This is great news! Hoping you’re elected and can help steer BACP in a sensible direction. Thank you for standing.

Hi Jeremy, I watched the recording of session 2 today (sadly couldn’t attend live) and I just wanted to thank you for such a careful, compassionate & detailed training session. Really inspiring and I learnt a lot. Has really cemented my interest in CSA and how we work with clients w/ that history.

It must be, surely not just me 😂

👀😬

Dedication!

Gorgeous! So pleasing. Wish my papers were so well filed!

Consider your day made in that case. Such important work you’re doing 💙

I’m so glad to find you on Bluesky - I wanted to write and thank you for this. I so enjoyed your segment; it spoke so accurately to my experiences, 6m into motherhood. Your impassioned points about the experience gap and the way fathers can just go out really resonated. I will seek out your book!

Thank you both @jogil.bsky.social and @alejandrahope.bsky.social for these thoughts - I so enjoy reading things on here which make me think - hard - about among other things, my practice, my intake forms, and my blind spots. You’re making me (hopefully) a better therapist!

I think for me it goes beyond that attentive and curious listening, and covers the mental space I have for my clients, holding them in mind, and for them to ‘be’ both in and out of sessions. It’s the internal work and thinking I’m doing about them, whenever that might happen.

What a joyous read. Congratulations @bitesizetherapy.bsky.social

Simple perhaps, but not often done - to the point that I didn’t realise how helpful that kind of information was for me until I received it and read it. Really put me at ease to know what to expect. Thank you again and really looking forward to it ☺️

Would be fascinating to know what their plans are for staying financially viable and producing high-quality clinicians, while expanding access.

But I don’t know how all those things be made accessible w/o analysts working for free. I genuinely don’t know what the answer is!

I totally agree! I’m really not sure how they can increase diversity with the trainings as they are - nor what should/could change. I think it’s right that analysts have their own depth analyses (£££), intensive supervision & clinical discussion…

It’s such a huge commitment in so many ways isn’t it? I was reading the SAPP requirements and you have to have four times a week analysis…! How people do it with families/jobs/caring commitments I’ll never know.

Also, any advice for someone wanting to eventually do analytic training - how to prepare etc - would be very much appreciated too!
