My brand new documentary for @Channel4 exploring online therapy platforms like BetterHelp, who promise that their online therapy is “accessible, affordable and convenient”. But does the promise match up to reality? youtube.com/watch?v=L9qNiF…
Breaking/ Appalling news that @DHSCgovuk has decided to stop funding mental health services for hospital doctors from Monday. When I was broken & traumatised during Covid, sessions with an @NHSPracHealth psychologist helped me back on my feet. How can the govt suspend this?

A. Truly. Superb. Thread. On Psychotherapy. 👇
A. Truly. Superb. Thread. On Psychotherapy. 👇
The next time I come across a doctor or psychologist that doesn't "believe" in M.E. I am going to respond by saying "oh, I didn't realise you were into conspiracy theories" What is the difference between these people and those who say they don't believe in Covid?
One shocking statistic from our latest report: Having persistent mental health problems makes people much more likely to experience difficulty with their finances - over 9 times as likely as someone who hasn’t experienced a mental health problem. 📈

“Can we stop trying to shove the round peg of psychology into the square hole of a broken healthcare system? Can psychology define for itself what we treat & how we treat it, instead of forcing ourselves into misshapen slots defined by healthcare systems? psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psycho…
1/ Truth is, many patients do not come to therapy to change. Not really. They may say & think they want to change. It soon becomes evident they want to continue being exactly the person they have been, and living life in the same self-limiting ways, but 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 better doing it.
Mental healthcare is going in 2 directions: 1) quantitative: quick-fix & tech-focused 2) qualitative: investment-based & relationship-focused 1 is compelling. It colludes with our wish for things to be simple. But we are not simple. For real support & real change, go with 2 🙌
What therapists do when they don't actually know how to do psychotherapy -give advice -act like cheerleaders -make mawkish displays of "empathy" -validate & affirm everything -find a worksheet -try to reason with client -"psychoeducate" -follow a manual please add to the list!
Think of therapy as a verb instead of a noun. You’re not there to ‘do a treatment.’ Your job is to 𝑏𝑒 therapeutic. - Miller, Hubble, Chow (2020). 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑠

2 years ago today Long Covid Support and @LongCovidKids created a Long Covid information leaflet. It is sadly as relevant now as it was then. Please share widely to ensure that everyone can get the support they need. Link here - longcovid.org/information-le… #LongCovid #LongCovidKids
/2 My advice for people looking for therapy: don't choose a therapist based on a therapy brand. You literally have no idea what you're getting Choose the therapist. Always. Find the person with the most expertise If you need a specific treatment approach, *they'll tell you*
"The study's conclusions came as a shock to academic researchers who studied and promoted brief therapies—therapy takes time. Meaningful change began at about the six-month mark, and clients who stayed in therapy for a year did substantially better" psychotherapynetworker.org/article/tyrann…
Delighted to have made this contribution, in today’s Guardian, discussing a recent paper published with colleagues on the effect of verbal abuse on children theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A. Truly. Superb. Thread. On Psychotherapy. 👇
1/ The goal of psychotherapy is to insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed—and thereby create opportunities to know ourselves more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more congruently
1/ The goal of legit psychotherapy is to live fully & freely, with meaning, passion, and pleasure Remember passion & pleasure? No, most of the mental health profession has long forgotten. For too many, the goal seems to be a sterile cardboard facsimile of "mental health,”
Yeah the clinical psychologists often hate it but few words speak neoliberalism to me more than being told I am a client in a system where as patients we have little choice. Its about psychology's 'we are nicer than psychiatry' complex imho 😂
Easy. I practice psychotherapy aimed at real psychological change & have the satisfaction of seeing lives change in meaningful ways. I no longer work in “systems" so answer only to myself & my pts. I teach/supervise/write, so never monotonous. It took a looong time to get here 1/
@JonathanShedler I’d love to know how you’ve managed to keep your passion for real psychotherapy alive and not been worn down by a broken system. How do you do it; and what are your main motivators on the days when undoubtedly you must feel like deleting twitter and leaving the ignorant to it?
