The choice of modality (#phone vs #video vs #InPerson) needs to be made by the patient and physician together. (#PERSONCENTRED)

1) Many organisations seek to help people. They may use words like #strengthsbased or #personcentred or #community. If the people who do the work are managed in a hierarchical system with baked in dominance, decisions removed from people who do the work then they will fail
2) I am influenced by the notion of preconfiguration, that the 'means become the end' and this applies in so many situations.
Orgs often tell workers what to do, don't involve them in decisions and don't grant them authority.
Then tell them to work differently with people.
3) So what I think happens is that for the worker there is a disconnect. The values they are asked to use when working with people and communities are different from the values that keep them safe in a job.
4) It's grim irony that we ask workers in health, social care, community to listen and learn and support- to be facilitators and enablers, but they don't have that freedom back at the desk
5) Something then has to give, they have to 'put on a different coat' depending on who they are working with. That leads to inauthenticity (and yes, it is seen through!)
6) It also means the worker can't really work in the way you ask them to, because the hierarchical, management by dominance culture has system conditions that create tensions between doing the right thing and doing what keeps you in a job
7) Last one - so if you don't want people to make decisions on behalf of the people you support, don't do it to the staff. If you want to enable choice and increase freedom and autonomy, start with your people first

There's no excuse any more for doing anything other than #PersonCentred care

📺 Recommended watch for folx considering/in #therapy: Mick Cooper’s new demo on how NOT to do counselling.
In sum, your therapist should NOT:
🗣️ Talk more than you or about themselves a lot
🧠 Give dismissive/hasty advice
☔️ Say things like ‘I’m sure it’ll be fine’
❌ Be critical of you
🌀 Talk about theory a lot
🔥 Respond defensively
⚠️ Force you to share anything
💭 Ask you questions based on their personal curiosity

At the heart of person-centred care is the experience of being seen and valued for who I am when faced with illness or challenge.
This is something we value in spiritual care and in palliative care. If it matters to you it matters to us. @palliativecare

My wee Sunday space for client work 🌈
Looks like a hair salon, right?! That’s because an incredibly kind human offers their business space for free - allowing me to practise each week with a wonderful local charity called Uplifted.
With an absence of free relational and experiential therapy in the UK, resourcing provision like this is community activism ✊
