It would be really helpful if you could take the time to complete this important research study on bullying…
I'm recruiting participants for an online questionnaire based study to explore the impact of bullying in school on compassion in adulthood. You are eligible to enter if you have or have not experienced bullying. Please enter and share! Thank you southampton.qualtrics.com/jf…

Here’s another great app from the company who developed our Self-Compassion App! Check it out if you get a chance… @illume_app @johannhari101 #lostconnections #selfcompassion
I have exciting news! Lots of people who read my book ‘Lost Connections: Why You Are Depressed - and How To Find Hope’ asked for an app based on it. We developed it over 2yrs: apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-c…
