I was just talking to a friend about transference love, and the feeling of needing love from a therapist. I'm going to do my best to describe my thoughts on it. All the feelings I'm about to talk about are natural and human. It is okay to feel them. 🧵

[Lucia Sarmiento Verano @SarmientoVerano]

OK. Real talk time. I've been keeping this quiet for months and there's no need to make it public, but that wouldn't serve anyone would it? Also I keep witnessing how this profession tends to be self-righteous and full of stigma against the very people we are meant to serve. 1/n

When you unintentionally hurt or offend somebody it’s generally good policy to attend to their hurt instead of focusing on your shame.

@SarmientoVerano sound like a special memory ..thank you for sharing it Lucia.

[Marta 🌺 @m4lenka]

For me is a dill .. my nana always used it in her cooking and pickle recipes. Takes me down the memory lane each time I smell/use it 💞

[Lucia Sarmiento Verano @SarmientoVerano]

The smell of freshly cut coriander... feels just like home.

[Lucia Sarmiento Verano @SarmientoVerano]

If you think you're being fair because you treat everyone ✨the same✨ then you're not considering differences in needs, communication styles and boundaries.

What is the invisible norm you are ascribing to? And how is that making your treatment of others potentially unfair?

Yesterday I had a *classic* autistic experience of being singled out and then gaslit in a group environment. I cried, mostly because I was angry, then, in spite of being told I should stay, I left. I felt euphoric at this act of power reclamation, and after processing...

Genuine psychotherapy (but also teaching and even simply friendship) is not to give others meaning or to help them “find” it but instead to enable one’s own meaning-MAKING — that is, the mobilization of invention, possibility, and making anew. Fixed meaning is often the obstacle.

Tragic news

The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)

Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

What an experience it was!! Day where the hearts of our team and the club, synchronised with the rhythm of supporting chants, erupted with true joy and an immense sense of achievement 😊 @VballEngland

[Tamworth Volleyball @TamworthVC]

Our women have been promoted to division 2 of the @VballEngland national league today. Congrats ladies!!

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

When October price cap rise begins Bank of England expects 40% rise (on top of 54% in April) to £2800 a year. That's about 1/3rd of the state pension (average payment is £8530) and 2/3rds of a single person's Universal Credit of £4018 (88% if <25). The another rise in January.

[Marta 🌺 @m4lenka]

@MrB_Y3 It is for sure an achievement worth of highest recognition!😀

[Marta 🌺 @m4lenka]

@RECKLESS_IMBER You will find a lot of people around you who are super proud of you too 😉 I have no doubt that each student of yours felt truly supported by your ongoing presence Chris. Congratulations to you all.

[Marta 🌺 @m4lenka]

@ClinLeadWBM @mpftwellbeing Sarah, this sounds like an intriguing initiative. Can I ask how often the wellbeing bus will be available to local people? Is it something they can relay to be of help regularly or is it created to support the assessment process to ease the access to mpfb?

@stigmainthebin Sending lots of warm thoughts your way Bex 🌺 btw. a bra full of confetti will always make me think of you 😉🎊

[Marta 🌺 @m4lenka]

@aclientfirst my therapist held me in her arms when pain of the past became too much to bear .. I will be forever grateful for her courage, curiosity and safety. And yes, ethical considerations were at the forefront of her decision.
