Therapeutic knitting with Dr Mia Hobbs and Dr Paula Redmond

Welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. I am really excited to have Dr Paula Redmond and Dr Mia Hobbs here to talk to me about their new venture in the world of therapeutic knitting. They are both clinical psychologists and avid knitters, and also both alumni of Psychology Business School, so I’m particularly pleased to have them here to talk about their new audio course, which is guiding people in using knitting for self care.

Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of Psychology
