Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode:
How to thrive spending time alone – with Francesca Specter
Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.
For a variety of reasons in psychology we might find ourselves needing or choosing to spend large chunks of time by ourselves alone. But this can be frowned upon by others and also conjur up tricky thoughts and feelings for us too. In today’s episode I am joined by Times Book of The Year Author, Francesca Specter where we discuss how to understand and Nail spending time by yourself. I wish I’d had access to this episode when I was an Aspiring psychologist.
I’d of course love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
