Psychology

Are you constantly worried about what will people think of you? Are you a people pleaser? Do you pretend that everything is alright with you even though it isn’t? Do you try hard to “keep it together” and “fit in”? You are not alone.

In this class we will discover why we do all these things, where the motivation comes from and the destructive consequences of these behaviours.

If you’re anything like most Melburnians, chances are you spend a lot more time inside — tapping away at a computer and hunched over your phone — than you do basking in the great outdoors. But if you want to de-stress, consider letting nature help you.
