There is an upside to SOME stress and it boils down to mindset. When a person feels stressed blood vessels constrict. Study shows those who saw stress as helpful responded similarly to when someone is happy/brave. @kellymcgonigal#stress#strengthsbased https://t.co/kfZQob0mQy

Many thanks to the staff and whai ora of Te Wairua in Auckland for making me so welcome today and for the fascinating questions. It has been a privilege and honour to spend the day with you #odyssey

A couple of weeks ago I got the pleasure of spending time with Hinewirangi Kohu Morgan at her beautiful home and attending Waikeria Prison to be a part of the graduation ceremony for the Mauri Tu Pae programme. It was incredible 👏🏽#inspirational#recovery#cultural#awareness
Spent the afternoon discussing recovery capital whilst making bliss balls with some lovely ladies @OdysseyAkl Cafe for the community information expo event at New Lynn Library tomorrow #recovery#auckland#blissballs
@JennyValentish Ventured up north... got a flat tyre... learnt how to change a flat tyre 👍🏾
Am now with Hinewirangi. I am on a new Zealand number - i'll drop you a whatsapp :)
Thanks @dapaanz for hosting me for @CuttingEdge2018 and @JennyValentish for getting me to the gym. Rotorua, you might smell of egg but you are beautiful. Now to explore the rest of New Zealand...

If more proof were needed that psychedelics are going to revolutionise the mental-health system (sloooowly), this forthcoming film, Dead Dog on the Left, will be it. https://t.co/QGwx6G5cgB @stephenjbright
Johann opened up todays #CuttingEdgeConference2018 (woo!) with his book #ChasingTheScream. Easily my favourite read of 2018 is his latest book Lost Connections on anxiety and depression - inspiring and powerful. In other groundbreaking news... bug is found in New Zealand Spa
I am in New Zealand. It’s strangely inspiring to be in a country where the lead news story in the best-selling newspaper is ‘Bug found in high-rise spa’
