My conversation with the super duper @beverleywang and a host of courageous callers about how to handle deep value clashes. https://t.co/dwntmnqR8b

@JemenaLtd is there a power outage in 3011?

#MAFS has once again shown us that the ethical codes of practice for many of our #helpingprofessions are meaningless when it comes to reality television, where #harm, blatant conflicts of interest and breaches of #researchethics codes are the norm.

@VLine Any word on when the coach will arrive?

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

Absolutely appalling form @VLine. No notice of buses replacing trains on the Warrnambool line and 40 minute delay. People here on the Terang platform missing work and family commitments.

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

@VLine And yet it’s 1:17 and the replacement coach for the 12:18 train has yet to arrive.

A great reminder. Nobody I’ve been locked up with in a psychiatric hospital felt ‘proud’ of their illness https://t.co/palKV0yfsy

If it wasn’t for the punishing time difference I’d be there with bells on. Check it out!

Reminder that Mon 12th June I'm in conversation with @carolinehearst at @AutAngel talking about therapy & harm in therapy for autistic people. This is likely my penultimate event of 2023 (last being NCD on June 24th) as I prepare for supervision training. https://t.co/dwY654xTSw

When MH services are failing people at a staggering rate, when marginalised ppl are unable to access training & services, when MBs are making record profits, it is EXACTLY the time to point our fingers at our professional systems and say "What the fuck are you going to do?"

About to chat to the mighty Beverley Wang and her listeners on Life Matters @RadioNational this morning about AGEING… Not for the faint hearted. How can we face ageing with courage? Tune in after the news at 9.

@Scanlon_Leslie wish I could join you!

Wow the sub tweeting on #linkedin is next level.

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

@snappyalligator Definitely. ‘I told you so’ can be traumatic in itself. Ideally, they’re linked to both expectations and supports.

In this home stretch of the academic year, I am channeling Norwegian forest cat energy to reach the finish line. Beware my staring eyes and hairy ears!

Norwegian forest cats ❤️

Brilliant. It takes me days to recover from a check up and clean and I’ve had years of practice preparing my lovely dentist. This resource is gold.

[Michael Salter @mike_salter]

Such a great idea - a trauma informed dentistry resource co-produced with survivors of child sexual abuse.

I know too many survivors who have never been to the dentist because they can’t tolerate it. Important initiative.

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

@snappyalligator Thanks so much for sharing this. It’s really helpful for those of us navigating this. Makes me think of Roxanne Gay’s summary “Few are willing to consider the possibility that trigger warnings might be ineffective, impractical, and necessary for creating safe spaces all at once.”

Being an academic mostly involves saying “it will all calm down next week and I’ll get some proper work done”.

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

@meeraatkinson It is used as shorthand and that can be useful at times because an understanding of trauma is so important, but it’s also part of a system of homogenized treatment approaches which aren’t ever one size fits all.

[That Dr Zoë Krupka @zoekrupka]

One of the key problems with language like #traumainformed is that it erases the person who is living with trauma. The trauma has not informed you. You don’t get to rest on your informed laurels. Each person has a new story and they are your informants.
