Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 10/01/2025My precious Dexter🖤🤍. Sharing some of his calm, softness & love. He reminds me to go gently. Its ok if the news is too much. If I cant speak out right now. Those who can will. The abuse has taken enough already. We do what we can with what we have at any time. That’s enough! 060
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 10/01/2025‘Walk gently in the lives of others. Not all wounds are visible’👇🏼 It’s easier to remember this with people we like & agree with. Or who agree with us. My challenge is trying to remember this with everyone I interact with. And reflecting on how I’m truly practicing my values! 1101
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 07/01/2025‘A lot of people just need someone to be kind to them today’🩷💜🧡👇🏼 071
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Happiness is … lying with Dexter watching tv🖤🤍🐾. So #grateful for every year now that I’m not in a psychiatric ward at this time! 141
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Dexter pretending he knows nothing about who peed on the Christmas tree🎄🐾🌨️🙄 260
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 27/11/2024This👇🏼captures how the past swarms leaving you trailing through the treacle of grief despair & what feels like madness. Paranoid, depressed, suicidal they’d have said. Not now. In context it makes sense. Medicalising the ‘symptoms’ of abuse led to more violence #16DaysOfActivism 070
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 23/11/2024#Grateful to be part of @KyrieFarm lived exp committee where every voice truly matters.

Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Morning … Dexter suggests going gently & kindly today. Everybody’s carrying enough already🖤🤍🐾 #InnerVoice #OuterVoice #Soften 150
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Sara shares an overview @PPR_Org #NewScript campaign & @createhopeni powerfully shares her experience of activism & poem ‘I am from’ @dropthedisorder online festival. Order the book & #DoSomething🩷💚... 100
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 07/11/2024Great to have a chapter on #NewScript @PPR_Org in this @pccsbooks book & to be contributing to the online festival tomorrow #Grateful! For loads of content & speakers, including a conversation with Jo & Gabor Mate; sign up @dropthedisorder & get the recording🩷💚 #DoSomething! 120
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 06/11/2024Love this quote & rather apt for the day that it is! How much we need each other in these times! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 03/11/2024At a social event. An ED nurse talked about ‘frequent flyers’. I didn’t have the energy to🙋🏻♀️ that’s me, ‘repeat offender; revolving door’. It wasn’t said with malice but language matters. There’s a person behind the label! The causes of my SH & suicide attempts were medicalised👇🏼 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 03/11/2024It might be a grey day but Dexter never fails to bring some sunshine💛🖤🤍🐾 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 27/10/2024Dexter captures the turn in weather & longer nights. After a lifetime of attempts to treat ‘major clinical depressions’, I’m realising my dark nights aren’t an illness. Doesn’t make it less hard esp trying to navigate in a world set up to ‘treat’ me! But makes more sense now! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 21/10/2024Friends who give gifts like these💙🩷. I was literally on my own 7 yrs ago trying to rebuild my shattered life. It’s a little rocky at times but so different! Those close to me know how much completing my research has meant on many levels & I’m so #grateful for their support! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 05/10/2024May some gentle warm light fall softly on places & infuse spaces needing it💛 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 26/09/2024I was explaining to @CassidyEmma today that Dexter is clearly my son & @garym213 sent me this👇🏼. With so much going on & much to process, coming home to this wee man is just a blessing & gift🖤🤍🐾 #LoveHimSo #Grateful🐾 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 22/09/2024These short quotes arriving every morning are prompts to set my intention for the day. To pause & remember the many things I have to be grateful for. A practice started in the treatment centre in 2017 when I’d lost everything which I resisted🤣 Now it helps me so much🧡 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 03/09/20242nd year @UlsterUni Research & Evaluation Methods in SW done. Grateful for the opportunity & fellow students (Maria can’t find you😊), to @pmcfadden5, Anne McGlade my tutor for her amazing support & my practice assessor. Was in Bluestone this time last yr. Healing is a journey! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 26/08/2024May today hold moments of quiet, kindness & softening & may you breathe these in. It could be a lovely exchange with a cashier, noticing the formation of clouds beyond the busy street or literally sitting quietly with a cuppa. We are all so exhausted & need to honour rest more! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 15/08/2024Another reminder👇🏼 … like Desmond Tutu & many others who bring us back to the fact that we can only ever live & be fully known in relationship #with others! This perspective can help my #being #seeing #connecting today! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 12/08/2024Yesterday @garym213 was messing with Dexter who was not engaging … too busy chilling🐾🤍🖤 … reminded me how powerful laughter is helping us calm, connect & ease some tough feelings. May we experience moments like this over the week & may our inner & outer voices be #kind! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 07/08/2024As always a gift to spend time in #SpacesForListening thanks to @brigidrussell51 @charlie_psych💙 … Dexter sends everyone some grace, gentleness, love & mischief! 010
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 02/08/2024Friday Face … I’m glad it’s bedtime now too🤣 Dexter speaks without speaking🐾🤍🖤 #LoveHimSo 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 01/08/2024Great reminder🐾#MoreLikeDexter💙 Trying to navigate relationships in all areas; frustration, triggers, tiredness; means I’m not always my best self. Reflection on my values, gardening, sharing; more self-compassion & less criticism, helps😊 #OnlyHuman Go as #gently as possible! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 28/07/2024Donegal is a very special place. So #grateful for a few days away with Matthew thanks to @AbutlRmn. Swimming, good food (he cooked amazing breakfasts) & meeting friends @SaraBoy54797988 I realise how lucky I am to have good people in my life & be present with my kids again💙 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 22/07/2024Sometimes called glimmers👇🏼It helps me to set this kind of intention especially when it seems most difficult. When the pressures of life or my own internal struggles are overwhelming. Noticing these moments, a butterfly, the sound of Dexter snoring, a shared laugh; they matter💙 010
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 18/07/2024Oh I so related to this👇🏼. Ever hopeful🤣 … then I get to the stage I have different lists in different places and can’t remember where I put what🤦🏼♀️ 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 14/07/2024Dexter checking out Matthew & I out as we lie on the trampoline watching the House Martins. These times remind me that what can seem impossible, isn’t always so #Hope #SimplePleasures #Gratitude💙 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 28/06/2024I took some time out a few wks ago. I got sick but was also overwhelmed with so many suffering & power dynamics & unprocessed traumas triggering my stuff. It helped my #seeing to step back. So many good people doing their best & so many heartfelt connections this week #ThankYou💙 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 26/06/2024My wildflower patch I sowed in May has grown in a way that amazes me (I did put too many seeds miscalculating the area needing covered😬). A wonderful reminder that whilst the mechanics of so much that influences us continues, so too does growth, beauty, overcoming & goodness❤️ 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 25/06/2024The second session with psychologists @setrust offering space to pause & reflect using the #PolyvagalLadder. Remembering how the ‘small’ things that can really help #YouMatter #PeerConnection #SpaceToCalmAndReflect #Choice & some nourishing practices had many smiles @AbutlRmn💙 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 23/06/2024Dexter took some shade in his dog house which he never needs because he lives inside. But … I was out … so he joined me🖤🤍🐾. His look is a great reminder for the week to remember to pause every now & then & enjoy the moment☀️ 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 21/06/2024For the weekend🌻 ‘Earth teach me …👇🏼 Earth teach me to remember kindness as dry fields weep in the rain’💛 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 19/06/2024I’m grateful for the freedom to develop & deliver my own training. I love working with groups; the learning, conversations & energy. My research @UlsterUni looking at well-being of approved social workers is adding another layer to this re-approval training @BelfastTrust @setrust 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 15/06/2024Just because👇🏼🥰. It’s ok (imo) if you’re feeling overwhelmed, a little depleted, struggling to see the light … when just doing the next thing takes great effort … to step back. Only do the essentials. Take care with what you read, watch & engage with. Go gently there! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 09/06/2024Thought for the week ahead👇🏼. I see repeated & ongoing harm of people already suffering deeply which could have been/be significantly reduced if #Honesty #Compassion & #Integrity were honoured. I know this from my own experience too. And we so need each-other for this👇🏼 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 06/06/2024Dexter sends some love, comfort & reminder to go a little gently; with yourself & others🖤🤍🐾 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 29/05/2024👇🏼💙learning to #BeWith. So needed for us all! And needs nurtured, valued & expected in services when people are very distressed, have self-harmed and/or talking about feeling overwhelmed, hopeless & wanting to end their lives. Books can’t teach this. Our humanity can! 000
Lisa Morrison @lisatmsa.bsky.social · 27/05/2024Hard to know what to say with so much devastation in so many places! But I do know that the things which Dexter brings to my life are much needed #Love #Comfort #Acceptance #Nurturing #Reassurance #Joy … these things must move & flow into every space, where & when we can! 000
