Where we are born into struggle, we are charged with reclaiming our dignity, joy and liberation
Solidarity does not assume that our struggles are the same struggles, or that our pain is the same pain, or that our hope is for the same future
Solidarity requires commitment, and work, as well as the recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings, or the same lives, or the same bodies, we do live on common ground

In addition, global outcome for the group of patients with schizophrenia who were on antipsychotics was compared with the off- medication schizophrenia patients with similar prognostic status
Starting with the 45-year follow-up and extending to the 15- year follow-up
the off-medication subgroup tended to show better global outcomes at each follow up
I conclude that patients with schizophrenia not on antipsychotic medication for a long
period of time have significantly better global functioning than those on antipsychotics

Self- development
Our perspective on just about everything comes from the psychological cage we’ve been conditioned to live in
A cage created by
A difficult or disappointing experience
A privileged or sheltered life
Social influence
Pop-culture and mass-media stereotyping
And the list goes on
Gradually, unbeknownst to us, our cage—our conditioning—drains our mental energy, leaving us vulnerable to bad decision making
When we were young, we saw the world through simple, hopeful eyes
We knew what we wanted and we had no biases or concealed agendas
We liked people who smiled
We avoided people who frowned
We ate when we were hungry, drank when we were thirsty, and slept when we were tired
As we grew older our minds became gradually disillusioned by negative external influences
At some point we began to hesitate and question our instincts
Healing in Your Relationships
If you don’t allow yourself to move past what happened, what was said, what was felt, you will look at your present and future through that same dirty lens, and nothing will be able to focus your foggy judgment
Always be kinder than necessary
Forgive yourself for the bad decisions you made, for the times you lacked clarity, for the choices that hurt others and yourself
Some chapters in our lives have to close without closure
Be careful not to dehumanize people you disagree with
Being kind to someone you dislike doesn’t mean you’re fake
People tend to be more thoughtful and kinder when they have found a little happiness and peace of mind
How can I respond from a place of clarity and strength,
rather than continuing to react in anger and frustration to the painful experiences I've been forced to live through
Think about that question for a moment
Read it again, and sit with it
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, pause for a few seconds, take a few deep breaths, and make space for a healthy change of state—for something new to enter
It's time to consciously redirect your focus by taking it away from something unchangeable that drags you down, and instead zero it in on something small and actionable that moves you forward in the present moment
4 Hard Choices that Make You Happier in the Long Run
You can choose to be present when it would be easier to pick up your phone
You can choose to do a workout when it would be more comfortable to sit around
You can choose to create something special when it would be quicker to consume something mediocre
You can choose to invest in yourself when it would take less effort to procrastinate
Let Your Inner Child Out
Sometimes the grown up in you needs a break
So, every now and then, release your inner child and enjoy some carefree fun
See the world with childlike wonder
Ask lots of questions
Revisit one of your favourite childhood books or movies
How will you let your inner child come out to play
All You Need Is Less
If you're wanting more love, more peace, more meaning, more focus, you'll probably find that all you need is, less
Less expectations, less talk, less buying, less thinking, less stuff, less stress…
Are you ready for less
Involving Others in Decisions
How often do you involve others in the decision-making process
It makes sense to include those who are impacted by the decisions,
or those who will implement those decision
It increases their engagement and responsibility,
and having various perspectives can only lead to better outcomes
But involving others in decision-making takes time and resources
How do you figure out when to Involve others in the decision making, and when not to
Nourish with Happiness
Apparently, there is no nourishment like happiness
So are you nourishing yourself with happiness
Here are 3 ways to nourish yourself with happiness, everyday:
1) Feed yourself a dose of laughter (a good joke or a funny video clip)
2) Engage in one activity that makes you happy (gardening or cooking)
3) Create space to feel happy (a dose of gratitude or meditation)
Be Present to Prevent Stress
Whenever you find yourself stressing about getting things done or what’s going to happen
try this: be present
Firstly, become present to your emotions
your stress
and then, become present to what you’re doing and where you are
Be present and you may find that it helps you to feel less stressed
more relaxed
and be more effective and productive
Be more present and in the long term, you'll increase your stress resilience, and may even prevent feeling stressed
Growing through Life
Are you just going through life or are you growing through life
If you feel like you’re just going through the routine of life, nothing probably seems excitin
Why not grow through what you go through
Grow through life, and you'll most likely find learning and excitement even in the routine
Dreams Need Courage
No matter how much you’ve achieved or accomplished,
there’s always much more to explore
So have the courage to dream
Have the courage to define your dream clearly,
to go beyond any obstacles and reach for your dream,
even when you can't see what lies ahead
Dream and have the courage to make life an adventure worth exploring
Walk in Someone's Shoes
You know the saying about walking a mile in someone else’s shoes before judging them
Next time someone's being difficult, leave your opinions, assumptions and emotions aside for just a couple of minutes
Then, figuratively walk in their shoes, that is, try to see things from their perspective to understand where they're coming from
Even if we walk a mile in someone’s shoes,
we still can't judge them because we can never really know the reasoning behind someone's actions or what it’s like to be that person
So, just try to understand others as much as you can
The Three Questions
When you're confused and unsure about a decision, ask yourself three questions:
Who am I?
What is important to me?
What is my purpose?
The answers that arise will most probably lead you to clarity
Point of Light
If you're feeling low in energy, low in mood, try this simple meditation:
Bring your attention up through your body to a point in the middle of the forehead,
just above and behind the eyes, behind the mind
Begin to experience yourself as a point of concentrated energy,
a spark of light, full of radiance and positive energy
Feeling good, feeling re-energised, you’re ready to move on to whatever's next
Peace of Mind
Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are
For your peace of mind, can you let go of what you want others to do or how you want them to be?
Can you accept everyone as they are?
Peace Takeaway
Sometimes it seems as if someone or something can so easily take away our peace
But actually, no one and nothing can take away our peace because peace is our natural state of being
Next time it feels like someone or something has taken away your peace, understand that you just got pulled away from your peace
Then, pull your attention away from everything else and return back to your natural state of peace
The Seed of Life
We are like a tree
the seed is the essence of who we are
our life-force
and our branches represent work, family, friends, health, dreams, ambitions
When the seed is vibrant, our life-force pulses through each branch to every single leaf
So, extend your branches in a joyful gesture and celebrate life
And when you feel overwhelmed by it all, concentrate on the seed and you’ll revitalise everything
What Are You Focusing On?
If you’re feeling anxious, ask yourself how much you are focusing on things that are outside your control
Every time you start focusing on what’s outside your control
gently bring your focus back to what is within your control
Do this and you'll start to feel less anxiety and more peace, and increase your capacity to deal with things
A therapist’s guide to self-care
Self-care is the practice of taking action to improve your health
We can do this regularly or just from time to time, but it’s important to turn this abstract concept into a concrete goal
I've written a blog on the ‘6 domains of self-care’, including my top tips on how to give yourself a little love
Physical self-care
This is about taking care of our physical body and getting back to basics
Eat regularly and in a way that nourishes your body
Exercise regularly
Boost your sleep
Psychological self-care
We all know it is important to take care of our mind
This might include seeing mental health professionals or simply doing things to help us recharge
Turn off phone notifications
Keep scheduled therapy appointments
Take time for reflection
Emotional self-care
This involves your relationship with yourself
Check in with your feelings and see how you’re doing
Keep a journal
Vent your frustrations
Engage in opportunities to create happiness

3 simple techniques to help improve your breathing
Breathing control
This means just breathing easily, using the least effort
It helps you to relax
Place your hand on your tummy, below your ribs
Feel your tummy rise and fall as you breathe gently through your nose
Let go of any tension, just breathe as you need to
Deep breathing
This helps to fill the lower areas of your lungs
Take a long, slow deep breath in
At the end of the breath in, hold the air for 2 to 3 seconds before letting the air out gently
Try to keep your shoulders relaxed
Repeat for 3 or 4 deep breaths
Huffing
This is a way of clearing mucus from your lungs
Take a breath in and then breathe it out quickly through your mouth, as if trying to mist up a mirror
Once any mucus has moved upwards, you should find it easier to cough it out But there is no need to try and force up mucus
Always finish with more relaxed breathing control (exercise 1) after the huffing exercise
A to Zzz our top tips for a good night's sleep
Be consistent
Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day – and avoid napping throughout the day, if possible
Create the right environment
When it is time for sleep, make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark and cool
(The NHS recommends 18-24C for adults and 16-20C for children)
Have a change of scene
If you find yourself unable to fall asleep, get out of bed and do something relaxing elsewhere
Try reading or drinking some non-caffeinated herbal tea, and stay off social media and news sites, which can often be

International Women’s Day
A day in the community where we celebrate and empower women
Unfortunately, for women in prison, today won’t be a day for celebrations
There were almost 5,000 receptions of women into prison last year, and more than half of them were for women on remand
Too many women are being swept up into the justice system when it is not necessary or appropriate
Most women in prison have a history of childhood abuse or trauma, they need a safe space and support

In many respects the Government’s plans laid out in the Queen’s Speech are even worse than anticipated
They include:
A so-called ‘Bill of Rights’
which would scrap the Human Rights Act and remove obligations on public bodies like local councils and government departments to treat people fairly
A Public Order Bill
which would force through the anti-protest measures that our mass public resistance defeated just a few months ago, such as criminalising ‘lock-on’ protests
A National Security Bill
handing state security services even more power and potentially threatening the work of journalists who uncover dark truths
Even after it suffered stinging defeats in the last Parliament, the Government is returning to force through unwanted and unpopular policies

And it's not about improving their lives in any way

It couldn't be clearer that tackling the cost of living crisis requires a bold approach
This has to include higher taxes on both companies and the wealthy
The cost of living crisis affects ordinary individuals and families who struggle to make ends meet as prices soar for essential goods and services while wages struggle to keep pace
Meanwhile, wealthy corporations have seen their profits skyrocket during these challenging times
This discrepancy highlights the urgent need for systemic change

10 November 2022 – Report - Key perinatal mental health findings
40%of deaths within the year after pregnancy were from mental health-related causes
Suicide remains the leading cause of direct maternal death in the first postnatal year
Suicide during pregnancy or up to six weeks after is increasing:
In 2020, women were three times more likely to die by suicide during this period compared to 2017-19
Very few women who died by suicide in 2020 had formal mental health diagnoses, but significant numbers had a history of trauma

In the UK, people with brown skin are being denied equal and compassionate mental health care
They are more likely to be brought to and kept in hospital without their consent
They are more likely to access mental health services through the police and criminal justice systems, and to find themselves unwell and back again once released
People with brown skin, particularly men, are more likely to be forcibly restrained and given more than the recommended amount of medication

DIALOG+ and the Recovery Star
Dear Friends,
I was wondering if you have experience of either DIALOG+ or the Recovery Star
(or other stars – more about those here:History of the star+Recovery star 4)
There was an element of co-production in the Recovery Star for Mental Health, and there has since been an Un-Recovery Star, also from the user-survivor movement which outlines the things that work against our recovery
These are the questions that the DIALOG
tool asks
and these are the areas of the 4th Edition Recovery star
Note that it used to contain “work” but this has been dropped now
The Recovery Star covers ten outcome areas:
Managing mental health
Physical health
Living skills
Friends and community
Use of time
Relationships
Addictive behaviour
Home
Identity and self-esteem
Trust and hope
The Recovery Star (4th Edition) is underpinned by a five-stage, ten step Journey of Change model:
Stuck (1-2)
Accepting help (3-4)
Believing and trying (5-6)
Learning (7-8)
Self-reliance (9-10)
I would be interested to hear your opinions and in particular how you think they compare
Thanks
Bev
