The View Magazine CIC

The lives of women remanded to HMP Bronzefield are being shortened because they are being denied high quality cancer treatment

And we did it.... The View Magazine 11 if women ruled the world is out now! 106 pages of stories, art and women in the criminal justice system who have the unique perspective of learned experience and shared existences lend us their eyes and thoughts to imagine a world we didn't think was possible. Women who never cease to inspire like #zainabsalbi of #thehummingbirdeffect funding women's climate justice initiatives, @courtflorencem on creating a feminist library and the way the #Suffragettes changed the law, and a cancer patient on her painful #breastcancer diagnosis and how she had to let go and rely on herself after her partner ghosted her and fled to Berlin. Art, events, reviews and how mushrooms might help #mentalhealth... And so much more... Women who give, who live, who roar and fight for a better world for us all.

When Susan Pease Bannit transitioned away from her established psychotherapy practice, she brought to light the intricate layers of psychological trauma. Her narrative is more than just a personal tale; it serves as an essential beacon for anyone entangled in the grips of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociative disorders, and the haunting shadows of ritual abuse. The latest episode of our podcast features Susan's profound insights, where she unravels the complexities of trauma and discusses her pivot towards embracing a multifaceted approach to healing, incorporating the mystique of Reiki. Susan's dialogue about the challenging treatment of individuals subjected to ritual abuse by governmental and other institutions reveals the stark reality of those most deeply affected by trauma. Her critique of contemporary claims of trauma stresses the importance of recognizing psychological trauma as a multi-dimensional wound that necessitates an equally comprehensive treatment strategy. The episode delves into the realm of reincarnation—a concept that is often met with scepticism in Western culture but is an integral part of Eastern and indigenous traditions. This introduces a dynamic contrast in perspectives, as Susan's own experiences with past life regressions add an intriguing layer to the discussion. Moreover, she addresses the emergence of a book that serves as an anthology of healing approaches and philosophies from female therapists. This groundbreaking work not only provides a voice to women in a field historically dominated by men but also represents a collection of varied healing practices that aim to empower and bring understanding to those on their path to recovery. As the episode progresses, we hear about Susan's personal journey with Reiki, an energy healing technique that she was initially skeptical about but later found to be incredibly powerful in addressing trauma. Her stories about the non-dual nature of Reiki—how it transcends typical realities and cannot be used for harm—highlight the transformative potential of this practice. Misdiagnoses of PTSD as a personality disorder, particularly among women, are confronted head-on. Susan sheds light on the dire implications of such missteps, which often result in a lack of appropriate support for those seeking help. As the episode wraps up, we're assured of more dialogues with the contributors of the anthology and an exploration of the partnership with The View Magazine—a platform dedicated to amplifying women's voices in the justice system. We'll engage with the stories and insights from various therapists in upcoming episodes, the commitment to mental health and justice remains steadfast. It's a journey of light and darkness, of healing and understanding, all interwoven in the dance of recovery from trauma https://lnkd.in/dRxg8rkv #trauma #traumahealing #ptsd #ritualabuse

Roasting Redemption Have you ever thought about who makes your coffee? This week on the Rebel Justice podcast, we have a rehabilitation special episode and we are joined by Max Dubiel, founder of the celebrated coffee brand, Redemption Roasters, in conversation with Dr Nigel Gould-Davies, former British Ambassador to Belarus and senior FCO civil servant. Their conversation walks us through Dubiel’s journey from university graduate to founder and owner of Redemption Roasters, the coffee company that has been training and employing former prisoners for over 7 years. In the UK, under 20% of prisoners find employment within six weeks of release, the figure dropping even lower for female prisoners at a rate of just 4%. Thus, whilst Dubiel maintains a business heavy mindset, in committing to this project he had to make the decision between “profit and purpose”. Redemption Roasters has established 10 coffee shops based in London, 9 Coffee Academies all over the UK, training prisoners in employable barista skills, and their very own in-prison Roastery at HMP The Mount. We're delighted that Redemption Roasters will be developing an exclusive Caledonian Road blend for The View Café soon! By equipping former prisoners with the skills and confidence to reintegrate into society, Redemption Roasters reduces reoffending one latte at a time.

It was a privilege to be a guest on the Rebel Justice podcast. We had an eye-opening and important discussion about whether or not justice truly prevails in the UK's criminal appeals system. This episode is more than just a revelation of systemic faults. It's a clarion call for modernization and compassion in a system that affects lives long after the courtroom falls silent. I was joined by the excellent Simon Natas. Together we also confronted the criminal justice crisis... Speaking on topics like: • The dire state of incarceration for individuals with mental health issues. • The importance of strong and fearless defence.     • The Court of Appeal's narrow criteria and the 'lurking doubt' that haunts some convictions. Thank you to both the Rebel Justice Society and The View Magazine CIC for having me on again to share my views. You can listen to both my episodes here: EP:1 The Quest for Judicial Equity in the Shadow of Unsafe Convictions → https://lnkd.in/e5GMXBAt EP:2 Transformative Justice and the Power of Legal Representation → https://lnkd.in/euBG2z8A I'd love to hear your thoughts too.
