An excellent summary of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy from the well known Serenity Prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Where we care is where we hurt
And where we hurt is where we care. 💛
They go hand in hand and can’t be separated
Despite our best attempts it is impossible to separate them
Accepting this allows us to treat our pain with dignity

"I’m a psychologist – and I believe we’ve been told devastating lies about mental health" - Dr Sanah Ahsan in @guardian https://t.co/SpJpUxzdb3

@DrTomRichardson Wise words. I didn’t do so well in my first piece of coursework in clinical training and it devastated me at the time as I thought it was evidence I wasn’t good enough. Stressful transition.
Don't let your #PTSD win today. Reach out to a friend, therapist, or family member. It's OK to not be OK.
Pro-tip: Find a therapist who specializes in EMDR therapy. It really helps and quickly. @EMDRHAP#Veteran@USNavy#MentalHealth
A step forward in the crackdown on unregulated "experts" in the family courts. This comes after ACP-UK previously made a legal intervention in this court case. Thank you @hansummers & @guardian@ObserverUK for helping us to raise awareness on the issue.

ACP-UK has developed guidance which looks in detail at how team formulation can be used collaboratively to present a co-produced and non-judgmental framework for care across different contexts.

We DON'T have to create systems in which trauma survivors HAVE to retell their stories again & again to new people in order to access services (or be acknowledged as survivors in need of help).
Retelling the narrative ALWAYS carries w/ it risk of destabilization.
"Keeping the focus on how our children are doing on the inside—rather than on how they are “performing” on the outside—is how we ensure that they have the conditions they need for them to recover."
