This session will incorporate "shared reading" ,a practice that can be recommended to patients, shown to have benefits for wellbeing and mental health. There will be an opportunity for creative writing and a safe space to share reflections. We will read extracts from the very funny book "A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon as a prompt for thinking about the perception of the GP, anxiety and mental health ,stigma and family dynamics.
