Children with early-life trauma don’t need miracles. What they need is simple, predictable, and repeatable.

I’m humbled by the response to my recent article in the Irish Examiner on inequality & privilege. The conversations remind me how important it is to amplify voices so often unheard. Looking forward to contributing more publicly on these issues. 🔗irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

🚨 We’re becoming so desensitized. 15,580 homeless, 4,775 of them children, each with a name, a story, a dream. All paying the price for systemic failure. We must refuse to accept this as normal. Housing is a right, not a privilege rte.ie/news/2025/0530…

Not being allowed to cry, rage or speak up as a child? Now you wonder why you feel numb, anxious and struggle in relationships. Here’s how childhood wounds form and how to heal (by Dr. Gabor Maté): 🧵

‘Some of us are born with the safety net of privilege, others with the trapdoor of poverty’. Lyrical & purposeful writing from ⁦Thomas O Driscoll⁩ in the ⁦Irish Examiner⁩ irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

When you grow up in up in a abnormal, harsh psychological environment where your needs aren't met,your brain & body are working to protect you. You learn to suppress, disconnect & adapt to survive. You stop dreaming, hoping .You internalise a message that you were the problem🧠🌱

68% of our most vulnerable children are left without a Social Worker -- no one consistently looking out for their for their safety, needs & rights. This is not just neglect; it’s a national disgrace. A truly damning indictment of our care system. Norma Foley T.D

Unhealed wounds and buried shame often show up as blame. When we don’t own our choices, we tend to deflect, deny, or attack anyone who holds up a mirror. And the result? We stay stuck in the very patterns we’re desperate to escape. Real growth begins where radical honesty starts.

A survivor’s counselling notes are not a courtroom weapon. Tearing open private healing retraumatizes, it doesn’t serve justice, it shreds it. Survivors deserve protection, not cross-examination of the sexual abuse they endured. thejournal.ie/counselling-no…

It costs €84,000 a year to keep someone in prison. A child in crisis isn’t a future criminal unless we fail them. Support, mentorship & care cost a fraction. Cork’s data is clear: Early Help Changes Lives. irishexaminer.com/news/courtandc…

Delighted to be invited by Psychological Society of Ireland to speak at their Public Lecture Series this September in Dublin. Joining a panel on equality, diversity & inclusion, sharing insights from lived experience & frontline social work. Thanks to Dr Sharon Lambert for opening the door.

The way someone treats you is not a reflection of your worth. It’s a reflection of their own emotional state. Their capacity. Their learned patterns. And often, it’s a projection of something they can’t—or won’t—see in themselves.

I’ve met parents doing everything they can to give their children love, safety & stability in conditions most people couldn’t endure. They’re not failing. They’re surviving. Yet poverty is still not central to child protection. That must change 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/poverty-…
