If we're going to realistically recover from CPTSD, we need to communicate to our nervous system, our "parts," & our inner child, w/ every decision we make: I am on your side. I can & will listen to you. I will not turn on you. I will not abandon you.
No matter what.

This study shows that when in doubt of necessity, do not section a person as it causes more harm.
In my opinion this is because taking away autonomy reinforces existing trauma. Practices need to become truly patient-centered, which involves ditching the culture of risk and liability.

Groundbreaking Analysis Upends Our Understanding of Psychiatric Holds
In situations where some physicians would admit involuntarily but others would not, holding patients against their will leaves them worse off.

Access to Work support slashed, NOT supporting us to work. Together with proposed PIP cuts, confirms UK Government attack on disabled people. I was given 32 week wait for AtW. Luckily my workplace agreed my adjustments, or I could not work either.

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychology—unlike most MPs—I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t “incentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP
DWP boss just said Universal Credit gives disabled people 'perverse incentives' not to work
Liz Kendall's shocking comments came just as a new report slams the DWP for failing vulnerable claimants.
So which is it???

Labour has a vision of a good disabled person, who has a positive attitude and therefore works full time in a nice professional job and doesn’t need benefits. Everyone else has a negative attitude and is probably encouraged not to work by “perverse incentives”.

Yesterday I got hacked and robbed. This morning, I received this message on my phone: "Your $2,500 can be returned — but only if you stop reporting on Palestine. There are plenty of other things you could focus on. Keep digging into this, and it won’t just be your money at risk."

Many employment specialists didn’t embed the tool fully into practice, highlighting a big gap: we need to support staff to feel confident tackling the disclosure dilemma and reduce stigma.

A small group of people control everyone's ability to earn and that group scratches each others' backs to make sure they get first dibs on the lion's share of a company's profits before the leftovers get passed on to the workers who generated the wealth. I don't think the problem is just modern.

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.
