@FionaMelding @GMMH_NHS @sharonm02447491 @SimonGloverRMHN They are very lucky to have you, Fiona. Making space for our experience and feelings is so invaluable in helping us navigate this very difficult terrain we find ourselves in.

@Randall_JAC Some trainees offer therapy, usually to two clients at a time, to a nearby psychotherapy service in exchange of supervision. You could also ask your employer to give you the time to attend teaching (10 days per yr). Good luck!

“I think I see voices as dandelions, a force of life or nature coming out of the asphalt in the streets and the cement in courtyards... little bright miracles breaking through our attempts to control everything... they reach out to us to tell us about things we lost touch with..”
