When healthy people get ill its completely normal for them-you-to slip out of society. Friends slowly evaporate, ppl start questioning if you’re entitled to that Blue Badge or those benefits. Too late. You didn’t care about the media narrative and now no one cares about you.
Because of the misinformation by politicians and the media about the rates of benefit and ‘how easy’ it is to get them, people are usually shocked when through illness, disability or unemployment they suddenly have to rely on it and they realise how woefully inadequate it is.

@MarkLRuffalo Not everyone was so moved. The New Yorker suggested he may have ‘unintentionally blurred some details.’

@MarkLRuffalo From the earliest settled communities it was ever thus. Aggression, restlessness and charisma have very different names when they’re not associated with ‘leaders.’

@BeReasonable01 @BadreNicolas It is & IMO requires therapists to have a basic knowledge of philosophy & theology, not to be cleverclever but to know that there are 0 unasked questions & many responses some of which can illuminate understanding. Genuine therapy avoids answers & is comfortable with not knowing.

@TweetATherapist I charged, not least because my focus was not on rules but on the meaning of the frame, the relationship, clients expectations of quantity over quality, their genuine constraints & agency-why choose this?-both of our responsibilities. It took 15 mins I got paid for 50, of course.

@duffett_claire @Shrink_at_Large @leicesterliz Yes. The entire concept of 'work' has been reduced to a moral crusade on one hand and 'entrepreneurial' gouging on the other. For many ppl meaningful activity is healing, not creating income for oneself or for others.

If our physical health is a bit wonky no amount of therapy is going to meaningfully help. It's almost always useful to get baseline bloods done in the first few weeks of work so both client and we know we're working with a basic level of health.
The correlation between vitamin D deficiency and suicide risk is intriguing. While the Nutrient study suggests that 58% of individuals who attempted suicide were vitamin D deficient, it raises important questions about causation versus association. #healthcare

@ProfLAppleby Blaming & punishing a senior person would make all clinicians engage with something other than despair. I left the NHS 30 years ago bc martyrdom was causing harm. We've been moaning about this since 80's Care In The Community when striking for actual care would have saved lives.
