Being A Plural: Experience Of A Child Alter
This post shares the experiences of a child alter and it is explanatory and analytical and shows how sys members who are supported can slowly heal.
Experiences: ND Mental Health Controversies
I found that we are quite often not allowed to choose/request/accept the services we need and want; instead, we have to take what we are given and be grateful.
Experiences: Masking Induced Structural Dissociation
In my personal opinion, rejecting masking is not just about being honest, or authentic. There is a lot of potential for trauma and for Structural Dissociation.
ND Review: DID ≠ Psychosis
Psychoses and neurodivergence of any kind, including plurality, are an important subject. Unfortunately, psychotic behaviour is in the eyes of the beholder.
Waltham Forest & Essex Safety Alert (NELFT +others)
The Essex Mental Health Independent Inquiry, led by Baroness Lampard, is investigating deaths of patients across NHS Trusts in Essex from 2000-2020. Local Residents are urged to contact the Inquiry with evidence and question local leaders about NELFT's role in patient safety and potential negligence.
ND Review: Meltdowns? Or reading someone the riot act?
Meltdown? it is an expression of assertiveness, self-respect, and self-determination. It is how we say you may not respect me 🚫, but I do!
An ND society. A dream or a possibility?
All minorities have communities that support each other and provide relevant goods and services. We too can have a community by us for us. ♾️
Do you live in Waltham Forest or Essex? Ask your Community Leaders, MPs, and Councillors:
Why are NELFT and other Essex Health Trusts being investigated by the Health Ombudsman? How was NELFT Mental Health services implicated in the deaths and disappearances of more than 2,000 people? Are local Health Services safe for vulnerable people? Are local people affected by Baroness Lampard’s Inquiry being adequately supported? Is everyone able to present evidence to the investigation? What is the local government doing to ensure that this negligence and these abuses of power are prevented in the future?Not only this, ask them why there is so much crime in our area at the moment … There is so much angst locally … people are walking the streets sad and fearful …
We have always been diverse as a community, and that wasn’t causing divisions in the past. What has changed? Did the pandemic cause this? Or are our community leaders complacent in their “seats of power”? I am not a politician and I am not an activist, but I want answers to these questions.
If you see me walking in our area, say hi! AG is my name and this is how to pronounce it 🔊. Help me find out what is happening to our neighbourhood, we are owed answers!.
