People in Gaza are dying in the darkness.
This unthinkable horror cannot be undone — and history will not forgive those who refused to treat Israeli and Palestinian lives with equal worth.
Please, we need a ceasefire, now.
CPTSD sets in over time when you're raised in a dysregulated, unpredictable toxic & dysfunctional environment.
The abnormal becomes normal, and the unacceptable becomes acceptable.
You normalise dysfunction.🧠🌱
The country will still suffer if we do not address childhood trauma and the intergenerational pain will continue. I love what I do.
I had enough of hurt children becoming hurt adults trapped in dysregulated nervous systems.
We need to grow a nation of cycle breakers.🧠🌱
Relationships should be built before any curriculum is taught. Be a dopamine singer and drip feed positive recognition into our young people's emotional currency bank.🧠🌱
Are you a CLD practitioner working in or with a school? The new #CostoftheSchoolDay Voice network is for all young people who want to make sure everyone feels included at school 🙌

It's baffling to me that school meals aren't free. Kids raising money to pay off "lunch debt"! How could you possibly think that is OK?
Every child should receive free healthy meals from their school. I will gladly pay my taxes to make that happen. There is no better investment.
"Hurt people,hurt people." We need to do more to help dysregulated, hurt, young people become hurt, and broken adults. They need help to transform and process their pain instead of transmitting it.🧠🌱
It's not much to ask for.
I want solid healthcare, some nice roads and infrastructure, world class education, good social services, and a safety net for those less fortunate.
You know, all the stuff that we pay taxes for.
Not subsidies and tax breaks for the rich.
The problem is deeper than Boris Johnson.
Never forget that Tory MPs voted him leader, knowing he was an incompetent liar, and 360 Tory MPs kept him as leader, knowing he was an incompetent, law-breaking liar.
It's the Conservative Party that is the problem.
It enabled him.
Scottish Water was never privatised, it’s publicly owned. It is the most trusted utility in the UK, delivering cleaner rivers, lower bills and more investment per head.
Nationalised water works for you & the environment.
Right to Buy was the single most disastrous policy of Thatcher’s reign.
Social housing was decimated, and private landlords reaped the rewards.
Thatcherism is the cause — not the solution — to the housing crisis. We need mass council house building and rent controls instead.
Boris Johnson may have stepped down, but his politics of elitism and inequality lives on.
So, too, does a people-powered movement fighting for something different.
The need for a more equal, inclusive and democratic society is greater than ever before — so let’s get to work.
The greatest threats to mental health:
poverty
inequality
social injustice
abuse
trauma
discrimination (of all kinds)
neoliberalism
poor relationships, diet, exercise
social exclusion
materialism
prejudice
loneliness
iatrogenesis
individualism
meaninglessness
What did I miss?
