I don’t think it’s that expensive. If they update every 10 years then it’s £4,300k per year.

Revamped new website is live.

I feel like the BPS doublespeak type of nonsense has spread to other parts of life.

Feeling a bit freaked out to be honest. I’d be looking at losing 40% of my current income. Honestly I feel like I want a PIP assessment where I will spend the days beforehand absolutely overdoing it, so they can see what happens if I don’t rest. They don’t understand it in writing so I’ll have...

Nah not always, you just say it, and it’s true. The young people call it “manifesting”. It’s kind of like making stuff up to suit you. Even the study fabricators believe they're right - and they didn’t even carry out a proper study!

It’s ok, if you’re a Dr or Professor you just say what it is that you believe, that’s good enough.

Strange how they can’t offer the CBT to reverse it, though. It’s actually ideal for some CBT.

Paul believes he had Long Covid and (coz someone said he met Canadian Consensus Criteria) ME and he cured it by thinking differently, so I don’t put much stock in what he believes will or won’t happen. He is also closer to “three score years and ten” so he’s on a more limited timeframe than say...

Personally Bob, I’d like someone to undo the GET&CBT type CBT that I got. Surely filling someone’s head with CBT nonsense is exactly the sort of thing some CBT can fix?

Again though, it highlights the problem that CBT can mean all sorts of different things. If there is quantitive data that a particular CBT has good out comes for SLE then it’s pointless comparing it with qualitative data for ME. So it literally may not be possible to compare such disparate items.

But there is a very specific recommendation for CBT in the Nice 206 guideline which states it’s not curative and not to state that their beliefs are abnormal (I’m paraphrasing). So there is a form of CBT which could be useful. There are, as we know, forms which are harmful. So to go back to...

Don’t worry, he’s consistently repeating his rather dull story.

He has mentioned in his earlier blogs that she’s had ME for a number of years. He wrote about being sent a picture of a gun by a disgruntled person. I’ve had worse threatening emails doing internet dating tbh. Again, omitting the frequent exercising he was seen doing in Liverpool, when the...

My point is that whatever the style of therapy, or name, doesn’t matter. it’s how it’s used. If I were to paint a car with gloss, it would give a terrible finish. It’s not the paint’s fault, it’s mine for trying to use it where it won’t apply, and not using the right type of paint. “Gloss...

I don’t know but I suspect that CBT can assist in many difficult circumstances. From being diagnosed with a chronic disease, to being put in prison, made bankrupt, homeless etc. I think the label is a problem. Replace “CBT” with “psychotherapy” or “counselling” or talking therapy”, it’s just a...

Sorry it was too much for me to read through

I saw a good post on social media today. I think a pwME. Along the lines of- Government wants me to work. Log in to DWP Gov Job site. Used the filters to find disability confident employers>work fully remote/from home>part time. There are 7 jobs advertised. How are we all going to get jobs if...

GP’s are overworked and underpaid, too. Fit Notes were supposed to come in with some sort of government-run Occupational Health type service who would assess people on behalf of the workplace and suggest adjustments…never happened. Just left to GPs.

Looking forward to the lecture being posted in the next few days.

Not the way they’re thinking of it, I can bet you it involves an app and exercise…
