It’s totally unacceptable for the #BACP to be reproducing ignorance+ableist bias in an article about the psychologising of illness
Counsellors,therapists+editors need to be trustworthy and should not be seeing clients or publishing articles when their information is outdated + therefore harmful
New year, same patterns. Not 7am yet on a Sunday. But up and at it. Assignment about personal online therapy. The joys. #student #studentsky #counselling #bacp
Not getting anywhere with the #BACP who wish to promote the lying machine.
It seems certain that many therapists and counsellors will be using LLMs to record sessions, discuss problems, seek solutions.

Can you guess what motion I submitted?
That counsellors and therapists (we're not a tech-savvy bunch) should be advised against putting confidential details into the insecure plagiarism machines. That motion was summarily rejected.
#BACP really bringing the profession into disrepute. Disgraceful.
"Hey BACP, I want to propose a motion that counsellors and therapists should be urged to be cautious about what confidential client information they share with ChatGPT, we don't know it's safe to do so."
#BACP responds, Nope, motion denied. Here's a super AI boosting issue of therapy today.
The difference between science and scientism and why this really matters in mental health.
The current mental health paradigm is regularly promoted as being highly reliable because it is scientific.
Is this paradigm truly based on high quality science?

Perfectionism is commonly seen as a problematic behaviour pattern; it is indeed problematic.
In order to effectively address perfectionism, it is first necessary to make sense of it.

It does not surprise me at all that 70 years of intensive research has totally failed to establish that the psychiatric diagnoses are fundamentally biological in nature.

The “false divide” between people given psych diagnoses and those who are not, causes many consequences, not least, therapists sometimes inadvertently proving misinformation.

In June 2025, well known US presenter @TuckerCarlson published a 2 hr 20 minute conversation with @LauraDelano.
This conversation between Laura Delano and Tucker Carlson is remarkable. They are both to be congratulated.

The 'economic value' part of this particularly ugly. Shame on #bacp and its muddled priorities
On an off-white torn paper background the heading in a large font says May 2025. Underneath this is a preview of my abstract from the conference which has the BACP logo and the title of my workshop and my details, with an image of me smiling, then underneath this is a preview of my first slide with some art by Amy Salomone and next to this in a large font on it's side it says Research
This week I’ll be facilitating a methodology workshop on my research at the #BACP Research Conf.

I did a search for the #bacp today to see if they were on here, as it said that they are 'monitoring' bluesky in their April magazine.
Confused to find they don't have a profile...
This is interesting. Has it got anything to do with recent demands for counselling and psychotherapy to be regulated?
