Her keen insight into what it is to be human holds the dialectic tension of this struggle in balance; just as you find yourself hurtling down a cul de sac of the impossible and a full stop you realise that the full stop is actually a comma!</p><p><strong>About the Author</strong></p><p>As a young person Cairns was treated in the NHS with electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) but since then has worked in the mental health sector of the NHS in a variety of roles most recently as a consultant family psychotherapist with children and young people and their families. Writing from experience of both sides of the mental health fence Cairns is easy to categorise as a vegetarian tree-hugging pacifist of uncertain gender or as a literary-minded caring professional but does not like labels of any kind and would prefer you to read some of these poems and come to your own conclusions.</p><p><strong>Description</strong></p><p>In this book Carrie’s writings embody this mystery of our lives as a living paradox.
