egkmGU7XIQ05m0ddedPs

@UphealAI @wesmac5 @JonathanShedler @JurajChrappa Hi @UphealAI Former techie, now therapist here. If your business were my business, I'd be training an AI on all these sessions that are being uploaded - "my" AI would therefore be much smarter for therapy than the current generalised ones. Is that your end game?

@wesmac5 @JonathanShedler No, it was written by @JurajChrappa

Are you saying you are recording and creating transcripts of client's confidential sessions and uploading them on the internet to sites you do not control?

@seemcat @dxlantxch @rayanDoesTech @akim_gue @heartofwoods @CuddleofDeath @ChrisLally @haycarlitos Done!

psst @dxlantxch @rayanDoesTech @akim_gue @heartofwoods @KitHarman @cuddleofdeath @ChrisLally @haycarlitos! because y'all were our very first supporters, y'all are def getting your free newsletter issue 🥰. but pls complete the form again - it asks new Qs to help nujen 🤓.

whoah - gm to 300+ new faces who followed me in the past 3 days! my fiancé, pets and i have been busy enjoying the holidays & getting @nujen_ai the f*ck off localhost for @_buildspace n&w s2. 🧵👇 wanna see our demo for nujen?

@rachelini99 I’m a fan of corn cakes (like rice cakes only they taste better) with almond butter and jam as an afternoon snack?

I bought myself the Bonne Maman tiny jam advent calendar because I like samplers and I like surprises. I'm not a toast for breakfast person, though, so the challenge will be finding ways to eat the jam. Suggestions welcome!

@mahlb @paulcmollitt And good luck with your journey and enjoy your studies!

@KitHarman @paulcmollitt That's super exciting! Eagerly awaiting the day when i'm fully qualified. Any suggestions for the transition or how to best prepare?

Therapists, what (if any) was your career/job before therapy? I’m curious. I’ll start: I was in musical theatre. #TherapistTwitter #therapytwitter #TherapistsConnect

@mahlb @paulcmollitt interesting q - for me I think it's something around taking time to understand your optimal working rhythms - 50 minutes with a client can feel really different energetically than 50 minutes in a meeting - we need to learn to build our weeks mindfully to avoid burnout.

@mahlb @paulcmollitt Some similarity - Musician, then a fancy business degree and plenty of startups (Ops/Prod Mg) and now a therapist.

@paulcmollitt I'm still training to become a therapist but responding anyways. I worked in finance for multiple years and now, most recently, in tech as a founder of a mental health startup.
