Happy to chat if you want. I can tell you how I got all diva like.

I’m really pleased with this. Sue is ace 🏆🏆🏆

Well you’ll be disappointed!

In a surprising start to my day I think I’m going to be talking to Wes Streeting around 9am on LBC radio 😊

Looking out over Blackpool while at the British and Irish Group for the Stufy of Personality Disorder annual residential meeting. Planning next years conference & blending who we want to speak with what themes we want and who could spark a debate around them.

What should we focus on? #BIGSPD26

An Overview of ‘Personality Disorder’ — Beam Consultancy This is a little collection I put together for the people I was training with the other week.  I’m sure there are loads of gaps so if you think something essential is missing do let me know.&nbsp...

It is BPD awareness week (or it was last week depending on who you ask). While there’s no need to tell any survivors of trauma that their personality is disordered, here’s some useful things

I’m very interested in people and helping them, just the labels don’t help.

Very few people at BIGSPD think the label is useful.

Once it’s gone BIGSPD can carry on thinking about those MH care struggles to help as it already does, just without that toxic label 😊

It’s a lazy answer but…I’m not that interested in the other PDs as no one ever diagnoses them. 25 years in MH and they’ve never been a part of my work.

BIGSPD had a vote on getting rid of the PD but a few years back. Lost by a tiny amount. It will go one day.

That will be interesting

It not a valid construct and if it was it’s applied appallingly.

We recognise it’s invalid and come up with different ways of describing distress. If nothing else I’d say those who “have BPD” that have survived severe abuse have different difficulties to those who have not.

Great to see🥰👏

Thank you ☺️

And while I appreciate there might be a “how lucky we are that a man has explained his process on my thread” vibe to this reply, I’m very confident that I don’t do it “right”.

Where is the writing focused ? Is there a notebook? Many notebooks? Does the laptop live near the inspiration books?

I find myself scribbling in multiple books and adding notes to my phone then putting them into action anywhere until they’re allowed in the “finished” notebook.

I know a lot of people criticise psychiatry and I think that is often because it is the profession with the most power which can then be misused.

This example, that suggests objecting to survivors of abuse being told their personalities are disordered is a form of madness, is a prime example
