wake up lads its time to talk about sin

[Murphy]

Slippery. You appear to have issues with both qualitative and quantitative data. Ok. Let's break it down.

Charities rely on funding, unless you're the Priory group of cunts. Funding requires bids to pay for resources like staff. It's how we plan ahead. Do i appreciate having to present these abstractions as proof that funding is needed? Man, they're the bane of my existence, but if you don't ask you don't get. Philanthropy (as a financial aid) doesn't really exist in the UK when it comes to mental health. Which is fucked up, because plenty of people want to volunteer and demand for treatment has never been higher. Let C19 run its course for added weight, about 18months from now.

The NHS overlaps with and bolts onto certain charitable services/sectors, which requires evidence of proof that the science which therapeutic interventions are based on are definitively healing/treating (distinctions) people. I've seen the look on client faces when presented with core-stats sheets for the first time where their psychological pain is then interpreted via number charts. That can be a road-block alert right there for some. I've had it out with psychology teams for discharging patients way too early face to face, that have included 'look at his/her core stats, they're good to go', then a week or so later said client gets found under a tube train. Unfortunately, without these metrics it's too easy for a political administration like the Tory govt to remove the NHS from continuing such interactions and dismiss the problems altogether.

Outreach projects are frontline. We've seen appalling drop off rates during Covid for addiction profiles. People are rinsing combinations of opiates and benzos at greater volumes than ever. However, if i can record this massive regional fissure 'live', weekly, monthly etc, then there's more chance that extra therapists and toxicology specialists will be seconded to work alongside our teams. This can include well-meaning post-grads and hardy professionals who are foreign nationals willing to try and negotiate the Brexit visa landscape. Far from easy.

So much trauma is tied to 'sin'. Abused people don't trust strangers. It takes time and patience to establish a relationship. That we are obliged to put metrics on numbers and values on core-stats for trauma is paradoxical. Would i rather that this realm of existence was ring-fenced permanently, with adaptive funding streams created to facilitate extra demands? Of course, but life and health-care in Britain don't work that way - this country only pays lip service to valuing the dignity of the human being's spirit and obfuscates via language AND metrics.

If you've studied therapy, check this for a joke

That's all i need to say on the subject.

Confession of Sin

The Officiant says to the people

Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of
Almighty God our heavenly Father, to render thanks for the
great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth
his most worthy praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for
ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are
necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may
prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us
kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts
confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his
infinite goodness and mercy.

or this

Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.

Silence may be kept.

Officiant and People together, all kneeling

Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep,
we have followed too much the devices and desires of our
own hearts,
we have offended against thy holy laws,
we have left undone those things which we ought to
have done,



Morning Prayer I 41

---

and we have done those things which we ought not to
have done.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
spare thou those who confess their faults,
restore thou those who are penitent,
according to thy promises declared unto mankind
in Christ Jesus our Lord;
and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life,
to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

The Priest alone stands and says

The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and
remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of
life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.
