As I psychologist I often encourage people to notice the rise and fall in life. This morning I practiced this for myself: 🦊 💩 on the doorstep = fall Sub-zero temperatures froze it solid, so it was much easier to pick up = rise And it's not even 0730 on a Wednesday.

Interesting (and potentially clinically helpful discussion for those experiencing long lasting pain) between @painphysio and @Paindofficial. Worth keeping tabs on PAIND this year and reaching out if it resonates with you open.spotify.com/episode/3Lg…

It breaks my heart that the country’s nurses have been driven to this. I will stand by them with every fibre of my being. You cannot deliver world class healthcare on pitifully paid NHS toil @RishiSunak @Jeremy_Hunt. Pay.Nurses. What. They. Deserve. theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…

Really excellent resource re: mindfulness and pain!
We teamed up with The Oxford Psych to create our first animated video on one of our key concepts of Mindfulness-based Pain & Illness Management. We hope that you find it informative and enlightening, and if you do, please share it wider! youtube.com/watch?v=m0_hkj75…
