@JLorenzMerle Thanks for sharing! This made me think of a piece that was recently written on empathic distress and techniques to reduce it but still foster the positive effects of compassion.

Debt creates mental overload and anxiety which focuses people on present rather than future. Study finds reducing debt improves cognition and anxiety. This has implications for health prevention (a future focus) as well.

@cole_hooley @ClayCook_phd I love the life bus metaphor! AND after short psychoed, I love teaching FEAR plan from Coping Cat (Feeling frightened, Expecting the worst, Attitudes to actions, Reaping the rewards) or Name it, Tame it, Reclaim it. I think having and easy coping plan to bring to mind is ππ
"...it can be extremely tempting to get laser focused on the task at hand and forget about everything else. And, although this makes us very effective, it comes at a hefty price: we forget to play, to explore, and to even to grow..." Love this quote.. relevant to being human π

A few weeks ago, I shared my experiences with @Yale's Office of Career Strategy
I talked about being a tenure-track professor, therapist, management consultant, & entrepreneur

At least within mental health, this feels like the understatement of the year! :) We are doing poorly building patient "pull" for our evidence-based Tx. #ImpSci has been talking abt this since I first discovered it (~12 yrs), but I've seen few good strategies at the patient level
Thought-provoking piece re #impsci. "..raise the questions of whether other researchers are the primary target audience of implementation science knowledge and the extent to which the knowledge produced in the field actually reaches beyond academia." https://t.co/0P56OAMl5s
