💥Tim Nicholson’s @timnicholson.bsky.social modestly ‘speculative’ theory of functional processes as possibly universal components of illness, and indeed of treatments when the placebo phenomenon is understood in this way, is a revolutionary perspective in the history of Medicine @bnpa.bsky.social

Shakespeare understood the predictive mind model, that the mind creates experience, before it was cool. He understood that the nature of mind is both vivid and empty like an eastern yogi - where did he learn this? Not from someone else

'Our revels now are ended'

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

William Shakespeare
From The Tempest, Act 4 Scene 1

Happy New Year everyone!! There are some doubts about this, so my resolution, apart from more meditating, is to see through the negative appearances, and remember that each moment of life is infinitely more valuable than the difficult stuff that seems sometimes to happen in it

A nice example of a predictive processing error ‘The woman was frantic – it hadn’t eaten or pooed’: what happened when a hat bobble was brought to a hedgehog rescue centre?

Officially off Twitter today. I know “Twitter is not real life” blah blah but the truth is it completely changed mine. I went from isolation to the center of a brilliant community of disabled activists + scientists working on incredible things. Hope we can recreate the virtuous cycle here!

Important study! FND is common: “using our best method as a conservative estimate, there are likely a minimum of 50–100,000 people with FND in the UK.” “FND appears to be more prevalent than many other well-known and well-funded neurological disorders” Clinical + research funding needed!

Atypical Interoception in FND seems a critical area to understand better, not least because it’s a rich potential target for intervention with existing therapies (esp mindfulness-based) - excellent new paper building our understanding of the neural basis

ISTDP also in my experience a very powerful intervention with selected patients with FND - strengths are experiential here-and-now mind-body-relationship technique, and building capacity for awareness of emotions and regulation of emotion-related anxiety while reducing self-defeating coping strats
