ALT It is disheartening & predictable to see Suzanne O’Sullivan once again given a platform to promote psychosomatic explanations for chronic illness — this time in a Telegraph article attacking disabled people as influenced by social media, identity and attention. There is a fundamental problem with this framework: it creates a self-reinforcing evidential trap. If patients accept a psychosomatic explanation, it confirms the theory. If they reject it, their distress is interpreted as evidence that they are psychologically invested in being ill. If they seek support from other patients, that's “social reinforcement”.

The image on the card shows the dark blue Christmas tree, decorated with sparkling fairy lights, baubles and a star on the top, in a snowy landscape against a starry backdrop. The design is in the #ThereForME colours.
