❌Therapist: “This is a safe space” ✅ Therapist: “We just met. Of course you’re concerned about whether to trust me w something so personal” ✅ Therapist: “Help me understand what might make you feel more comfortable or less comfortable talking to me” Bullshit vs authenticity
I was gonna make an April Fools joke about psychiatry finally finding biomarkers for the 541 mental disorders they’ve invented to medicate, sedate and imprison people, but it’s just too far-fetched.
saw this quote and thought about how a safe therapeutic space can break down the burden of shame. as a trainee, I've also noticed that a safe supervision space frees me from the shame I might experience from the mistakes I've made or things I've forgotten.
JOB OPPORTUNITY - LSW There is another position open in the Pitt Parents & Children Lab @PittTweet as an interventionist! Candidate will employ the Family Check-Up for expectant parents and parents of children ages birth to 5 years old. Please share! cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/…
"When humans are suffering under unliveable conditions, we’re told something is wrong with us, and expected to keep pushing through... the most effective therapy would be transforming the oppressive aspects of society causing our pain" - Sanah Ahsan 👇🏼 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I submitted my master's dissertation today. And I am humbled. And grateful. And excited for what lies ahead ✨ #firstgen
“People stay poor because they lack opportunity. It is not their intrinsic characteristics that trap people in poverty but rather their circumstances.” A large-scale study in Bangladesh shows passing a threshold of assets allows families to escape poverty. nber.org/papers/w29340
Where does the current definition of trauma fall short? @sandrogalea and I share examples related to racism, poverty, and the climate crisis. Now out in @TheLancetPsych. @BUSPH @BUexperts thelancet.com/journals/lanps…
I drew this when thinking about how I want to embody social justice work in my capacity as a trainee clin psych. working therapeutically on placement is great, but I'm always holding in mind the wider context and what I can do to facilitate systems and policy change.
Hello Twitter! Please help me amplify this post. I am recruiting any and all parents/primary caregivers of children 18 and under as participants for my dissertation. @EdinUniCADP @EdinUniHealth @PsychinOut #parents #parenting #psychology edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6D… Thank you!
first tweet with an illustration i did for my instagram! feel like this is very simplified and i could add a lot more to this, but hope to update at a later date
Leaders who fail to listen ultimately find themselves surrounded by silence. You don't get chosen to take charge unless you give good answers. You won't be able to make change unless you ask good questions. Learning depends on making it safe for people to tell you the truth.
Aspiring international #psychology #phd’s: You are not overlooked. You are not insignificant. You are not alone. The field & our global communities NEED you. 📍DM us on how we can better serve you.
We shouldn't wait until undergrad to teach research methodology. Everyone should have a basic understanding of the importance of control groups, how data is collected, what a credible source is, and what it takes to critically evaluate scientific and non-scientific pubs.
