As helpful, inventive, and informative as scientific research might be, it rarely reaches mainstream media. Scientific research is predominantly aimed at university students, doctors, professors, investors, or other researchers. This is why I decided not just to focus on writing scientific papers for scientific audiences. My aim is to promote my findings to a broader audience, to my scientific peers and to the broader community. As great as it is to share scientific findings within the scientific cohort, it’s not only the scientific community that appreciates a deeper insight that people with disability have the right and want to have a sexual quality of life, it’s also society itself. To give the broader community an awareness of the lived experience of people with a disability and to update them in scientific research conducted around Spinal Cord Injury, I wrote a suspense romance novel, ‘Secret Forces’, that is available on Amazon. The narrative invites readers to get a deeper insight into my main character’s living with a spinal cord injury. The novel aims to give an insight into the daily lives of people with disability while also raising awareness that people with disability do have fulfilled romantic lives and deep and meaningful relationships with their friends and families. https://lnkd.in/dDAYHW8W #RomanceNovel #SpinalCordInjury #PWD #PeopleWithDisability #Amazon #RaisingAwareness #SexualQualityOfLife

No one wants to believe that we live in a society full of rude people. No one wants to believe that the rude behavior of some people could be traced back to a toxic family dynamic. We, as humans, evolve in interesting ways and child development as well as the environment we live in, how we perceive reaility, and the traumas we experience can all negatively impact daily behavior. But could there also be some other factors we are missing? Personality theory says there is. In this live chat, I discuss the psychology of rude people. ---------------------------------------------------------- #trauma #TOXICRELATIONSHIPS #toxicfamily

Some great wisdom in this video from Michael. Especially relevant for professions and systems responding to trauma where the impacts of the work can lead to heightened activation of our own amygdala, making 'amygdala hijacking' easier. https://lnkd.in/gMrFgcqA

While the title is about bodily autonomy in Covid, most of this article is about our tendency to label, negatively, others when we are in dispute with them and thus see them as less 'human' or even not human at all and of less worth such that we can justify demonising them, abusing them to the point of even killing them. This is not just at the 'violent war' level but at the level of our own interpersonal relationship breakdowns with others. The beginning of any situation becoming stuck starts with us moving from discussion of an issue we may disagree with a person or just see things differently, to labelling the person we disagree with. We move from the issue to the person and seek to denigrate them, rather than seek to learn more about their perspective of the issue and why they see things as they do. It often starts with that they are 'unreasonable' or 'less educated' on to more severe labels, such as that in the article of 'filthy vermin'......and then on to violence...and war.

I loved your book! It was so rewarding to read fiction with a strong disabled protagonist. No pressure but if you are looking for your next project, I think there would be significant interest in a story that includes a main character with fluctuating or hidden disability, including how they navigate family perceptions and relationships. Sadly I loaned my copy to someone and I don't remember who! I'm hoping whoever has it returns it or passes it to someone else, so it can reach its next reader
