An actual Psychologist (DPsych), conscious of the ways psychology replicates and reinforces the power imbalances and prejudices of the culture in which it developed.
Voting Reform in the UK to get

fair wages, a working NHS, affordable housing, a decent pension and fair laws

is like employing a crocodile as a lifeguard.

Psychology doesn't say that.

Psychology doesn’t tell us that everything happens for a reason

That's a comforting idea from certain philosophies, but there is no evidence for it.

Psychology is about asking why things happen, how we make meaning, and how we survive hardship. (1/2)

Psychology didn't say that.

Grief & loss unfold differently for everyone.

Some people begin to feel lighter after a few months. Others carry ache for years.

Healing isn’t linear. You might feel OK one day & hit a wave of sadness the next.

Be gentle with yourself. You’ll heal in your own time.
