‘Asked how prevalent abusive conversion practices were in healthcare settings, Dr Morrison said: “I speak from the view of an organisation with an accredited register – we’re not aware of any complaints that have solely focused or covered conversion practices.’

@BobbumsUK What the gay community previously fought against regarding conversion therapy has been hijacked by heterosexual cross sex dressers and impersonators promoting Queer ideology. If you'd like to understand more then my following article may be of interest.

❝ There’s a difference between ‘therapy culture,’ which comes from pop culture and internet influencer culture, and legitimate psychotherapy. Most of what’s promoted in the culture now as ‘therapy’ is really social media Insta-therapy. ❞

@MacPsy No it won’t particularly as the regulators are also signed up to ‘inclusion’.

It's true, sad, and encouraged by professional bodies: https://t.co/qOnGm1AlQ2

[Soad Tabrizi @SoadTabrizi]

Incredibly true and incredibly sad.

[Save Mental Health @SaveMHUK]

@MacPsy Yes, that is the case and it’s a disaster.

[Save Mental Health @SaveMHUK]

You're right Mary, in an ideal world this should be the case. I am sure there are still reputable and experienced practitioners offering therapy. Unfortunately, though, it seems that 'fitness to practice' is no longer what you or I would understand it to be. Reliable sources working in our professions tell me that they are experiencing difficulties managing newly qualified clinicians who struggle to manage their own mental health as well as that of their clients. They are often on sick leave and managers rely on other staff to fill the gaps. This is a very worrying situation that not only has a negative impact on clients but also on services.

If you’re needing that extra push to submit evidence to the scrutiny committee here it is!

The suggestion that believing there are two sexes should disqualify someone from seeing clients is extraordinary. Even more concerning is how the BPS and counselling and psychotherapy organisations came to endorse positions rooted in such contested ideological assumptions. How were these positions adopted, and where was the meaningful consultation with their members? We are now facing the potential consequences of these positions if the Draft Conversion Practices Bill becomes law.

[Joseph Burgo @drjosephburgo]

"In the meantime, they’re likely to feel powerless, with no control over their mental health." From this excellent article, I would highlight this point. An exclusive focus on minority stress undermines any sense of agency and teaches clients to feel helpless in the face of social forces over which they have no control.

@HeadWarriorTWM Hadn't thought of it that way before but you're absolutely spot on. 👏

[Patrick Lockwood @AlobhaPatrick]

Marsha Linehan has died.

Rest in Peace

Such a tortured person, a brave person. She helped so many people as she started to understand her pain, and has done so for decades.

Proof that pain can become purpose.

This is Igi Moon at the Scottish Parliament in 2021, it’s hard to imagine there will be anything new in the evidence she will give to the scrutiny committee tomorrow!
