Should Counsellors Stay Silent? My Massive Facebook Pile-On

Episode Description from the Publisher

My weekend went completely wild on social media after I shared my unfiltered thoughts regarding public events, safeguarding, and women's rights. Before I knew it, activist groups targeted my page in a coordinated pile-on, demanding that I be reported and denounced to professional bodies like the NCPS.In this video, I’m reading the exact comments left by the bullies and laying it all out. As a counsellor, I keep my personal politics entirely out of the therapy room—my clients always get 100% focused, professional support. But outside of work, I refuse to censor my voice or be intimidated by institutional pressure when it comes to whistleblowing on crucial safeguarding issues and defending sex-based realities.Watch to see the reality of what happened, and let me know your thoughts in the comments: Should professionals keep their mouths shut, or use their voices to speak out?See the original post and conversation here: https://www.facebook.com/Kellyjaneoliverdougall/posts/pfbid01GRWwDFwLj8Ed6C6rqvDCE2pyQkwtQsq4TgiQuCepWRcPUdnWTg4Pq7n1RdE68mXl
