🧵I've just seen an image on Pinterest declaring that #Trauma is not your fault but healing is your choice - and I have feelings about this. First of all, this strikes me as an incredibly privileged take. Not everyone is able to engage in trauma healing at any given moment, even if they want to.

A vital message for us all. True #strength recognises that our #emotions need to be felt and understood. They are forms of internal communication and necessary for navigating through life. I've had a reminder this week of how important it is to take time to listen to what they're saying. Cont.

According to a new poll run by NSPCC, 1 in 6 adults couldn't identify the signs of emotional abuse. When adults are unable to identify emotional abuse, they are failing the children and young people in their lives. Conversations about abuse are important www.nspcc.org.uk/about-us/new...

Most UK adults believe emotional abuse in childhood can have a lasting psychological effect but one in six cannot spot the signs
