Tidal

Recovery and Reclamation

Shoma Morita
Accept your feelings
Know your purpose
And do what needs to be done
Thomas Szasz
Life is not a problem to be solved
Life is something to be lived,
as intelligently, as competently
as well as we can
day in an day out
Life is something we must endure
There is no solution for it.
Poppy Buchanan-Barker
People often say that Tidal is 'just common sense'.
But not everyone works like this
So, Tidal may be a form of 'uncommon sense'
Rollo May
The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free
to help people become free to be aware of
and to experience their possibilities.
Phil Barker
Nothing lasts
Neither our misery nor our joy
If we were wise
We would live 'seize the day'
And live in the moment.

The Tidal Architects

In developing the philosophical and practice base of the Tidal Model Poppy Buchanan-Barker and Phil Barker have drawn upon their extensive experience of health and social care; psychotherapy and counselling.

They have had the opportunity to work with many people from different societies and cultures around the world. What have they learned?

"Almost everyone we have met appear to have the same worries, joys, hopes and dreams in their lives. They might express them differently and use different words but, boil it down, and it is just the same".

"Almost everyone wants someone to listen to them. Everybody wants a 'good hearing'".

"There is nothing new in human caring. Being human is age-old. Sitting down with someone, talking and listening, are the starting points of any relationship. There are no new ways to do this - only different ways".
