What could “like-minded” even mean in this context? 😆😳💀🪦
I’m not hiking for the cardio; I’m hiking for the tiny miracles.
I’m obsessed with the tiny signs of hope hidden on the trail, like the first flowers of early spring. In a loud world, these small, persistent cycles are where I find my peace.

Reading my way through psychiatry textbooks from around the world, comparing how they begin.
A US textbook begins with the brain.
An Indian one with the clinical examination.
A British one with the patient's perspective.
What comes first is rarely accidental.

I can attest, Jason and OT are the real deal for rewiring and reconnecting the mind and body. Unbelievably game changing for #FND, #ARFID, #OCD and neurodivergence. I definitely don't want to miss this talk March 7th.
I’m excited to be learning from Julie Hershberg, PT, DPT, NCS during a 2-day, hands-on Functional Neurological Disorder training in North Houston.

photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇
Hooray! Now I have a new podcast to check out! Thank you!!!
took to the streets! It spread, it was epic, it felt like there would be victory!!! And the powerful people suppressed it again... wages slowly rose, and the richies were more afraid of the peasants and so subtly quietly eased up but didn't admit it or formalize it til way later. Le sigh.
The uppercrust Richies who had not died from plague were not about to negotiate with the little people. They passed legislation to keep wages low and prevent people from moving for a better job. Consequences were fines, branding, prison! I'm not saying it's a direct parrellel but people finally...
Well, if you don't mind me nerding out right quick. There was the Black Death Plague that wiped out ~50% of the European population. In England, that meant there was a lot of empty land needing labor and a lot less people to do the job. Suddenly, peasants could MOVE, CHOOSE, demand higher pay. 🧵
Are they worried about another "Peasants Revolt?" The one before did follow a pandemic that made labor realize the depth of their worth and not settle for less... #iykyk
Fue muy divertido colaborar. Buenas noches y que descanses.🫶
En el párrafo 7, el público original de este libro son niños y adolescentes que asisten a la escuela con TNF. Por eso dice que se debe pedir permiso para tomarse un tiempo libre. Sin embargo, aquí también lo usan los adultos. En ese contexto, ¿tiene sentido?
¡Me encantaría tener la oportunidad! Gracias. Esperamos traducir un pequeño libro que usamos en las clínicas de TNF en EE. UU. y UK. Los traductores son un neurólogo de Guatemala y un terapeuta de México. Queremos asegurarnos de que sea comprensible en diferentes comunidades hispanohablantes.
¡Ah, esos comentarios sobre los párrafos 6 y 7 son perfectos! Aunque no estoy seguro de a cuáles te refieres. ¿Cuál es el tema general de cada sección problemática? Gracias por su ayudar.

I think of a sensory diet as a way to grow capacity, not manage symptoms.
You’re not just coping better: you’re working with a bigger bucket.
Taking a break from studies to hang out with trees was an excellent choice, today. 🍃
Brilliant! This could lead to a powerful intervention. I'm too hangry to say more, but looking forward to reading the study.
Qué bueno conectar, Pozik. Me interesaría mucho tu opinión sobre unos recursos que estoy traduciendo al español para mejorar el acceso al tratamiento eficaz para el TNF. ¿Podríamos charlar un poco ("nerd out") sobre el arte del TNF?
Crucially, adverse life events are not universally present in FND and should not form the basis for diagnosis. However, when they are present, the nature of stressors shapes the clinical phenotype and should inform an individualised management approach.
Reclaiming FND for Rehabilitation Medicine – new open access editorial
Neurorehab colleague Phil Milburn-McNulty and I set out why Rehab Medicine is so well-suited to treating FND, why they historically haven’t and what can be done to change things.

This workbook is aimed at kids and teenagers but honestly I think it’s a really practical resource for anyone with FND. Highly recommend!

Glad you’re resting and resetting (And, my favorite, eating food that is brought to your door!) 🥡🥢
I LOVE this benevolent perspective today. OTs are experts at brain/body rewiring. Reminds me to remember there’s hope for everyone! (with professional help).
Muchas gracias por capturar como piece ser el apoyo. Me encantan las imagenes. 🎨🧡💙
What a fantastic welcome! Thank you 💙🧡 So happy to be among you under the big blue sky.
