A look at the multi-dimensional concept of admission as a pivotal mechanism for psychological and physical healing. By exploring the dual nature of the term, we distinguish between confessing a hidden truth and allowing in support or vulnerability. This shift is presented as a transition from a defensive, fragmented state to one of radical acceptance and integration. Somatically, the act of admitting is described as a neuromuscular release that moves the body from survival-based bracing to a state of safety and connection. Ultimately, we re-frame recovery as a movement away from the shame of a courtroom and toward the openness of a doorway. This architectural and biological transformation allows individuals to stop acting as gatekeepers against themselves and begin hosting their lived reality.

3–2. Millions of us collectively decided that sleep was optional, caffeine was medicinal, and Future Me could deal with the consequences. Judging by social media this morning, Future Me is not happy. Everyone’s shattered. Everyone’s saying they’re running on two hours’ sleep. Everyone’s wondering how they’re expected to function at work today. Which made me laugh… …because for a lot of people with ADHD, you’ve just accidentally sampled the free trial. Welcome. This is Monday. Your brain finally wakes up just as the rest of the world is winding down. Midnight? Productive. 1am? Fancy reorganising your life. 2am? Hang on… do fish ever get thirsty? Then, just as sleep starts sounding like a sensible idea… BEEEEEEP. Alarm. Work. School run. Meetings. Pretend you’re a functioning member of society while internally you’re running on a packet of crisps, blind optimism and whatever caffeine hasn’t yet given up. The difference is… Most people chose one late night because England were playing. People with ADHD often don’t get that choice. Yet somehow… we still turn up. Still work. Still parent. Still smile politely when someone says, “God, I’m exhausted today.” Thinking… “Aye… same. Since about 1992.” 🤣

Hello everyone, my tiny brain has a big question! I’ve been doing boundaries training today and we spoke a lot about person and professional relationships and what is or isn’t acceptable behaviour. We work in very chaotic and challenging environments and when discussing boundaries there seemed to be two opposing opinions in the room: 1. We work in chaos therefore we need to have strict rules and boundaries. People have no structure or rules in their lives so we must be black and white. 1. We work in chaos therefore we need to have flexible rules and boundaries. People have no structure or rules in their lives so we have to meet them in a shade of grey. What’s everyone’s thoughts on professional boundaries?
