Forever grateful to the psychiatrist who explicitly and frequently underlined in my notes that I don’t have a personality disorder.

But still.. being able to articulate self control and discernment is important to avoid a new professional overriding this.

I mean that was giving irony beforehand.. but nice to see it gets regularly refreshed 😑

Unnecessarily vague really.

It may be hitting against the no dual therapies stance but there may not be a blanket policy on this.

In my service, we work alongside substance misuse orgs not instead of them. There is not the provision to safely support the client- but there are specialists.

A quiz told me I was Hades 🤷‍♀️ Ive been playing hades and watching lucifer… the signs were all there 🤣

Thanks :) Yeah, my interest is in the overuse of lucid dreaming. Particularly as there’s been a push to create apps that support the development and sustainment of lucid dreaming.

For now, there is only anecdotal data. I should think about writing it up 😅

Anything on the problems of lucid dreaming?

I couldn’t research the subject at undergraduate level but would be good to see if theres been developments :)

Would highly recommend that book. Very few texts manage to capture what it feels like to be in that situation. It is unsanitised and that is the important part for professionals to see.

I’ve had 8 yrs of trauma therapy with a clinical psychologist plus other interventions. Been on an antidepressant about 15 years. This, with the new addition of ADHD med, is why i am finally able to expand my emotional expression without dissociation.

This is being holistic..not everything but meds

Therapy definitely has side effects just like medication. In many ways, therapy can be more destabilising, by necessity.

Why, in a world where there is potential to access both, is there the incessant drive for the One True Cure 🙄🙄🙄

When its been particularly tough, I will watch videos of babies laughing or cats being cats. They get through all the barriers that might make socialising or talking about it difficult.

Then theres creative exploits, hugs, therapy. Whatever you need 🙂 (2/2)

As someone working with recent history horrors, I would say that it is necessary to reconnect yourself to your community or your self. Vicarious trauma is a risk but it is mitigated by having support structures that keep you connected. (1/2)

No problem :) I was just thinking of people who may fit your networking need for ideas. I’ll be interested to hear about any initiatives you guys come up with
