Trauma manifests and takes on various forms; the result of trauma is not a character flaw. It is a response that can be treated with compassion and empathy. #trauma #healing
What if we took ALL the money currently poured into ‘PD’ services and spent it on creating something totally removed from the PD construct. Something that acknowledges the trauma and harm of living in oppressive, victim blaming, neurotypical, neoliberal societies. Imagine.
We do NOT support the rebranding of EUPD AND BPD to #ComplexEmotionalNeeds You can’t polish a turd 💩
The PD industrial complex seems to have realised that things are moving towards a trauma-informed approach and is NOW trying to rebrand as some kind of trauma pathway. You can’t be trauma informed if you’re also telling people that they are responsible for their own distress.

What if we listened to pain instead of risk? emmaontheedgeblog.wordpress.com/2020/09/23/exa…
Supportiveness is defined by the supportee, not the supporter. It's not supportive to make others miserable, however good your intentions. You don't get to beat someone round the head whilst telling them "This is supportive!" Why not try asking & adapting?
When. When. When. #TraumaNotPD

‘No intervention that takes power away from the survivor can possibly foster her recovery; no matter how much it appears to be in her immediate best interest’. Judith Herman (1998)
So true. So often we fail to acknowledge the contexts within which people exist.
People who stuggle with their mental health when living with poverty, abuse and discrimination are not lacking in resilience, they're lacking in social justice.
Today I'm placing no expectation on myself or what I do. It's a day to do whatever I want (or lack of) and not feel any kind of way about it. It's my day to simply exist and nothing more. Your existence is enough, make sure to rest (however that looks to you). #mentalhealth
Everything is a reaction to or a reflection of an experience. Nothing exists without reason. #trauma #healing #mentalhealth
If we want something beautiful to grow, we have to create the conditions that will allow it to develop.
Our thoughts and behaviour are a reflection of our conditioning, experiences and environment. Don't get lost in the words "disorder" and "trait". Both imply permanence and permanence doesn't exist. #trauma #diagnonsense
"We should be cautious not to confuse the trees for the forest - the manifestation of the underlying process, the symptom of the cause" - @DrGaborMate #gabormate #hungryghosts
When someone is struggling, it's more important to create space for that person to feel heard which is created through active listening (not giving feedback or sharing your own story), and asking questions rather than giving advice and/or your opinion. #mentalhealth
