@JShepherdLMFT What a great thread explaining the importance of stress reduction as a catalyst for increased motivation. As you say, when the body is in survival mode, it will not allow, what seems to be, an additional unnecessary drain on already depleted resources
Mass. General Psychiatry held a mini-conference yesterday, and we presented some data from an undergraduate project showing that when anxiety and depression questionnaires are given to chronically ill people, the results can be misinterpreted.
@drjenwolkin Totally agree, how can we progress this idea so that sustained support is provided for sufferers and their families? Penalising those who self medicate to alleviate their pain in the absence of sufficient health provision harms everyone around them

Addiction IS a disease no less real than cancer that needs constant monitoring even in remission.

@PARTSOFJOY @adamfare1996 Everyone who is employed is bound by their organisational policies, therapist or not. As we have seen in recent history, the caring professionals are not always cared for. There is much more to be explored around fostering the wellness of the workforce 🙂
