Even to this day, I'm still glad to have a first degree in medical sociology - as a psychotherapist there isn't a day I don't read sociology into the mental health conditions.

What I say to clients struggling with people-pleasing:
Your kindness is not a free pass. You wouldn't work for free, so why are you letting people take advantage of your emotional labour?

Just saw a decision to a manuscript as a reviewer. I feel for the author. I’m not an especially generous reviewer, but it’s troubling to see peer review turn into a platform for personal opinion rather than a constructive evaluation of the work itself…

So much going on that every conversation lately touches on some forms of existential dread or anxiety. Giving yourself the permission to unplug isn’t indifference. It's self-empathy. We can't pour from an empty cup, and we can't help others if we're drowning ourselves.

Great editorial opening on the latest special issue! As a contributor, good to see different takes on the topic! Read David & Liz’s piece first - then read Barry and me (same issue) to further complicate and expand the thinking on #nationalism!

“The Role of Nationalism in the Appeal of the Far Right” is now out. We show how banal nationalism creates the conditions for the rise of far-right populism, which exploits social alienation & economic hardship to blame outsiders for national decline

As a shrink, I see the #DisabilityBenefits cuts hit like a tsunami: suicidal ideation up, hope drowned. £5.5bn saved on paper, but the human cost? Unaccountable. This proposed policy is stoppable - please write to your MP today. #WelfareNotWarfare

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

There’s a part of us that seeks to be ‘right’ rather than finding peace within ourselves. Choosing peace over self-righteousness is a radical act - one that requires humility and the courage to recognise that relationships and differences often hold greater value than proving a point

Adam Phillips and Avgi Saketopoulou: In Conversation
Phillips to Avgi: "What do you hate about psychoanalysis?"
A rare kind of playful jousting and intellectual flirting between two thoughtful psychoanalysts by @redclinic.bsky.social. Each person always expanding the conversation in new directions. Highly recommend.
