I’ve learned that the most powerful medicine is often not found in prescriptions or procedures, but in the simple acts of listening, validating, & approaching each patient with a trauma-informed lens.
Healing weaves together the mind, emotions, & the honouring of lived experiences.

Noble idea. an one I will pursue.

My Bluesky New Year's resolution is coming early. I am going to make a concerted attempt to balance the news I share here (much of it bad) with more of the good (all the beautiful creativity and kindness of which humans are capable.)

It’s a privilege to step into the community, meeting vulnerable patients where they are—work that feels especially meaningful during the holiday season

The holidays can be a complex time, often bringing challenges that affect mental, emotional, and physical well-being

Wishing peace & health to all

Seeing significantly more people wearing masks this holiday season. Smart. Viral infections surge during this time of year due to travel and more time spent indoors. Wearing a masks means avoiding illness and therefore more valuable time spent with loved ones.

Quick question to my friends here. Has anyone given BlueSky Space a go yet? @theresisters.bsky.social have been hearing from lots of folks asking about resurrecting our TSpaces here in the friendlier place. Just wondering if anyone’s taken @bsky.app space function for a test drive?

It's been three days since Dalia Hasan @daliahasanmd.bsky.social —a critical voice—was completely silenced, losing all her followers and following. For those still doubting the 'Free Speech Absolutist's' fascist stances, here's your proof.

Looks like @daliahasanmd.bsky.social lost all of their followers over at The Bad Place(tm). No explanation. I expect this to happen more frequently alongside the algo games we've seen go on the past weeks and months. I wouldn't bet on it.
