@NCLPsych Can’t wait to watch final episode later! The characters are all so despicable and that’s what makes it so amazing to watch.

A new clinically-relevant framework to understand hallucination distress. Listening and believing negative voices – and there are understandable reasons why people do – will increase anxiety/depression. Congrats @bryonysheaves fantastic work @OxPsychiatry https://t.co/2xMQKzsLhH

New paper on body image concerns in patients with persecutory delusions...likely that low body esteem feeds into the sense of personal vulnerability that paranoia thrives on. Great work led by @FelicityWaite @OxPsychiatry https://t.co/lsVFVOD2Qm

@Rufusmay 2) we’ve found that often threat-related content or experience of voices is more likely to occur in hyperarousal anyway with more shame-based experiences occurring in hypoarousal, but also the unusual experience can be the trigger out of the window of tolerance too.

[Nicola Barclay @nicnacdoodle]

@Rufusmay 1) We often use the window of tolerance framework to understand how a voice or unusual experience can affect hyper- or hypoarousal for the individual, and then think about what strategies may help return to the window of tolerance.

Any #CognitiveAnalyticTherapy folks know of people using *indirect* CAT in primary care (including 5 Session CAT)? Perhaps GP-practice-based clin psychs? Please get in touch if so.

@spade_hands I've only listened to the first mix so far, but it's easier to tell you the names of songs I didn't instantly love! Only two!
