#OffTheCouch
Off the couch moment:
Yesterday wasn’t about my finish time. I spent the month co-leading open water swim classes and Wednesday rides around Lake Sammamish — watching the new triathletes cross their first triathlon finish line is why I was on that start line. #offthecouch #medalmonday #trilife

We’re obsessed with the Letterboxd discourse, but we’re taking the analysis off the couch. 🎬

Is "If I Had Legs I’d Kick You" pure catharsis? Is "Black Phone 2" a trauma loop? Plus, the inner-child themes in "IF." Our clinical deep dives are live on YouTube now! 🛋️✨

🧠 #CouchNugget:

Ever notice how you remember an unfinished task better than one you’ve completed? This is the Zeigarnik Effect.

Our brains stay in a state of "tension" until a task is closed. It’s why cliffhangers in TV dramas keep us hooked! 📺

🛋️ From training to the couch.

Ant & Shelly here! We’ve worked together since 2014—from training to schools & the NHS. 🎓

We’ve seen too many "shoddy" therapists on TV, so we're showing the real side of mental health. Get to know us:

🧒 How do we help kids talk about "big emotions"?

In part one, Shelly shares practical, "no-judgment" tools for parents & teachers to build a child’s emotional language.

It’s about building connection before the crisis.

🛋️ New to the sofa?

Before we dived into #BBCBabies, we broke down the psychological tension of Black Phone 2. 📞🩸

We explored the trauma and how survival instincts evolve when facing a recurring nightmare.

Another oot and aboot in the snow. Another getting off my couch and backside. Definitely making a habit of this, and why not.

Absolutely this…. #OFFTHECOUCH.
We're 100% behind Sen. Kelly. If you're not involved with your local Democratic committee, it's time to get off your couch and help flip Congress BLUE in November. This. Crap. Must. Stop.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Last day of the holiday and a cracking wee oot and aboot.
Wee oot and aboot, I thought 10km should do it. However it didn't feel cold, it wasn't bad underfoot and I was enjoying it too much.
