Walks places, writes stuff & wonders a lot. In Warwickshire. Befriending trees. Speaking out about suicide. Pursuing a more trauma-informed society. & grieving.

When people speak truth to power, they will usually be written off as emotionally reactive. #TraumaTherapistRants

😭😭😭 @thegriefcast don't leaveeee me! As gentle as @ladycariad tried to make that sounds my grief brain has gone 'IT'S AN ENDING. IT'S OVER' - Nooo. Thank GOD for the book (which is absolutely beautiful & making me weep & feel so held). Love to the griefsters out there today 💜

@JonjayNeedham1 Thank you so much for sharing/highlighting this..my sis & I also experienced complex trauma & abuse growing up -she developed anorexia & then took her own life at 22. I am currently trying to face up to the hard work of surviving & healing..so encouraging to hear your story. ��

[Jessie Dutton @JessieDutton]

@pjsissons Oh Pat, thank you for remembering and for all your support, interest and encouragement at that time too. I just love having her face and smile still out there and talked about ☺️⭐ Very grateful x

Happy 28th Birthday to my beautiful sister,Hannah-who died by #suicide at 22. Today is the 1st year no one remembered/contacted me..it's been very lonely.I have no other family,so grieve alone &just wanted to tell the world she's not forgotten & deeply loved #grief @thegriefcast

Honestly can't believe the outpouring of love here.I hope this can be a reminder to anyone needing it-however lonely you feel,there's such a lot of goodness in people out there still. When so many are struggling right now,let this be testament to finding kindness anywhere we can.

[Jessie Dutton @JessieDutton]

To everyone liking, commenting and sharing my birthday post for Han - thank you so very much for helping me feel less alone. It fills my heart to know after several years she's being seen and thought of - I'm so proud of her always. Thank you all!!💙

@rhi_harris @thegriefcast @TCFcharityUK Same here - big time. Yes! That'd be lovely! Let me know when you're next around the Midlands, thank you so much xxx

[Jessie Dutton @JessieDutton]

@rhi_harris @thegriefcast Yeah, not talked about so much the older sibling responsibility bit.. sometimes you've almost co-parented them at times - I felt that with Han! Here's to Jamie too & yes - we need more grief retreats with @TCFcharityUK !! And meet ups would be nice xx

[Jessie Dutton @JessieDutton]

@rhi_harris @thegriefcast Yeah,I totally understand the protective/responsibility thing -my little sis by 3.5 years.. Han took her life 5 days after my Mum's funeral,I was 26 -lots of guilt & agony - it's a real journey the grief lark isn't it? But comforting we have people to walk it with - love to you x

Mental health services commonly accuse pts of "playing games", but what they don't seem to appreciate is they force us to play the game they have set up. I don't like to lie, but today I was threatened into lying to services, bc the ONLY option was "tell us you are ok or these 1/
