I don’t use the phrase or acronym ‘PTSD’ because I don’t believe that post trauma responses are a mental disorder.

Being traumatised by an event or series of events isn’t a disordered response, it’s a normal response.

You see how normal responses have been recast as madness?

[Dr. Jessica Taylor @DrJessTaylor]

Excited today!

We begin training new staff teams for NHS pilot in which we are working together to create an alternative to CAMHS.

A new children’s trauma service with no diagnosis, no meds and no pathologising.

Very proud that @Victim_Focus are part of this systemic change.

Just 💜 this! I'm really interested in the theme of voice in my work, particularly with how those who may not use theirs in the conventional way can still express & be heard. I was so intrigued to discover in practice the beautiful paradox described in this post 🥰#silentapproach

[Anna Sharpe-Jones @AnnaSharpeJones]

@HailstonesSarah @DoorsSeparate @DerbyTheatre Oh wow I LOVE that! That's going up on a post-it lol. I've been reading an incredible book by Florence Given called 'Women Don't Owe You Pretty' with all this sentiment and heaps more. Thoroughly recommend! 👌

@DoorsSeparate It's been beautiful & full of soul. Invaluable for my practice, thank you for being so generous to have open doors 💜

[Anna Sharpe-Jones @AnnaSharpeJones]

The past couple of days have been so absorbing, full of focus and positive questioning of conventional processes. It has been phenomenal to bear witness to The Silent Approach in action; accessibility in a whole new light 💡
