I have been creating mental health courses since September 2016.

My intention is to pass on the learnings that I have accumulated through 35 years as a medical doctor, 21 years as a psychotherapist, a best-selling mental health author, and 25 years as an advocate for mental health reform.

I have just (mid-November 2024) published a new online course, entitled “Understanding and Addressing Rumination“. This course is for both members of the public and mental health professionals.

Here are five testimonials that I received within a week of launching the course. Three of these are from therapists:

1. “Hi Terry, the course is very interesting and useful. I love the way you give a succinct description of what rumination is followed by strategies that can be introduced in everyday life. I have shared them with my family, one of whom commented on how they appreciated your proactive approach to giving strategies that can be used in a step by step approach. We are lucky to be able to benefit from your vast experience and learning as well as your kindness towards all. I look forward to continuing to learn from you. Warm wishes to you, Andrea.”
2.  “Dear Dr Lynch, I LOVE your course. I am so delighted to see that you continue your work, continuing to push against myths and to elevate helpful information. Thank you for your commitment to mental health and to the individuals who struggle. You are making a true difference. I am even getting up from my computer to practice being present…..It’s so helpful. The course was clear, focused and practical. You are an excellent teacher. All my best, Rachel.”                                                                                                                                               
3. “Dear Terry, thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences and insightfulness in developing this course on rumination. I especially liked the mindfulness application to interrupt the rumination process which is efficient and effective. I look forward to receiving more insights on mental health care in the future”
4. “Hi Terry, I enjoyed this course. It is really helpful to be able to go through the course again, a second time as there is so much information to reflect on. I found it really helpful for me personally and hopefully others that I work with. I noticed a lot of Choice Theory throughout. Dr.Glasser’s conflicting pictures in Quality World. Great to have mindfulness integrated into this course. I have passed the course information on also. I will definitely be mentioning your courses to my group. Really looking forward to your next course. Warmest Regards, Paulette.
5.  “The course was excellent.  Succinct  and  applicable. Margaret.”

A Certificate of Completion will be provided upon completion of the course, which is the equivalent of 2 CPD points.

Most prominent among these experiences and behaviours is the development of the conviction that part or parts of one’s body is/are seriously deformed, ugly, hideous.
