Izzy Woolrych 💙

It doesn't feel real yet, but I've received an offer from @LancsDClinPsy... I'm going to be a Clinical Psychologist!! 🥳🤩 This is an absolute dream come true and I'm so excited ❤️ Thank you to everyone who believed in me and supported me on my journey to get here!! #dclinpsy

Some of the most senior figures in eating disorders seem to think that creating diagnostic categories and funny acronyms is a game. My paper touches on this, including the "joke" that the adolescent version of MARSIPAN might be called "MARSIPANINI"... rdcu.be/eEkeJ

Anybody can change from being fit and healthy to sick and bedbound. Anybody can develop chronic health conditions or become disabled or terminally ill. Anybody can change from being employed to unemployed and unable to work. These things can happen to anybody. Anybody.

@aramtiaz Really tough decision but health takes priority!! I hope you are able to have a restful break 💙

It’s been incredibly hard to arrive to this decision but I’m taking a leave of absence from the DClinPsy to focus on my health. Hopefully this will give me to time to recharge and recover from burnout. ❤️

Please feel free to drop you 🦋 handle and I will give you a follow... trying to find people is long! I know it will take a while regardless x

How do you fill your cup? #POTS #dysautonomia #motivationalmonday

New rule to help recognise burnout: Stop saying & accepting “I am fine” articulate it another way (it’s ok to say “I am not fine but I don’t want to talk about it) #burnout

@CPwithBlackDog I agree that's definitely a red flag!! They should value you and your time... CPD & training is part of that, not separate!

@libby4000 Happy to chat with you ☺️

Basically I want to know if I’ve had enough experience to apply for the clinical doctorate this year… can anyone who is a trainee or has completed it please help??

@libby4000 @jessthegriff @krichar25 I've tried to DM you, but I've not been able to! Do you want to try and message me?

@izzy_woolrych @jessthegriff @krichar25 I would be interested as someone with lived experience

Looking for experts by experience to consult on materials (interview themes/questions) for my #DClinPsy #thesis. It will be a qualitative study (similar to this study that @krichar25 and I conducted) looking at prioritisation of waiting lists in eating disorder services.

@charlottschreu Thank you so much Charlotte! I'll DM you 😊
