#Nlandrelationshipsday for anyone interested the #TalkToMeLikeImSomeoneYouLove cards they were developed by @nancydreyfus and they are very helpful indeed, with the reason the words matter on the reverse.

#Nlandrelationshipsday ok, I had a little cry at the Still Face With Dads experiment- beautifully explained with its long term consequences by Dr Richard Tronic

#Nlandrelationshipsday shocking statistic that I need to think about more. And why don’t we think about #pregnantcouples ? We would honour each so much more easily. Also let’s have #ParentsToBe services rather Maternity. Go on, I dare you.

#Nlandrelationshipsday Mark Williams talking beautifully about the problems of sex after a birth, especially if the birth is traumatic, each parent understands it is missing but interprets it differently, it can become a big and painful problem. We do need to think about it more

#Nlandrelationshipsday the idea that #postnataldepression is a shared experience is helpful, both parents may be depressed or just one, expressing what belongs to them both. It’s why @TaviRelations developed #CoupleTherapyForDepression

#Nlandrelationshipsday Mark Williams is telling us about the crucial risks for fathers in the #perinatal period. @TaviRelations has such a lovely perinatal programme to help.

#Nlandrelationshipsday ouch, Mark Williams telling us that he had never been so lonely as he was in the first year of his child’s life. #PostnatalDepressionAffectsFatbersToo

#Nlandrelationshipsday #ValentinesDay2023 doing so well, about to think about the importance of #fathers

Last minute #ValentinesDay2023 addition to my presentation for tomorrow’s Northumberland Relationship Summit. So looking forward to hearing how it is all going. #NlandRelationshipsDay @TaviRelations @dimaryrobertson
