Is it trauma informed care or retraumatising care? ✍️🏽

Despite multiple trainings and workshops encouraging trauma informed care, many of our systems and actions do quite the opposite.
Bouncing servive users around services, telling them they are not 'appropriate' for a treatment, excluding those with a personality disorder diagnosis or 'flagging' them on the system as 'high risk' and therefore to avoid.

This research is dedicated to all those who so humbly yet courageously facilitate ToL, touching uncountable numbers of lives around the globe.
To the nineteen participants who so generously shared themselves and their work, my profound gratitude. Thank you. [2/24]

Global MH care has been critiqued, #TreeOfLife has potential to bridge gaps: more community-centred, collab care. We're starting to understand practitioner exp in narrative therapy but little known about ToL & impact of this way of working [3/24]

We had #dclinpsy teaching on 'Personality Disorder' on Monday and it's been on my mind ever since as I can't see past the illogical falacies presented.
The speaker recognised that 'PD' is a contentious diagnosis that's highly stigmatising. They agreed that it's inappropriate to give anyone under 18 the diagnosis as it 'stays with them for life.' Instead, they felt that 'emerging PD' was more appropriate (whatever that is)
So why is it, acknowledging it as a stigmatising label that stays with people, inappropriate to give this diagnosis to a child, but fine once you turn 18/25? What changes? Do people over 18 not deserve compassion?
