I have a MSc and a PhD in Health Psychology and have researched well-being for more than 15 years. Every time I see a tokenistic message telling people to engage in mindfulness as a tool to manage stress produced by preventable inequities I feel an effervescent rage.

This resonates.

"Those in the west who insist we cannot take in “the world’s misery” must, at the very least, acknowledge how much of that misery we are responsible for. This is not a question of guilt, but responsibility." 5 years old; sadly still relevant. https://t.co/b7nNMbJnd3

It's disgraceful that private healthcare companies are making a profit out of the coronavirus.

The beds should be used by the NHS. Rent-free.

Sending #solidarity to these and other service workers who are almost always serving on the frontlines. The depths and impact of profit over care is more evident now than ever . #healingjustice

[Counterfire @counterfireorg]

Cleaners, porters and catering staff at Lewisham Hospital walked out today after not being paid or given protective clothing - in a hospital that has had confirmed cases of coronavirus. This is what they had to say.

A gentle reminder ✨❤️ @drthema

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

Healing is resisting the temptation to go back to silenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, erasure. Healing is the risk and discomfort of showing up for yourself.
