A new study underscores the importance of gender diversity in the health care industry. The three main points that came out of this study include: 1. Male doctors may underestimate illness in women, 2. Female doctors may communicate more effectively, and 3. Female doctors can help alleviate the embarrassment. If you feel the need for advocacy but are unable to change providers, consider taking a friend along to help articulate your concerns. The good news? There has been a significant uptick in female healthcare providers over the past few years. https://lnkd.in/eA4J7d7n #PBGH #PBGHPA #PeopleYouTrust

Relationship Mentor | Parent mentor supporting individuals, couples, families & workplace organisations understand hidden dynamics of conflict and create psychological safety in interpersonal relating and communication.
All psychological issues of self identity need to be explored with real curiousity and without agenda before any physical intervention. This means the therapist must also be in the continuous process of exploring their own unconscious reality so that they can hold the suffering of another. We are human beings, capable of very strong unconscious wise protectors should we feel under threat or experience trauma. A person needs to be allowed and encouraged to explore what is coming up for them in a safe environment. When one protector such as putting on a brave face no longer works we will find another protector such as depression, to keep our shadow self in place. We fear rejection, humiliation, annihilation of the self and prtect ourselves unconsciously. Depression of any kind is an unconscious protector and a call for real self expression. What am I afraid will happen if I truly express my masculinty/femininity? What are my fears around these expressions? How safe did I feel to express myself in my early relationships. No therapist has the answer for the client. They can only guess at it and help them explore their inner space, gently without bias. The person themselves has the answer to the source of their suffering.
‘A big part of what led me to feeling gender dysphoria was being sexually abused…I was shown that being a woman is to be objectified and to be in pain. I didn't want that.' An utterly tragic story and appalling dereliction of duty by health professionals. Full article: https://lnkd.in/gf8VQk7T

Today as part of #16DaysOfActivism2023 we are drawing attention to the correlation of substance use and violence against women and girls. A study shockingly showed that 2 in 3 (66%) women who use drugs reported interpersonal violence in their life time, which is significantly higher than the already shocking rate for women overall (around 25%). Without further support and options for women who use drugs, we are failing to tackle the associated abuse these women suffer. Action needed now #NoExcuse
