Unbinding ourselves from shame is one of the most important things we can do in our lives. It can also be one of the most difficult. To recognise when we are reacting from a place of shame is a good first step. Thanks for this beautiful piece @Lacey_artist

Rare for me to repost but this needs to be said, with regards to the Letby case and other high profile trials. Diagnosis speculation harms people with diagnoses, furthers stigma and achieves little. Or ‘cheapens’ psychiatrists…
Psychiatrists. Unless you examined Lucy Letby as part of her trial, you have no idea what is wrong with her or why she committed her crimes. The comments and "explanations" in the media are unhelpful and cheapen us.
Have decided to start sharing my artwork on here, regardless of the lack of interaction it may receive! I am interested in so many areas of art - activism, photography, collecting, drawing, protest, feminism, beauty, mental illness, trauma and the female nude. Feedback welcome!
@100beks ❤ thanks so much for being part of it and for travelling so far too, its been so fab to meet you and your artwork is amazing x
It was such an honour to be part of this. And to see the strength of feeling and JOY that came from being able to discuss and condemn the injustice of psychiatric streamlining openly, without raised eyebrows anywhere. @Pdisaninsult has done something truly significant here.
