Proud Stutter Can 'Flow' Activities Have A Positive Impact on Stuttering?
Is there an activity where you feel 'at one' or ‘in the zone’? There's a term in psychology for this state of being called 'flow'.
For this bonus episode, Maya talks to Jayne Devlin, a Community Dance Artist and Co-Artistic Director of Inner Ground Dance Company.
Her research interests include exploring how participation in arts, creativity and culture may promote an enhanced sense of wellbeing and connection for individuals.
Her works focus on the intersections between dance, health, and wellbeing, specifically relating to aging and neurodegenerative health conditions (Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias) and Stroke.
Jayne is currently in her final year of an MSc Psychology course at Plymouth University (UK).
