We are in Perth for our Annual Scientific Meeting. Kicking off the day with a postgraduate showcase! Excited to hear about all of our inspiring trainees and postgraduates across Scotland. #bps #healthpsychology #traineehealthpsychologist

Week 3 into my masters in Health Psychology, and it has been overwhelming so far 🫣 I’m in the process of securing a placement with @TownBreak, having talks with possible supervisors about dissertation ideas… Crazy times! Luckily knitting keeps me calm and going 🧶

I start my masters in less than a month, crazy! 🫣 Last day of being a full-time care assistant then to Finland tomorrow for a wee holiday. Looking forward to studying again and working part-time on the side

Honestly, I think we are having such a lovely winter this summer.

Barbie on mielestäni yhteiskunnallisesti kantaaottavin Hollywood-leffa sitten Jokerin (2019): keskeisin opetus on, että mikään yhteiskunta ei toimi yhteisön kokonaisedun parhaaksi, jos sitä vallitaan jollakin ylivaltaan tähtäävällä ismillä. Tasa-arvo sen sijaan on arvo, ei ismi.

Super happy to have received and accepted an unconditional offer to study Health Psychology at Masters level 😊 My journey here at Stirling thus continues!

So this happened 🤭 proud to say the least!

Tää oli tosi mielenkiintoinen keskustelu, @juliasangervo n pohdinnat ja @SinnuSofia n kyky toimia podcast hostina toimii 👌 jäin podcastin seuraajaksi open.spotify.com/episode/7sos3p…

@katie_heslop @Gozde786 @DurandHannah @vivien_swanson @drlmcgregor Congratulations Dr Heslop! 😊

Can’t quite believe that I passed my ProfDoc Health Psychology viva 🥂🥹 Huge thank you to my examiners @Gozde786 and Gaby Vjot and to @DurandHannah for chairing. Particular thanks to @vivien_swanson & @drlmcgregor for their amazing support throughout my time on the ProfDoc 🫶🏻

@sbkaufman I love this. I think how grown up someone is is simply a measure of their ability to regulate their emotions in response to environmental stimuli. I think a big part of the problem is our lack of ritualistic transition in turning adolescents into adults

@sbkaufman It’s actually impossible to imagine a good life consisting *entirely* of comfort. The fact that so much of modern morality pivots on this notion of comfort is mind-boggling.

We're teaching children that if you don't like how someone else makes you feel, that other person is bad. No questions asked. Or if someone says something you dislike, you should stomp on them. Quickly and immediately. This is such rubbish. Instead, we ought to teach children to be responsible for their own emotional reactions and to regulate themselves so they can be productive members of society-- productively disagreeing, productively fighting injustices, and productively listening to a diversity of perspectives in the service of getting closer to the truth, not avoiding all discomfort like the plague.

The newest improvements of Stirling Uni campus are looking gooood. Fingers crossed I’ll be here next Autumn doing a postgrad ☺️

Love the blooms when out and about!

Word of the morning is ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th century Scots): finding yourself still in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Thank you for your talk, Gözde! We loved having you! ☺️
