Some interesting research here for smart watch wearers. Tracking “body battery” can be extremely helpful, especially for ADHD/Autistic folks recovering from burnout, but it’s important to remember that a high “stress score” really just means high arousal which also occurs when you are overjoyed, excited or just active!

“In conclusion, the Garmin Stress Score reflects mood in a context- and valence-dependent way. Rather than negative stress, high scores indicate positive arousal; low scores signal calm. Misinterpreting this signal may mislead consumers and limit the device’s value for emotional tracking, pointing to the need for improved wearable metrics and deeper real-world research.”

We're pleased to announce that Lisa will be returning to the office in a limited capacity this month, offering both therapy and assessments. This means that she is able to open her books to new and returning clients. Lisa will be offering telehealth appointments out of hours on weekdays (great for squeezing in before and after school/work) and face to face appointments on Saturdays.

New clients and those returning after more than 6 months can contact our office by phone or email to book admin@lisabolandpsychology.com
0410903823

Returning clients who have had appointments in the last 6 months are invited to use our online booking system https://www.lisabolandpsychology.com/online-bookings

We recommend contacting us ASAP as in our experience these spots fill up fast. Please bare in mind that we are a flexible workplace, and therefore aren't always immediately contactable, we will do our absolute best to respond to your messages as soon as we can in this busy post-Christmas break period.

To allow for individuals as well as groups to connect and pay their respects to Dr Jonathan, his dedication table has been moved to our second waiting room.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Dr Jonathan Grimshaw of Picton Family Medical Practice. He was a dedicated GP, proud Dad and a truly loved and valued member of our community.

It’s the holidays! Friendly reminder that decades of beavioural research has shown that children who are rewarded for reading have poorer literacy outcomes than those who don’t receive rewards 📚 Research also shows that children who are genuinely interested in what they are reading have better literacy outcomes than those whose reading choices are prescribed 📚 So throw those holiday reading logs on the fire and fill those stockings with comic books!

“By YouTube's own admission, teenagers will be less safe if they are using their platform without an account.”

BTN High tests what YouTube content will be viewable without an account ahead of next month's social media ban, as an academic says the restrictions are unlikely to change what young people are watching.
