What a rich and inspiring conversation to witness, thought provoking and encouraging despite the difficulties it highlights and opens out. Thank you

Thank you, Dr. Davies, for your work! I am from Austria, and here we have noone speaking out that truth. We need more of you! ❤

I stopped listening after 3 seconds when the opening speaker identified her pronouns as "she/her". What the hell has the "personal confession" or "proclamtion" or "statement" to do with the topic ? Nothing, for me, anyways. So. Byebye. Back to nature. Away from woke blubberish blablabla.

All the good MH professionals I know understand that the DSM is only a manual for dealing with insurance companies.

Great stuff. But I thought it was weird to say "the drugs aren't working as well as they did in the 80's". The drugs have gotten better (at least, they can do more, different things). Each drug does what it always did; It's not like we've developed herd immunity to them (Although they are in the water some places...). No, really it's your main claim that explains everything: people are more mentally ill than they used to be, because of the real world itself

This is so good. You guys are doing such important work by making this knowledge and understanding widely available. Thank you so much!

Great intro to Liberation Psychologies, alot to consider. In my opinion is compatible with Buddhist philosophy, very open minded and considerate of life in all it's complexities.

So much insight, thank you for sharing

I'm not sure if there's going to be a *significant* change after July 4th even with a Labour government. Post-Starmer maybe but not while Starmer is at the helm.

I have to say, at face value, "integrating social activism into therapeutic practice" sounds like a truly terrible idea. Clients come to therapy for help and support and to feel safe being themselves. Bringing our own social views and opinions, or politics into it is the last thing any therapist should even want to do? I shudder at the mere thought of it, and the terrible implications that could arise from it, such as negative experiences for clients and damage to the reputation of the profession as a whole. As therapists we should serve all clients, not promote our own ideologies. And remember, not every therapist is going to share YOUR social and political beliefs and views, if this is the direction the profession moves in, then therapists who believe the opposite to what you do, will also come through that open door and bring their own views into their practice too. What ever happened to professionalism?

I have a lot of respect for Carl Rogers, but I don't understand why almost every training provider is stuck with his books as core reading materials, where a lot of other more recent authers are presenting the same concepts in a more comprehensive way.

You are all very inspiring, specially for someone like me, from the middle east currently living in the UK studying psychotherapy 🙏❤️

Thanks for the great therapy insights, context and virtual session. I’m a scared father turned climate activist in the US , now facing prison time depending on jury verdict this August, who had to part with my wonderful therapist of 5 years because of their inability to support me in my new work.

Thank you for sharing, just listening now to Sally's personal story. I'm involved with LEAP panels we give valuable knowledge about social injustice

Names of community psychologists mentioned by Sally in this interview for further reading: Mark Burton, Carolyn Kagan, Jim Orford, David Smail, Carl Walker, David Fryer, Catherine Campbell, Flora Cornish

Can someone type out the name of the community psychologist mentioned at 3:30 please? I can't find him by searching in Google according to how I hear the name...

Thanks for turning on the captions!

Thanks for sharing this very helpful interview with Sally Zlotowitz

Great TaSC podcast on forming alliances in the CMHS

This is excellent 👌🏻 So helpful and shifting the way we work. Also you are delivering it in such genuine and non judgemental way. Thank you!

I am bored by these people.

By “eliminating extreme wealth with extreme taxes” I don’t think we will eliminate mental health problems . On the contrary they will increase on those selfish arrogant narcissistic people 😂(of course there are many exceptions but for the sake of the joke;))

I wish I could spend the rest of my lifetime in the presence of people as inspiring and brilliant as the two of you. Thanks so much for this ❤️

Interesting video, thank you . I am disabled, and this was happening when at collage training in counselling.

This discussion is so interesting as I Identify as a English/Iraqi man with Autism. I grew up from a Christian, Muslim background.

This is great, I'm huge fan of existentialism Philosophy Kierkegaards ideas of 'Angst towards his' idea of an individual leap of faith'. Thank you both for a great event.

💞💞💞

Great talk refreshing to have such honesty !

Great talk and Q&A. Thankfully it's not paywalled!

Lovely to see #TherapistsConnect co-lead discussing relational activism and what it means to fight for social justice... thanks for sharing this as open access video for everyone to watch.

…As a German Biologist - this is about Domestication and Conditioning in the Techno Sphere. Erich Fromm stated in the 1950´s : “There is no Right Life in a Wrong Environment” We must get sick in such a synthetic non human world It takes intense Endurance and Inner Strength Training to de Condition and restore the Auto Pilot to install a strong strict severe Firewall against all Hijackers and Manipulators … or we rot in the GULAG…

Thanks, great talk!!!

Such important work, thank you Myira!
