PaRx (@HBNCanada) is celebrating one million nature prescriptions! When @MissTWrites first attempted to fulfill her PaRx nature prescription, she wondered if she was doing it right. Yet, day after day, something began to shift within her. Read more at bcpf.ca

It's not every day someone you grew up with writes about the childhood experiences that led to your future career. Thanks @MissTwrites for including @bcparksfdn's #PaRx in this @yesmagazine excerpt from your new book—and congrats on its release. yesmagazine.org/health-happine… @CAPE_ACME

Somatic reappraisal, a new therapeutic approach gaining traction as an alternative to traditional talk therapy, can help us better understand how the language we use about our bodies—and its sensations—can shape how we feel, writes @MissTwrites thewalrus.ca/talk-out-depre…


Misty Pratt, Writer Reposted

A growing scientific understanding of the mind-body connection is proving that the way we heal from trauma is not typically by thinking our way out—such as in talk therapy—but “primarily within and through our bodies,” writes @MissTwrites thewalrus.ca/talk-out-depre…


Misty Pratt, Writer Reposted

"Healing from anxiety, depression, and trauma largely depends on how we reframe emotional experiences, but in a way that taps into the body–mind connection rather than simply replacing “bad” thoughts with more helpful ones." @MissTwrites in @thewalrus thewalrus.ca/talk-out-depre…


Misty Pratt, Writer Reposted

Researchers who study the effectiveness of different approaches to therapy must make a concerted effort to address the barriers preventing racialized women—a chronically underrepresented group—from participating in clinical trials, writes @MissTwrites thewalrus.ca/talk-out-depre…


Delighted to have this excerpt published in The Walrus! I don’t think we talk enough about the limitations of CBT.

“It’s so important for girls and women to become detectives of their own bodily experience.” Read an excerpt from All In Her Head: How Gender Bias Harms Women's Mental Health by @MissTwrites, published by @greystonebooks: thewalrus.ca/talk-out-depre…



Happy UK Pub Day to All In Her Head!! As a Very British Person (both in blood and in spirit) I am super excited to see my book travel across the pond! If you live in the UK and spot it in stores, I would love to hear from you 🥳

Published TODAY in the UK - All In Her Head: How Gender Bias Harms Women's Mental Health, by Misty Pratt (@MissTwrites). It's a provocative, personal book which explores how women experience mental health care differently than men - and lays out how the system must change.

Thank you Sarah, for reading and reviewing!! These are great questions that I should answer in my Substack…once I can finally find time to write again 🙈

Today's blog post is a review of @MissTwrites 's ALL IN HER HEAD, about the experiences of women and mental health in the medical system. Spoiler alert: it's a good read, though I had some questions about her own story. watershednotes.ca/2024/05/29/rev…



Hey it's me...in the Daily Mail! Very grateful to have reached such a wide audience in the UK and can't wait for the book to be published there on June 6th!

I thought my anxiety was genetic, says MISTY PRATT. Then I discovered why so many women are diagnosed with depression and given pills they don't need trib.al/LLnba5h
