Professor Ad de Jongh states treating people for trauma vs traditional treatment personality disorder so well that they didn’t fall into the diagnostic criteria and there was a low dropout rate. Intensive #EMDR has been recorded as having as 90% success rate. #BIGSPD

We are now listening to Ad de Jongh, Professor at the University of Amsterdam. The man has written over 500 papers!!! His #BIGSPD26 discusses how CPTSD is a strong crossover with #PersonalityDisorder. He worked with a service to research and published.

Questions section about silos from audience for first speaker, who works with the Blackpool NHS service. She asked why the service isn’t well known outside its remit, and if it will be grown to link to other services later. #BIGSPD26 Hard to to do with NHS budgets!

It’s #BIGSPD26. My last BIGSPD as an exec member. I’ve got a fabulous 4* theatre session “Troubled” to chair with Suzy Crowthers and @anniesutton.bsky.social

I’ve never ever ever been able to win one of these crochet elves! 🧝🏼‍♀️ One year I came close but @keirwales.bsky.social beat me. @helenjolly.bsky.social (I hope this is the right Helen Jolly!) took pity on me & knitted me the most gorjuss little girl elf 🧝🏼‍♀️ Sadly she went up in smoke in my house fire… 😢

There isn’t a definitive model that is attributable to #RelationalCare. A scoping review of 158 articles of basically said: we dunno exactly what it is, but it’s a good thing! #BIGSPD25

Just finished an activity on the relational vs non-relational care, with
‘Tableau’s’ as the discussion piece for each group. Better than flip charts! #BIGSPD25

A video from a 1979 article in the #NursingMirror. A nurse wrote an example of ‘Ann’, moving from an angry but subservient person to a person whose relationships moved to a more healthy one. It’s always moving to hear when someone feels happier in life, vs many ppl’s lifetime of pain #BIGSPD25

Ooh! Activity! #BIGSPD25

Lots of interesting questions after watching the video about the @casselhosptrust.bsky.social’s #TherapeuticCommunity model. I asked about ethnic diversity and how the model works with ppl & racism. Answer: few referrals, so gaps in model for ppl ethnically marginalised. #BIGSPD25
June 10, 2025 at 3:27 PM
I’ve always wondered about the #therapeuticcommunity at the @casselhosptrust.bsky.social. It’s good hearing a few insights about it on excerpts from their Centenary film ‘Hospital in the Mind’ #BIGSPD25

Oooh. What will be doing with the crayon and the post it note?! 😜 #BIGSPD25

I felt hurt in my stomach hearing about how groups
psychological violent to the lowest common denominator to the point that the group don’t even recognise it. It’s the group theory that is too close to home #BIGSPD25
June 10, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Reference to the title ‘containing the container’. The container = the therapist. How are they contained - held, supervised, continuous CPD, ensuring psychological violence is not enacting on service users #BIGSPD25

Next up: Maxine Dennis. I love her already. #TheGlobalMajority is the term she uses vs ‘ethnic minority’. The difference between how Global Majority ppl enter services (higher involuntary) and seen as older, treated harsher than others #BIGSPD25

Btw, I’m new to @bsky.app, so anyone at #BIGSPD25, please follow me and I’ll follow you back so I can find ‘my people’. I am mourning the death 💀 of #Twitter #X & #ElonMusk = 🤮🤮🤮
