Most therapists do far too much "explaining"—usually to manage their own anxiety, or avoid something difficult going on between them & patient in the "here-and-now." The urge to start "educating" is usually a cue to pay attention to something going on in the therapy relationship

Former Act Party ad man & conspiracy theorist John Ansell making an embarrassing public spectacle of himself yet again, this time disrupting a ticketed event in Upper Hutt last Friday night that featured Sir Ashley Bloomfield, his net result being kicked out & trespassed.

“Here’s what I want to do to mark Kissinger’s 100th birthday: I want to talk about some of the many, many people around the world who didn’t get to live till 100, or even 60, 70, or 80, *because* of Henry Kissinger.”

@Mihi_Forbes I’m pākehā and I support the inclusion of te reo Māori everywhere.

Calling on my Pākeha countrymen and women to speak up and stand up for te reo.
It's so much better when we do this together. Kia kaha te reo Māori. 🫶 #HeTaongaTeReo

We've done it. It's been a long road, but we've found a Brexit benefit, and by jingo, it's a banger.

@JonathanShedler Agree. And "Never say never". Single session therapies build in assessment and formulation into that first contact. Focused acceptance and commitment therapy

#BHN The National Party is selling the idea of how terrible NZ's inflation is. Now no one is denying lower inflation would be better, but I think context is important. Where does today's inflation compare to other similar countries @Chewie_NZ

@cjsbishop @RebeccaJEmm Chris, as my teenage son would say "that's cap". I worked Queen Street & K Road homeless mental health for 5 years. If these people exist and back the policy, let them stand up.

[Christopher Bishop @cjsbishop]

@RebeccaJEmm You need to open your mind. Direct from people working at the frontline.

[Kat - #FlickThePricksIn26 @ijakk2]

@gtiso @antihobbes @cjsbishop - please name these organisations who told you that no-cause rental terminations would help homeless people.

DeSantis tried to destroy my reputation, undermine my credentials and work, intimidate me by ordering an armed raid on my home, silence me by jailing me, and threaten me with prison for refusing to drop my whistleblower case. He failed every time.

It's been three weeks since we filed our lawsuit against the state.

Last night, they arrested my son for non- threatening snapchat memes. The officer said it was the state's call.

That corrupt, fascist pig is about to find out that the runway people gave him to defame and attack me isn't there when you kidnap and charge 13 year old autistic kids whose parents happen to be your 'worst nightmare' with felony threats of terrorism for sharing snapchat memes.

I have been through this media circus before. I'm not the 30-year-old naive scientist that I was when this all started.

I'm going to take every ounce of pain, fear and helplessness I'm feeling right now into saving my son and making sure you never escape what you've done.

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety.

THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida.

There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king
