Still can’t believe it 💜 Honoured to deliver 2 keynotes + 3 panels at the #LipoedemaAustralia Conference 2025 in Canberra.

I think kindness is most important quality in psychotherapists.
Not usually sufficient to good outcome but almost always necessary.
Real problem in psych field that kindness is so ignored in selection/training/practice.
Some of worst therapists I've known have been supersmart.
Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.
Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.
Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.
