Hi @MindCharity@mentalhealth appreciate what you do for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek But...last year I highlighted a need for info to explain differences between good/poor mental health & living with a serious condition. It’s v upsetting when little is available on #NHS for SMI
People like myself (ves) have taken to National TV and Radio to try and raise awareness of the lack of #NHS support for diagnosis, therapy & proper crisis support for #DID & other Dissociative Disorders. It’s a national disgrace & a challenge the world over.
If you could do one thing for me (us) and on behalf of the community struggling with #DID as a result of childhood trauma. Please listen and share this interview I gave on BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
To help with time please navigate to 1:10:25 in. It is only available for 12 more days. That still allows for it to be shared during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2021 if you need anyone with loved experience to take any media enquires, I’ll do all I can.
Please lobby Government for ‘Personal Health Budgets’ to be provided for those with #DID & other Dissociative Disorders so we can work with appropriately trained therapists. We are sadly one of the groups at highest risk of needing emergency treatment due to lack of support.
Unashamedly asking for a RT.
Two BBC radio stations have kindly given air time to me sharing experiences of living with #DisscociativeIdentityDisorder.
Listen again still up ATM so PLEASE tune in & share. Radio silence gives air to stigma & these interviews help change that #DID
Whilst numerous books about #DID exist, #TGW provides something quite different from most. Written in an accessible diary style and fully referenced, it provides a rare insight into the client /therapist relationship.
All of her internal family system, gave their full blessing to #GillFrost to publish the book via @firingthemind and in fact a child part said about the idea of writing a book; “If it would help the boys and girls who’ve had horrid things happen to them, then that’s good”
