Woman collapsed on the pavement bleeding from her head. I parked, controlled the situation (others were fretting) and stopped cuts on her head .

Whilst she was going in and out of consciousness she made a racist remark at me. I literally have her blood on me. Welcome to the UK.

@RachLouDriscoll Love this... and spookily, I was just chatting about this very topic with a friend moments ago. So this'll be a handy and timely thread to pass on. Thanks 🙏🏾

@CloeyCallahan I use body doubling a bunch, and teach others to do so too (total game changer). Would be happy to chat to you about it.

Whatever you believe, at the very least this conversation between John Barnes & Andrew Castle does highlight the power of narrative in shaping our ability & inclination to cultivate empathy toward others & act on it. A much needed & seldom had discussion.
