When Work Hurts

"Disconnecting from work" - A conversation with Ross McIntosh


Listen Later

Disconnecting from work can be a real struggle for many people working in healthcare -which can have a huge impact on our mental health.

In this episode Dr Paula Redmond speaks to work psychologist Ross McIntosh about about bringing contextual behavioural science and ACT to the workplace - particularly around disconnecting from work.

Ross guides Paula (and you) through a useful exercise (the ACT Matrix) to help you disconnect so you might want to find a quiet spot to listen. Click here for the accompanying handout.

There's also a bonus episode today of an additional exercise so keep an eye out in your podcast app.

You can hear more of Ross on his podcast People Soup which can be heard through your podcast app or via his website www.rossmcintosh.co.uk
