A Time and Place to Breathe
Bill Mitchell & Linda Gask chaired by Theresa Talbot

2.15pm – 3.15pm BST*

Right now life has never seemed more overwhelming. The COVID pandemic, working from home and lockdowns have turned our working lives upside down, further blurring the line between work and home. Dr Bill Mitchell is here to help - a psychologist with decades of experience specialising in helping the overwhelmed, overstressed and overscheduled rebalance their personal and professional lives. In Time to Breathe, Dr Bill brings you invaluable tried and tested, practical solutions from his clinical practice that will help you prioritise what is most important and ensure you stay in a happy, energised space - no matter what is going on around you. Beneath the wide skies of Orkney Linda Gask recalls her career as a consultant psychiatrist and her lifelong struggle with her own mental health. After the favelas of Brazil, the glittering cities of the Middle East, and the forests of Haida Gwaii, she writes in Finding True North about finding perspective, spiritual relief, and healing in her new home.
