I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor currently available for online and face to face sessions in Washington, Sunderland and Heaton, Newcastle. I am an Integrative Counsellor (FdA) who works mainly in the person-centered approach which means that at the heart of my work lie empathy, unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental attitude. I can help with the big questions and the personal issues. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or enquiries.

That's the end of my video series on Moral Panic and Truth. Thanks for sticking with me. I hope that in a time of moral panic, it gives you a little more hope that it may be a symptom of change and challenge to the norms rather than the imminent moral demise of society.

Episode #10 Moral Panic and Truth
The nature of truth.
What is truth? How do we even know what is true and what is not? And how do disentangle truth from perception?

An aside on the Devil!

Why does he make an appearance in so many of our moral panics?

Episode #9 Nostalgia
Why do retreat into the good ol' days when things seem to be morally falling apart around us?

And a moral panic close to my heart. Education has often been a target for moral panic, attracting as it does lefty extremists (tongue firmly in cheek here). This speech from Margaret Thatcher in 1987, describes the moral decline of education. A good example of how the moral panic argument can be changed from 'the problem is the youth' to 'protect the kids'.

This quote from the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury's Speech in 1843 to the House of Commons bemoans the morals of the next generation. Often, the rebellion of the next generation, changing attitudes to what is and is not socially acceptable and the threat that unruly youth present make great moral panic targets.

The misogyny in this one is pretty brutal. Often, the folk devils for a moral panic are often related to class and sexuality. In this case, the respectable daughters of the middle to upper classes of 1816 London are at risk of the moral corruption of the Waltz.

Sound familiar? We've been worrying about the moral behaviour of the kids for longer than you think. If you hadn't sussed the language use, you might have thought this could be an opinion piece in a particularly modern morally panicky newspaper. However, this is a quote from 1695. Written by Robert Russel in his book A Little Book for Children and Youth (subtitled Being Good Counsel and Instructions for Your Children, Earnestly Exhorting Them to Resist the Temptation of the Devil ...)

How about the Bible? The bible has several examples (Noah and the flood, S***m and Gommorah) of societies that were so morally corrupt that they were destroyed by God, saving only the holy and righteous.

Every society throughout human history has made the claim that their society is the worst and in the grip of a moral decline, especially the next generation. We'll start with Aristotle, in the 4th century BC describing the youth of the day.
