The UK has higher rates of health related worklessness than most comparable economies. In tackling this, the government should be careful to not drive people into more poverty, stigma, and ill health, and thereby further away from employment @profbambra.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Getting real about our mistakes & regrets in trauma recovery means being willing to view our past choices through the lens of our vulnerability at the time-- & to remember that explanations are not excuses. Realism, accountability, & grace can coexist. Indeed, they have to.

In my experience, learning the stories of people who recovered from their own trauma-- even if nether they nor their trauma especially resemble mine-- can be a game changer in designing strategies & adapting tools to my own struggles & goals. Read. Listen. Seek models.

Our paper on the impact of living with multiple long-term conditions on everyday life: a qualitative evidence synthesis. The 'work' is not only around medications and healthcare use, it is also emotional & financial with lots of learning & adaptation bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

DWP not only attempts to reassure by saying that a human oversees the final decision (being devoid of biases 🙄) “But no fairness analysis has yet been undertaken in respect of potential bias centring on race, sex, sexual orientation & religion, or pregnancy, maternity & gender reassignment status”

Yes, you've survived storms-- but that doesn't mean you're "crazy" or "weak" for being destabilized by raindrops now. This is just how trauma works. No shame, no belittling yourself-- meet it w/ compassion & patience. Breathe; blink; focus-- & just do the next right thing.

We didn't survive this long or this much pain in order to settle for a "meh" life or relationship. I will die on the hill of: trauma recovery that doesn't help us realistically create & enjoy a life we value is incomplete.

Young people aren’t hyping their mental health. They’re not dwelling or ‘focusing too much on their feelings’. They’re more aware & good for them. We had similar issues but we couldn’t vocalise them even to ourselves. We sucked it up with consequences. We have survivor bias, others weren’t so lucky.

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
