Ketamine-Assisted Therapy 🔬
As mental health professionals, many of us know how challenging it can be to help those living with complex PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. Standard approaches often leave deep fractures in a person’s sense of self largely untouched.

Me and @wolvercoteman were delighted to meet with Dr Wayne Kampers to discuss his innovative approach to conditions which for some people can prove treatment resistant.

Dr Kampers’ approach goes beyond pharmacology—it’s a holistic process combining intravenous ketamine (in carefully titrated doses) with regular integration therapy, including EMDR. His detailed assessments and trauma-focused lens have helped clients piece together their fractured narratives, often after years of unsuccessful therapy and polypharmacy.

Key takeaways:
· 🧩 Every patient receives a thorough, psychologically rich assessment to ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment
· 🧠 The combination of ketamine and integration therapy helps soften rigid defences, allowing for real healing and transformation
· 🤝 The therapeutic relationship and mindset work play a crucial role in ensuring safety and maximizing benefits
· 🧑‍⚕️ Outcomes so far have shown remarkable improvements, with many patients moving from lifelong struggle to genuine connection with themselves
It's inspiring to see innovative, patient-centred approaches making such a tangible difference.

Please @BBCNews @BBCr4today stop saying Trump's wife brokered Ukrainian deal. It was the Pope and his team, the un and others. She came in at the end to hog the headlines. Do simple research for your stories particularly anything coming out of the white house.

In this episode of @LockedUpLiving , neuroscientist Sarah Turner joins the podcast to discuss the interconnectedness of the brain, body, gut, and environmental factors—particularly light—and how these can be leveraged to enhance wellbeing, especially within challenging environments like prisons.
The discussion covers cutting-edge topics such as photobiomodulation (red and near-infrared light therapy), the importance of the microbiome, and accessible ways to improve mental and physical health.

Key Insights
The Power of Light: Sarah Turner explains how natural light and targeted light therapy can increase brain energy, reduce inflammation, and even improve symptoms of severe conditions like motor neuron disease, based on real case studies.
The Microbiome and Diet: The podcast stresses the underappreciated impact of gut health and prison diets on mental health, behaviour, and emotional regulation—highlighting simple, low-cost changes that can yield significant benefits.
Empowering Agency: Regular wellbeing routines, including exposure to natural light and small dietary adjustments, provide individuals—even those in highly restrictive environments—with a sense of agency and potential improvements in quality of life.
Accessibility and Solutions: Sarah Turner offers practical strategies for making light and nutrition-based interventions more accessible in institutions, emphasizing education, simple environmental changes, and the use of inexpensive tools (like red clothes or flax seeds).
Research and Integrity: The episode touches on the importance of scientific transparency and collaboration, and the challenges of bringing new wellness technologies to those most in need.

Who Should Listen:
Professionals working in prison, secure care, or institutional environments

It's ok for the bbc @BBCNews to be winding the country up about fuel tax but it would be nice if they spent a few minutes explaining about tax and what it pays for, roads, health pensions, etc etc. The money has to come from somewhere

[LockedUpLiving @LockedUpLiving]

@wolvercoteman @BBCr4today and apparently planning to live stream an execution!?!

[David Jones @wolvercoteman]

Why does @BBCr4today keep glibly repeating that US is our closest ally. That is a country that forcibly supports exploitative capitalism, locks up millions of its citizens, is deeply racist, encourages gun ownership, costly health care, death penalty... Come on.

@USATODAY @NMPsychologist Thank you so much @NMPsychologist @wolvercoteman for recording this for me because the BBC, as legal expert Bridgette Carr wrote and describes, failed to call out this FAR more serious crime of human trafficking

Hundreds talking about it NOW‼️

@BBCNews @BBCr4today busy stirring up anxiety about prison release this morning.

[David Jones @wolvercoteman]

@_larryRmfc Should be 10 point deduction for each of the seasons, retraction of every cup won in that time, fine equivalent to bonuses received to be distributed to the other clubs, close review of past 8 years.

[David Jones @wolvercoteman]

Man City resolution, it's simple, ten point deduction for each season affected, reversal of every cup win and relegation this season. @BBCNews @BBCSport

[David Jones @wolvercoteman]

Why do @BBCSport keep referring to Man City charges, we are past that, these are findings of guilt.

In the latest compelling episode of the Locked Up Living podcast, hosts David Jones and Dr Naomi Murphy are joined by Dr Elly Hanson, clinical psychologist and strategy director at CEASE (Centre to End All Sexual Exploitation) and research lead at Fully Human. The episode dives deep into the commercial and cultural forces driving sexual exploitation and abuse, focusing on the influence of the pornography industry, the challenges of advocating for change in the face of powerful interests, and the personal and professional toll of working in this demanding field.

Dr Elly Hanson shares candid reflections on what it means to tackle deeply entrenched societal problems, the importance of collective action, and the need to uphold hope and integrity even when faced with resistance and setbacks. The conversation also explores the concept of post-traumatic growth, the dangers of bureaucratic indifference, and the power of literature and philosophy to sustain resilience.

Key highlights include:
· How commercial interests shape unhealthy sexual scripts in society
· The challenges of protecting children and societal responses to harmful content
· The emotional and ethical complexity of working with trauma and abuse
· Reflections on resilience, compassion fatigue, and remaining human in challenging systems
· Signs of societal progress: New laws and shifts in attitudes around online abuse and regulation
· Personal strategies for staying hopeful, inspired, and connected despite adversity—including poetry and collective effort
If you work in social care, education, or just care about social justice and the future of our digital society, this is an unmissable episode packed with insight, honesty, and hope.

Is @BBCNews really helping the country by giving airtime to racist migrant billionaire Radcliffe who surprise surprise, doesn't like tax, doesn't like money spent on public services.

[David Jones @wolvercoteman]

Why is @BBCNews giving so much airtime to Piddington vote, a clear political stunt to embarrass the government trying to find ways to resolve an impossible global situation.
