Now we are making a #RelationalLearning cake! 🍰 #BIGSPD25

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

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
June 10, 2025 at 1:58 PM
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 = 🤮🤮🤮

There are some great papers being referenced in this talk. One uses the word Bullshitisation in its title. What an absolutely incredible word. I need a reading list.

Btw: #Goals: to write a paper with a sweary title. Hell, a book too…

Can we discuss even when we are angry and need to shout at each other a bit?
#MadPeople have historically been told they are too irrational to be able to even have discussions. So after constant #gaslighting, how are we supposed to have discussions knowing the legacy of this still exists? #BIGSPD25
June 10, 2025 at 1:25 PM
‘War is Peace’
‘Freedom is Slavery’
‘Knowledge is Ignorance’

If there is a voice that is not served in the mainstream, it will always pop up as a group elsewhere
