When children grow up with constant criticism, they don’t stop loving their parents — they stop loving themselves.
Love and forgiveness aren’t luxuries in parenting; they’re lessons in self-worth.
Kids don’t need perfect parents — they need repair, not rejection. 💛

Brilliant to receive a standing ovation for my Keynote address this morning at the Rural Medicine Australia conference in
Perth this morning on “Why close the gap is fundamentally flawed: why we are failing our most vulnerable”
It was a big room & the ovation went on a while #humbled

Can't believe RFK Jr didn't win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding that Tylenol and circumcision cause autism.
Decades of studies run by the most preeminent scientists in the world have failed to find what someone with no medical training discovered in a few months.
🙄🙄🙄
Yes this is sarcasm.

Just finished @drtracywesterman.bsky.social incredible book Jilya. Powerful narrative on her transformational work in mental health and trauma, and the failure of national system to support Aboriginal Australians in culturally appripoetae ways.

Suffering can paradoxically have transformative power.
Post-trauma the brain is most capable of making significant changes, reorganizing & recovering.
Post-traumatic growth is a psychological transformation that follows stress & finds purpose in pain.
