My response as a therapist to the Serenity Prayer, assisted by reading Nancy McWilliams’ book chapter Psychological Vital Signs #psychiatrying

Things life and work are teaching me #psychiatrying

Here in Busselton WA for Radiance Network’s symposium, presenting my #patritherapeutic talk about healing after #patriarchy. Only so many ripples I can make in my life, but the net of sun plays on the sand below the surface. #psychiatrying

In the lockdowns I had a little e-band called Mount Disappointment Light Opera Co. Then the song genie left. I thought it was gone for good. But then I saw two dead ravens in a funeral parlour carpark with 20 in the trees above cawing their heads off. And so, a song. youtu.be/Yl5SgxMKeg4?...

Only one of these 20th Century Italian design masterpieces is not a seat. Great expo, on at Heide Melb AU alongside brilliant bleak Albert Tucker grotesques. Do those first, it’s like THE 20TH CENTURY WAS AWFUL then go down the ramp and it’s like YES BUT ALSO (peering over top of sunnies) CIAAAAO

The closest I get to Nick Cave is by angling the camera to make my forehead look large and wise. The fairy lights added a certain something to my Keith Jarrett noodlings #j4zzd0c #improvmental #therapiano #music #piano #musictherapy youtu.be/PW9ma4Ue6_A?...

23.12.24ii Last night’s a lovely blur My phone remembers dancing Just as I recall #haikotherapy

23.12.24 Such a good night out The angels in my camera roll Keep secrets from me #haikotherapy

Hope for humans in 800 words on how therapy works, smuggled inside a cracker of a tale by Dickens #psychiatrying #christmas #achristmascarol mydoctorshandwriting.com/2024/12/23/w...

22.12.24 So long I’ve watched you In just one more rainless week We could meet at last #haikotherapy

21.12.24iii Kitchen sink rainbow Through cut glass, cutlery rack The dishes can wait #haikotherapy

21.12.24ii Such southwest sunlight Surprised the kitchen tinsel Got splashed everywhere #haikotherapy

21.12.24 Dawn, summer solstice Sun of gods and monster’s leaf Such delicious light #haikotherapy

Like most fiction, this short story is full of facts. Catacombs are weird. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is even huger in original piano form than Ravel’s orchestral arrangement, somehow. And…brief encounters can change your life. thenormalgrownup.com/2024/12/18/a...

15.12.24 Camp by me said Gum I swear I won’t drop a limb Not tonight my loves #haikotherapy

14.12.24iii Venus is a smile So bright we only see a star Twinkleless at dusk #haikotherapy

14.12.24ii Moon, tree, Jupiter All quite close from where I stand Could have got messy #haikotherapy

14.12.24 This is not a tree Just its ghost that like the bugs Won’t break the surface #haikotherapy

6.12.24 Your galaxy brain Trillions of synapses Agree about wine #haikotherapy

5.12.24 The same old new moon We kids spurned for cathode rays Via coat hanger #haikotherapy

4.12.24iii My ugly daisy Ageing and bitten yet still Loving sun and rain #haikotherapy

30.11.24 Metres from tarmac Seashells greet the rising tide Like time’s not a thing #haikotherapy

4.12.24 Pig-headed gum tree Blown down flat but won’t say die Shoots straight from the foot #haikotherapy

This makes me so happy.

Know this poem? It’s bleak right? Yes and no. There’s hope hidden in it… #psychotherapy #parenting #intergenerationaltrauma #hope #poetry www.linkedin.com/pulse/psycho...

3.12.24 You missed the sunset But your eyes were tired of fire And wept at those blues #haikotherapy

Thanks to all for supporting this piece so far - www.news.com.au/lifestyle/he... News.com.au has picked it up! If anyone who wants to do more than sign the petition and share this can get it in front of Mr Shorten and/or your local MP that would be most helpful. #musictherapy

Colleagues and I had to scramble this week to help protect this vital treatment from getting axed from the #NDIS. Help us by sharing and signing the petition (link in article)? Thanks. #musictherapy mydoctorshandwriting.com/2024/11/30/b...

I get home from work and feeling rebellious, plonk a snowdome right the middle of the keys I most usually rely on, and pull the fairy lights off the top of the piano. Look what a bit of disruption can do… #j4zzd0c #therapiano #psychiatrying #improvmental #musictherapy youtu.be/7Ls8LtQOSfQ?...

27.11.24 Sky and road darken Rain soon makes the asphalt black Makes it boil and writhe #haikotherapy

This is terrible. Music therapy saves lives. Please help keep it on the NDIS. So many other ways to reduce costs of NDIS that don’t just transfer burden elsewhere. Madness. www.linkedin.com/posts/jennif...

Hallelujah. So disrespectful to the crew and cast and families. So cynical. Refuse to be sold the next thing!

I think Nathan W Pyle just redefined job security 👽 ❤️ I am in love with these blue observers of us. I have long used the alien anthropologist in my #psychotherapy teaching: what would a total newcomer make of us? Can we imagine how we would think if freed of all human assumptions? #psychiatrying

Genetically unremarkable age-indeterminate turtle of no specific martial arts training. Hero in a full shell. Turtle power 🐢

I had to stop to let my Monday cross in safety.

We’re not going back.

@cathywilcox.bsky.social that is next level 👏 #alanjones

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
