Conversion therapy: Affirmative care is not about saying yes, and we've been saying that all along

Did anyone catch this? Around 28 minutes.

Apparently children or people accessing therapy "need to be challenged, they need to be in a safe space. That is what affirmative care is about. It's not about saying 'yes'. It's about creating a safe space where people can be affirmed but also then challenged. And that is what we've been proposing all along"

I've read lots of her columns but she was extremely articulate and calmly got all the important points across in the face of hostility. Would love to see her take on Actual Owen Jones or similar where he can't control the narrative of the conversation, there were some issues with cyber bullying from him to women and I think it's possible she was one of them.

Very impressed with Sonia Sodha in that discussion, she needs to be platformed on TV more!
