This year I made the conscious choice to step away from the "pyramid selling" of most psychotherapy cpd and instead take deep dives into meaningful cpd. Today is a wonderful theraputic writing workshop @dilstonphysicgarden #therapistsconnect #ecotherapy #writing #writingforwellbeing

As therapists its so important that we nurture ourselves so we can nurture others - so a deep dive into queer joy was just what was needed today as the UK continues to increase its hostility towards queer people #therapysky #therapistsconnect #queerjoy #queerjoyisresistance
