You cant create psychological safety with some kind of ice breaker exercise, or just announce "all views are welcome". The key thing is WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS when someone speaks up with a different view? Is it welcomed with openness? Let's all notice this- it tells us everything.

Dear all,

We have started recruitment and I would be so grateful if you could spread this amongst your networks (UK/Ireland), please.

Eligible participants will be compensated for their participation. More information below.

Thanks so much for your kind help. Please RT 🙏🩵

Feeling incredibly honoured and grateful for the opportunity to work with and be guided by Catriona Craig (with invaluable input from @psalkovskis) on this piece of work during my clinical training at @oxicpt/@UniofOxford.

[Charlie Jones @charlie_psych]

Sitting with someone having a hard time- it's so tempting to rush in with problem solving, "why dont you try..." or "have you thought of..." Important to just be there, & be alongside where someone's at, & make space for the reality of it.

[Juliet Young (she/her) @Juliet_Young1]

Latest drawing is about continuing bonds theory: in contrast to narratives about getting over loss, this says keeping a relationship alive in a different way can be healthy and helpful

Share how you have you maintained bonds after loss in comments for others to see...

"Prevention is better than cure"... especially when there is no cure.
Reducing risk of #Alzheimers #dementia is possible:

😴 Get 7+ hours of sleep a night

🧠Regularly challenge the brain

😊Look after mental well-being

🤼‍♂️Stay socially active

🦻Look after your hearing

I drew this one a while ago. Inspired by some lectures and one of the people I worked with in my last placement...

[Catriona Craig @catrinacraig]

@BecciDow Wow! Will do…hope you can be patient..😂

[Dr. Rebecca Poz (also on Blue Sky) @rebeccapoz]

A contented evening with my new @ProfPaulGilbert book!

Latest developments in specific areas and some really great clinical tips.

Could only be enhanced by a section on #CFT with #OlderPeople, #dementia, and #neurorehab!

Allies we need to be seen!

High performing teams need #psychologicalsafety. I love this illustration that highlights six key questions to cultivate psychological safety with your team members

To the rest of the world: if you want to see Britain go proper apocalyptic, wait for when the tea runs out.

Can someone explain how people think their immune system is powerful enough to deal with a virus that has killed over 4.5 million people but not powerful enough to deal with a vaccine that over 3.4 billion people (basically half the world) has already received AND survived?
