then the BBC One Show showing an older woman on Stagecoach bus using a Psychosis App to help with voices and changed perception, a University of Sussex project; I liked how the piece started with the person who had "lived experience" and not with the professional; the story drew me in:

Innovative digital therapy helping patients with paranoia in Sussex. @withoutstigma https://t.co/jN5eueSxfZ https://t.co/d8WUJyEDWl— Chrys Muirhead (@ChrysMuirhead) April 5, 2018
which caused me to think, yet again, of how I'd been excluded from both DClinPsy Programme at Glasgow and the Empower App project, firstly by the behaviour of Professor Gumley on 4 July 2017 following the CUSP meeting and then when I tried to speak to Professor Jill Pell, being sent packing by Professor McLeod:
You should have smoothed paths to keep me involved @UofGMHW rather than cause division @HamishJMcleod as Programme Director you had power to mend bridges; how sad you chose to do the opposite https://t.co/d8WUJyEDWl— Chrys Muirhead (@ChrysMuirhead) April 5, 2018
I had many challenges last year with son's collapsed lung & neighbour with dementia then anti-social tenant behaviour; finally serious lung op end Nov17, careless discharge, my son's recuperation plus my cracked ribs; difficult xmas; so unfair yours & Gumley's treatment of me https://t.co/dmVHdI4wMR— Chrys Muirhead (@ChrysMuirhead) April 5, 2018
it could have been a Peace Process rather than more sectarianism; me getting bullied, excluded, made out to be the bad Mother, difficult & demanding; when with skilful facilitation it might have been reconciliation & joined-up working, or at least a collaboration of sorts https://t.co/7Lsnzaw2wi— Chrys Muirhead (@ChrysMuirhead) April 5, 2018
I think that everyone loses out when those in power choose to foster divisions rather than create opportunities for reconciliation.
