~ The Toolshed ~

So I've decided to create a new space, similar to The Ice-Memery but instead of being silly memes, these are memes/images/words etc. that I've found that are more like tools and insights for recovery. Hence, I welcome you to:

~ The Toolshed! ~

🔧💡🔩🤔

These are things I've found that are insightful, provide psychoeducation, or that have helped inspire me in my recovery journey. I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! But to start us off, I would love to share a nice lil stack of memes/pics I've found that I thought were really worth the read.

P.S. If you haven't already, you can also check out our Coping Toolbox for ideas and strategies to help you when you need to cope with the hard stuff!

So without further ado, lemme kick us off!

Will just tag a few forumites to start, pls do tag anyone you feel would enjoy or wanna contribute to this thread!

The interesting thing about this is in Defence Mechanisms it has

According to Neurobiologist Dr Tara Swart we can overwrite the neural pathway of negative behaviour with positive behaviour, until it becomes our normal behaviour.

Not a mask - Neuroscience

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

That last batch is impressive and comprehensive @avant-garde Thank you very much

I particularly appreciate the detail in the defence mechanisms, the cognitive distortions and calming, neuroscience…. Boundaries…. I looked at DBT a lot about 10 years ago….they were all great tools and very relevant.

If any professionals had applied them appropriately I would have been grateful…mostly I had to tolerate them airily making reference to a concept without doing any work and applying it to something specific or helping me to unpack it and do it myself. The only decent ones are my current support worker and I think my current psychologist is beginning to understand me by some of the comments he makes. My psychiatrist doesn’t really have a clue, gets paid the most and can fob me off with generalising about 8 or 9 billion humans, but I need a psychiatrist in the current system, or do I?

anyway thanks a bajillion

theres gold in them posts

Anyway, the best work is the work we do ourselves

yes

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Glisten ooooh I have seen this as 'rescripting' therapy, is that the same you reckon?

In response to: Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

GlistenSenior Contributor

Re: ~ The Toolshed ~

@Jynx I don’t know what rescripting therapy is. Is it words or actions? Or both?

And also Why did I do that? Reflection and understanding the emotion attached to the negative response.
