Professor Ad de Jongh states treating people for trauma vs traditional treatment personality disorder so well that they didn’t fall into the diagnostic criteria and there was a low dropout rate. Intensive #EMDR has been recorded as having as 90% success rate. #BIGSPD

We are now listening to Ad de Jongh, Professor at the University of Amsterdam. The man has written over 500 papers!!! His #BIGSPD26 discusses how CPTSD is a strong crossover with #PersonalityDisorder. He worked with a service to research and published.

Questions section about silos from audience for first speaker, who works with the Blackpool NHS service. She asked why the service isn’t well known outside its remit, and if it will be grown to link to other services later. #BIGSPD26 Hard to to do with NHS budgets!

It’s #BIGSPD26. My last BIGSPD as an exec member. I’ve got a fabulous 4* theatre session “Troubled” to chair with Suzy Crowthers and @anniesutton.bsky.social

I’ve never ever ever been able to win one of these crochet elves! 🧝🏼‍♀️ One year I came close but @keirwales.bsky.social beat me. @helenjolly.bsky.social (I hope this is the right Helen Jolly!) took pity on me & knitted me the most gorjuss little girl elf 🧝🏼‍♀️ Sadly she went up in smoke in my house fire… 😢

Loved the #RelationalCare workshop. Thank you 🙏🏽 Vicky Baldwin & Julia Blazdell #BIGSPD25

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

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

Delegates have managed to find the maze that leads to the Derby room for the #RelationalPractice workshop with Vicky Baldwin & Julia Blazdell #BIGSPD25

Oh wowowowowowwwwww!!!!!!! The slides & more importantly PAPERS all in this thread…. Esp the ‘Bullshitisation’ one 😹😢 #BIGDPD25

Ooooh I’m name checked on here… (other #BIGSPD25 people on the BlueSky app are also available to follow )

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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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’m in the #TroubleStirring #RelationalPractice workshop. I wonder why I was attracted to this one?! 😹🤣 #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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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 = 🤮🤮🤮

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Really excellent talk from @mickmckeown24.bsky.social. I’ve loved it. Thank you 🙏🏽 🥰 #BIGSPD25

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Another sweary slide. You go @mickmckeown24.bsky.social 😹😹😹 Peter Sedgwick is also his hero, 🦸‍♂️, I shall be looking him up later 😉 #BIGSPD25

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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… #BIGSPD25

Tamar @mizztea.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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

‘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 #BIGSPD25

The first plenary session is @mickmckeown24.bsky.social who is Professor for Democratic Mental Health at @uclan.ac.uk I’ve worked with him on bits of work for @unison.org.uk trying to raise awareness of #Peer #LivedExperience workers. Sorry if I tagged the wrong Mick McKeown 😹 #BIGSPD25
