This morning at #BIGSPD25 I'm presenting on the action/consequences model, a thinking tool for working with recurrent suicidality.
A longer recording of me talking about it is available here: youtu.be/sC3CVq10XCM?...

Desensitisation to risk can lead to clinical complacency! Something to reflect upon from @danwarrender.bsky.social

The action/consequences model @danwarrender.bsky.social #BIGSPD25

How much mental health do mental health services produce? Question for pondering from @danwarrender.bsky.social #BIGSPD25

Locating Meaning: a qualitative analysis of the psychological and clinical significance of the location of self-injury on the body. Fascinating presentation by @dr-kjgardner.bsky.social some questions to improve clinicians practice! #BIGSPD25

Unless professionals are willing to mentalize and understand the perspectives of people with PD and trauma experiences, treatment will not be effective

#BIGSPD25

Mentalizing involves:
I mode - how we understand ourselves and others.
Me mode - When understand how others see us.
We mode - Coming together and a shared understanding, which leads to co-mentalizing. Essential for effective communication. #BIGSPD25

Putting a dog in a slide definitely gets my attention. But did you know dogs are good at mentalizing humans? Other dogs. . . Not so much! #BIGSPD25

Starting the 2nd day off strong with @pfonagy.bsky.social recognising the stigma of the label of “personality disorder” and not being a fan of this term. #BIGSPD25

Getting some movement in ready for day 2 at #BIGSPD25

Dr Dennis talking about the work of M. Fakhry Davids on internal racism. Explaining that we all have this part and the way to bring about change is the socialisation with “others”. Whatever others mean to you and encouraging us to reflect on what comes up for us when thinking about this 🤯 #BIGSPD25

Containing the containers!
Maxine Dennis #BIGSPD25

Let’s talk about the global majority not “ethnic minority”. Thank you Maxine Dennis for opening your talk with this premise! #BIGSPD25

Some of the take home points from:
@mickmckeown24.bsky.social
- We can claw ourselves out of the pits of despair to hope.
- It’s communication that changes the world.
- We need to do risk assessments as humans not robots.
- If we aren’t alarmed by something we are complicit.
#BIGSPD25

New word learnt bullshitisation. Thank you @mickmckeown24.bsky.social #BIGSPD25

Just get on and cook, what does that mean to you in relation to relational practice? #BIGSPD25

The #BIGSPD25 is open!

Packing for the #bigspd2025 and unsure what to wear for the gala dinner, any ideas welcome!

And what do we say to them?
