WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

New Resource from @tactt.bsky.social a trans affirming therapy checklist. Inspired by the work of @sonnyjane.bsky.social and the Neurodiversity affirming checklist. #TherapistsConnect #TherapistSky #AffirmingTherapy #TransRightAreHumanRights
A two-column guide for assessing whether a therapist is trans-affirming, created by Therapists Against Conversion Therapy and Transphobia (TACTT). It lists green flags (affirming practices) and red flags (concerning practices).

A decision to cut off a relationship, esp w/ parents, is typically difficult & nuanced As a family therapist, I don't tell my clients what to do (about anything) Let's focus on the people who have mistreated others: their responsibility, & how their actions have led to consequences such as these

Self-disclosure as a therapist is sometimes a slippery slope. (This is the serious part of my post; the next part will be jokey, so TW!) One of my clients was upset to find out I'm okay with drinking room temperature water. I hope this didn't rupture our relationship. (/s) #TherapistHumor

Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.

If you deny that COVID pushed our hospitals to the limit, vaccines work, and healthcare workers are heroes, you should not be allowed to hold public office, let alone lead a health agency.

Some of the systemic ways our culture has devalued therapy and therapists: -Terrible pay to therapists (shall we talk about the increase of 1099 positions?) -Therapy speak on social media: people who are not trained therapists sharing opinions, with often incorrect/overgeneralized info (1/3)

Many of the participants shared that they would have loved to hear me go into more depth about clinically supporting neurodivergent folks who were identified in adulthood, and we listened.

As someone who has WFH since 2019, it makes sense that studies would reflect that remote workers feel more isolated (There are other factors for that as well) Today I saw a therapist say this is why she/her practice offers in-person sessions, "for meaningful connections" FOR THE 103rd TIME: (1/2)
