Just officially decided to stop working on a large clinical randomised controlled trial research grant that I was leading after 4.5 years of work. We got to the final stage and were rejected I'd say very unfairly. We now fall through gaps of remaining funding options #academia not big enough for one

Whenever I mark CBT recordings the feedback I seem to always give is: Slow down, pause. Pausing when your client says something difficult or insightful is in validating and powerful. Let the emotion 'lie' in the room. You don't have to fill the silence. A bit of silence can be very therapeutic!
