@normanlamb - its good to hear that Norman is pushing for us to think about the impact of Covid is having on our mental health. The International Attachment Network, a charity formed to promote Bowlby's theory are keen to help with this.

How very English of me to put everyone else first! To find my self so low that I don’t exist other than as a hollow robot ghost, built to serve the others, and worry. Slipping further into isolation in a lonely chair. Left alone with ever darker thoughts.

What can be done?

[Dr Jonathan Lloyd @Calmlloyd]

I sometimes fear turning into Donald Trump. To suddenly switch from the consummate people-pleaser to the self-wrapped narcissist. Poor Donald.

[Dr Jonathan Lloyd @Calmlloyd]

The more I want to be someone (or something) else, the more I want to move away from my whole-Self/core/soul. The more anxious I feel. 

The more alien self-love sounds, the more I need it!

We are never going to help with the #mentalhealth tsunami until we deal with all the underlying human issues, the huge stresses at school, uni, work and in social media. 6 CBT sessions after 9 months doesn't cut it!!!

@campbellclaret @Channel4News Like his American cousin, the Donald, he has no shame.

@pankhurstplayers @edfringe offer a fresh twist on Shakespeare's taming of the shrew. Through the feminist lens this story isnt funny, and the narrative goes to a dark place. Shame things haven't changed!

[Dr Jonathan Lloyd @Calmlloyd]

Just @TheManTheShow @edfringe. Patrick was excellent and brings an essential and much needed voice to men's mental health. Us men need to start a conversation and Patrick offers a vital start. Life saving.

@campbellclaret Hi Alistair. I watched with interest your documentary. My doctorate at Manchester was on the use of Metaphors in therapy. Your jam jar is a classic example. I have a book, I'm happy to send you, about it 'Whales in The Desert' which may interest you.

[Dr Jonathan Lloyd @Calmlloyd]

Resilience is apparent when things go wrong we know there is always someone else around to help me.

[Dr Jonathan Lloyd @Calmlloyd]

Therapy is the gaining of the coherence of mind not the changing of history.

There's a huge difference between pleasing some people some of the time and pleasing all of the people all of the time.
