22.01.2022 A win for BPD. A few months ago I wrote to the Australian BPD foundation about a textbook written for health professionals. A section in this book was poorly written and misinformed about people with BPD. In partnership, we wrote to the authors and editors about the stigma contained in this section. ... This week I found out that this section of the book will no longer be included in the future and has been redacted. Sometimes I have to choose the battles with my advocacy work and my efforts do not always work out. But when they do they feel mighty good!! P.S I’m having a bonfire this weekend if anyone wants to come #saythequitethingsloud #advocacy #borderlinepersonalitydisorderawareness #speakout

16.01.2022 My personal view of PD is that its like an old car or house, however grand the restoration, day to day maintenance is necessary to preserve it. Living with PD can be a roller-coaster but its probably possible, in fact, its certainly possible, to have a meaningful life - Gordon (Haigh, 2006)

09.01.2022 "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet. "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." ..."That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending thoughts to everyone having a Difficult Day today. May you have your own Piglet to sit beside you

04.01.2022 Exploring the Dark Side of Occupation in more detail this episode, Rina and I delve into the world of harm minimisation. A question that I've been asked by many... students is how can you work with someone who is "using illicit substances" when its "illegal". When is "getting off" or "staying off" drugs not the goal? By not addressing these things are you encouraging it? These are the ethical grey areas that many students and clinicians have toyed with when moving into mental health or dual diagnosis settings See more
