Saddened to learn that Dr Sue Johnson passed away a few weeks ago having only just discovered her trailblazing research. Her words from this insightful podcast are still ringing in my ears- Relationship Science should be national curriculum as she wished https://t.co/XYIgwje9zy

[Dr. Sue Johnson @Dr_SueJohnson]

A trailblazing psychotherapist, renowned author, and creator of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dr. Johnson's work transformed countless lives and relationships.

“This is where the truth is told or can be told in a really stark way”. Poignant words from @idriselba at @sheffdocfest this morning about the power of documentary storytelling and his experience of making important upcoming @NatGeo series Erased: WWII’s Heroes of Colour.

Haven’t posted in a while but this article by @MarinaHyde about the value of compliance teams from public service broadcasters like the BBC is spot on. Recommended reading for anyone enjoying #BabyReindeer https://t.co/MjlNjxtLnd

The movement we’ve seen on the Post Office Horizon scandal over the past few days shows the power that television still holds to effect change. To quote the wise words of ⁦@jackthorne⁩, it’s “an empathy box in the corner of the room.” https://t.co/Lsbh7w6Ee6

In 2022 I visited Cuba for the first time. I was struck by the welcoming and reflective nature of many Cubans I met but I was not prepared for the severity of the current economic crisis. An historic exodus is under way and I wanted to help tell this story https://t.co/kGQ5bO94pZ
