I strongly believe the smallest act of daily creativity can powerfully reinforce & fuel our trauma recovery.

Our bullies & abusers desperately want us forgetting how to make & share music, art, poetry, or anything else. Ask yourself why.

"Choices" aren't real choices when we've been so heavily conditioned by trauma that we are blind to our options and resources.

Questions like "Why didn't you leave?" & "Why did you keep repeating those patterns?" assume agency that we literally don't comprehend when we're down the rabbit hole.

Why do we build the wall? We build the wall to keep us free!

I was hoping this was AI or something. Utterly despicable.

Oh hi!

I have missed sign up links to events andn9ther important things because those parts of the email were hidden be because the email was from a scary external person.

You do not feel bad because you are "disordered." You feel bad because CPTSD has poisoned your beliefs about yourself & your options.

Thats not a "disorder," that's an injury-- & injuries can heal w/ the proper care.

Mr Tibs concurs (conpurrs?)!

They took so much more than a tree for so many. Holding space in my thoughts for you this week. Hopefully in future you can also visit the saplings. Maybe you can find something in them about new hope and life after loss.

The gym does wonders for my stress levels too. Hipe it hasn't been too bruising!

Arthritis is more common amongst 55-64 year olds in the North of England (28%) than in the South (23%). Just 51% of people in the North East and Yorkshire are seen for treatment within the national 3 week target, compared to 79% in the South West www.thenhsa.co.uk/2025/06/olde...

You're not as bothersome or burdensome as Trauma Brain is trying to convince you you are.

Yes, you might bug some people-- but so does every human. Our conditioning tries to tell us we're a huge inconvenience for breathing, that everyone resents-- but that's BS (Belief Systems).

Greater London contains some of the highest poverty rates in the UK. Yet no matter how many times I read the newly-published list of 75 places Angela Rayner considers the country's "most left behind" I see nowhere in Greater London on it: www.gov.uk/government/p... #london #poverty

Regional inequalities: the North East “Tackling poverty is not just about income – it’s about dignity, opportunity and health. We remain committed to building a fairer, more inclusive South Tyneside.”

Cant think of anyone more deserving. Gisèle Pelicot is one of the most brwv3 and powerful women I have ever come across.

New panel of young people to shape the Government’s Youth Guarantee Young people with experience of being out of education, employment and training will help shape policy as part of a new Youth Guarantee Advisory Panel.

A new youth panel is being set up to help advise the Labour government on the Youth Guarantee - ensuring all 18-21yr olds can work or learn.

The panel will contain those with experience of being out of education, employment & training. It will discuss the barriers they face & how to overcome them.

Let's apply this to traumatised adults too.

Blaming & shaming pupils parents /caregivers doesn't break intergenerational trauma. Pupils will blame themselves, this is what traumatised kids do.Its never about blame because where does it stop? It's about supporting pupils to heal & do things differently.🧠🌱

This study is well underway now with initial findings showing promise for provision of new insight into the relationship between childhood trauma and homelessness, informing recommendations for future developments in trauma informed practice.

Excited to share our most recent publication (co-authored with @profmlhussier.bsky.social detailing the protocol for our study exploring trauma-impaired executive function and its impacts on homeless adults in the UK (see link below).

Looking at your profile I have a feeling this is already something much more intrinsic to you. We know that art, creativity, play is human nature. We want it to be recognised by the health system too.

Anything that involves using creative methods for health and wellbeing or inclusion in health and wellbeing. For more info this is an excellent place to start:

We need the same from our services. Not you are safe because I say so and the walls are pastel colours but if you miss 3 appointments you are off the books. We need them to have the time and resource to show compassion and care for as long as it takes to support recovery.
