Perspectives:
A new DDK exercise has dropped! Say this word six times:
“I haven’t slept for a week, because that would be too long” is an example of a PARAPROSDOKIAN—a figure of speech in which the end of a sentence is somehow unexpected and so forces the opening to be reanalyzed. Derived from Greek, the term literally means ‘against expectation’.

Interesting thread on supervision and isolation in private practice:
Clinical supervision in SLT - who regulates this in private practice? I prioritise this in my team and keep records. I’ve seen so many private SLTs working in isolation and worry that clinical supervision gets missed!
