60-Second Therapy

Like Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? made even more accessible, this is an emotional first-aid kit for the stress and overwhelm of modern life from viral mental health educator, The Pocket Psychologist.

Psychologist Millie Hardie hears the same story again and again in her clinic: people are overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to navigate stress, self-doubt, and burnout with very little sense of how the brain processes thought and emotion in the first place.

Drawing on Millie's wildly popular sixty-second psychology videos, this warm, compassionate, and practical book acts as an emotional first-aid kit for modern life. Once we understand how our brains operate, we can work with them rather than against them. Your brain is not broken. It is simply wired for survival, not happiness, and small, realistic shifts in how we regulate and respond can change everything.

Using everyday objects like teapots, hula hoops, balloons, and buckets, Millie translates evidence-based psychology into simple, visual tools. Grounded in CBT, ACT, DBT, and contemporary trauma-informed practice, and delivered with zero jargon or judgement, 60-Second Therapy is packed with accessible, bite-sized insights designed to make your brain a calmer, kinder place to live.
