Farewell 2024 and welcome 2025!

It's been a challenging 2024 for me on a personal level and I haven't been as active as I would like to be on my blog. Still recovering and recharging my batteries after the loss of my father under very difficult circumatances late last year; the first time on a personal level I've experienced vicarious medical trauma...... I am looking forward to FINALLY going on my trip to Borneo at the end of March, to volunteer in an orangutan conservation project.  I think this will be excellent personal therapy!

On a p[ositive note I managed to attain my Medical Trauma Accreditation and am now the only Certified Medical Trauma Psychotherapist in Wales, and  the UK.  I'm hoping to expand this knowledge working with my clinical supervisor Professor Michelle Flaum in the US, creating educational workshops/courses and podcasts for patients and clinicians alike in the UK......watch this space!
