"Disconnecting from work" - A conversation with Ross McIntosh

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.
