my favourite author Paolo Coelho
has spoken of his love / hate relationship with the Catholic Church
I mean who doesn't love the Virgin Mary
and those catholic nurses are great when you are at your illest ...
as you recover you start to challenge things more
and alas we fail to come up to her standards
and the winds of change no pun intended
under Browns labour government
actually scrapped the very good sheltered workshops and jobclubs
in favour of pressure to look after each other each other
with no training
the winds of change switch this way and that way
with changes in government
switching from a work ethic to a peer support ethic and back
which news will be delivered by someone bossy planted to do this job
neither ethic is correct in my view
should be a recovery ethic
with a view to assessing each persons needs individually
i am good enough just as I am !
our ' mental health community ' in my area
was further eroded
by a freak ' mindfulness ' session
played on by a minor celebrity which I can't name
who had us focus on the perineum for the whole session
( google it )
and make sexual noises !
funny thing is nobody complained or walked out until afterwards
im surprised when I think about it I didn't walk out
about 3 people complained after the session
and a safeguarding issue was raised
then not upheld
although that person didn't return to the centre
I found it had damaged the relationships between the members
