James McIntosh is a self-confessed fidgeter. As someone who struggles to enjoy the present moment, on 5th March 2023 at King’s College London, James spoke about Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Living in the present moment using traditional mindfulness-based interventions is impossible for someone with a brain that constantly runs at above 50MHz. A world award-winning food writer, TV presenter in China and Global Ambassador for AGA cookers, James was living his dream. That was until 2015, when he was confined to bed with what was diagnosed as a ‘moderately severe depressive episode’. A lost career, a failed company, panic attacks, low self-worth and esteem. Add into the mix the death of parents and suffering from homophobic and narcissistic abuse. Was the answer to simply rebuild his life, one stitch at a time? Enter the ancient craft of hand knitting. In his talk, James calls for the need for published academic research into hand knitting (which uses randomised controlled trials). His hypothesis: a mindful approach to hand knitting has similar benefits compared with the well established evidence base of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. This will serve as a growing evidence base for interventions available for the concept of social prescribing. James McIntosh is a self-confessed fidgeter.
