@JonathanShedler Agree on a lot of these but I think psychoeducation can be really helpful for things like trauma and anxiety/panic. Helps normalise and contextualise. Clients seem really relieved to know what’s happening in body and why. But used sparingly, and no jargon.

Well worth reading this perspective from the artist Adam Doyle aka Spicebag in @IrishTimes

"Decades of neglect and negative interactions [with gardaí and the State] have led to a deep mistrust. This is easily co-opted and manipulated by outside forces."

@amyohconnor Really seemed unnecessary - not a line that belonged in a factual piece of reporting

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@LauraSlattery @imccinemas Glad you got home ok too

When (and why) did everyone start speaking to instead of about? 🤔

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@Mairead38333911 @MumblinDeafRo Such well written characters. Feel like I know them. Wasn’t on my radar at all until librarian suggested it as an option to our book club and we all liked the look of it (great cover)

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

I absolutely love this book by @MumblinDeafRo and want to give it to everyone I know

When did a red light stop meaning stop? Blows my mind how many people just sail through them🤯

I've never come across persistence like Sky before. I quit their service a few months ago and they've called me three times to try and convince me to come back. Do other companies do this?!

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@adrianweckler Definitely not. That’s the incentive I need to get off Twitter. Cheers Elon

Public service broadcasting: @johncreedon playing Springsteen’s Jungleland (which clocks in at over 9 mins) 👏

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@IrishTimesLaura @LauraSlattery Really interesting piece

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@Annie_Whitmore I remember having that experience when we lived beside Croke Park and there was one of those games on. No warning for residents, just BOOM! We honestly thought we were about to die!! Your poor mam

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

What an incredible book @katrionaos 👏

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@jkconnolly Not quite sure he’s compared like with like there either. Henry St surely a more appropriate comparison with Grafton St (than O’Connell St)

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@SineadCrowley Exciting times ahead Sinead! And what great memories. Enjoy the next chapter x

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@jenhoganjourno Yup!

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@LauraSlattery You’re having a great week!

[Anne-Louise Foley @Alfiechops]

@pjgallagher I’d imagine, like most things to go with parenting, people are just projecting stuff from their own experience. That, or just regurgitating lazy cliches to make conversation!
