@lydiaeveb @psycholodani 3rd year hear, with a thesis nearly done, and I still don't have a clue 🧘🤷🏼

@psycholodani I think the phrase would be ‘so when will I know what the hell I’m supposed to be doing?’ (1st year)

#DClinPsy trainees: what would be one word or phrase to sum up your experience of the doctorate so far? I'm a 1st year, and mine would be 'inspiring and scary' 😅

@DoctorYemula Aa a Trainee Clinical Psychologist, I had to do my first neuropsychological assessment with a retired Psychiatrist. I suck at neuro, so felt terrible, BUT survived!! 😁

Does anyone else get nervous when examining a Doctor who is a patient? Feel like I’m back at medical school sitting an OSCE…

@TanyaBeetham @routledgebooks @Routledgepsych That's amazing, congratulations!!

What a perfect Sunday; long dog walk, independent market and roast dinner 😋 Needed before a whole week of #dclinpsy thesis work...

@danielle_m901 Can confirm, absolutely normal. Felt a bit better in Year 2, but now existential crisis is settling in again 😁

#dclin I don't mean to be dramatic, but is it normal to be in 1st year and feel like you've aged 100 years and be experiencing tiredness that no human has ever possibly experienced ever? Asking for a friend 🥲

For anyone is 'underwhelmed' by the @JohnLewisRetail ad as I've read on a LinkedIn post...

Becoming a therapist is complex and exhausting because now you are the tool of your work. Unlike a saw to a carpenter, you can't set aside your self once the work is done. And if you are not taking care of your self, it will show. It's easy, then, for the work to follow you.

High inflation, high interest rates, recession, tax rises, public spending cuts wasn’t on the Brexit vote leave bus was it?

@mazfpsych Once a client asked me, I've answered where I was born, and she said 'never be ashamed of where you came from...' Interesting, as all I did was stating the name of the country, not my feelings about it 🤦🏼‍♀️

@mazfpsych Depends on the context, but I must admit as a Easter European living in the South West I feel slightly attacked every time I hear this question, and I really have to work on not being defensive!

You know times are tough when you view writing the 'professional issues essay' as a lovely break from your literature review and empirical paper... #DClinPsy #research

@jason712 In my 3rd year now, and the teaching blocks are draining. For me attending placements helped massively. Although, the lack of motivation and existential dread is real... Some days are defo better than others.

Study Week...Random Distractions 2, Actual Study O. I don't even own a cat.....

Rishi Sunak is becoming Prime Minister. His family is loaded so caviar and lobster on the menu for me from tomorrow.

Any tips for staying motivated with research write up? I enjoy my topic so much, but currently would prefer to spend the day staring out of the window.... 😩😩

Flights to Bali for September 2023 booked! This is probably the only thing that will help me get through the last few months of Doctorate... #DClinPsy

@tomadamg In my 3rd year now, and feeling like I'm years behind! Felt much 'smarter' as an AP 😁

4 weeks into the dclinpsy and I already feel like I’m 4 months behind

Because she was Prime Minister for 6 weeks, Liz Truss will be able to claim a £115,000 annual allowance for the rest of her life. Meanwhile, 1 in 7 people in the UK are skipping meals to pay their bills.

@anathetrainee Year 3: 🥲😳🙃

Trainees: what 3 emjois would you use to describe how you're feeling at the moment? (maybe say what year you're in for context)

@OveryGibson I dropped out of school in year 11, took a break, qualifying as a Dr in Clinical Psychology next year (before my 30th birthday too!) :) it's best if she follows her own path!
