Working from home today, to make some real progress on a training design project I'm working on. All about #PsychologicalFlexibility and how to cultivate it.

Avoiding a very chilly commute is just a welcome side effect!

G’day - I’m a #psychology academic and clinical psychologist at La Trobe University and Northern Health in Melbourne, Australia. I research #PsychologicalFlexibility and process-based therapies, including #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy and #cbtworks , for #psychosis and #insomnia

Hoping to connect to folk with similar interests!
