Structural inequality, marginalisation, practical & financial lack of access, and the ways the therapy profession(s) fail some ppl culturally or through inappropriate pathologisation or misdiagnosis.

That makes it hard for *a lot* of people.

Right, I think people are busy and caught up with their own lives often. And I get it, it’s hard to live a good life right now and also have time to be there for people who are struggling.

And then, yes, all those factors that keep ppl from therapy:

I would never trust this. I don’t care what science says. No metal in the microwave is a neural pathway so well established, it may as well be fact now.

Not by arguing that people don’t WANT to, or that they could have their loneliness eased far better by humans

Because what if that’s just not true for some

What if they’ve tried everything and this is a last resort

What if we need to turn inward and ask ourselves how present we really are?

Thanks for checking in Jessica, I appreciate it.

I’m doing well actually. The *event* seems to propelled me into an unexpectedly centred space. Strange how it turns out sometimes🙏

It has to be named after Maureen Sweeney, the Irish meteorologist who gave the Allies a critical weather report before D Day.

Irish aviation history and meteorological history are intimately linked, and we're a Republic - we don't name things after Taoisigh here (except in Cork).

Sinus stuff is miserable. I hope it lifts soon.

This is it.

You might need to explain it them very slowly though so they have to process a woman having value.

I mean, if you think about it, clients who don’t have a therapeutic background should be far more susceptible to acting out of projective identifications than a therapist who’s familiar with the concept.

Or so the thinking goes anyway.
