Creative collaboration as inquiry into relational processes involves informal experimentation, sharing work in progress, building trust, reflection on our wider processes, and educating others as we go. For a taste of how we work see Cani-net:

History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracle
And cures and healing wells.

- Seamus Heaney, from “The Cure at Troy.”

I've heard great things about this CPD training for any practitioners wanting to improve their understanding around rape and sexual violence. Please share.

@jefffinethomas Money transfers, I mean, between family members, which enacted hierarchies of care, expectation, and responsibility

[Melissa Dunlop @Melissa_Psy_Lit]

@jefffinethomas I think of money in therapy as a manifestation of the unconscious dynamic in the relationship. This accords with a not particularly rational relationship with money growing up and the ways in which money represented the relationship between family members

When our patients can no longer build fantasies or dream, then we must dream for them — until such time as they find the courage to regain contact with their psychic reality and creativity. ~ J. McDougall, Plea for a Measure of Abnormality.

@mathiaspoulsen An act of caring or support, like bringing some cooked meals, paying for a cleaner's time or doing it yourself, or bath things or a spa day for mama will mean a lot. And something that in later years will show child number two that they were also being thought about!

[Melissa Dunlop @Melissa_Psy_Lit]

@charlie_psych Yes, because that involves thinking in terms of process not concrete objects or outcomes.

@stephenhues Patricia Clough's User Unconscious might be a good place to start
