Hello Bluesky friends! I took a break from social media over the festive season but I’m pleased to be back 😊 Here’s my current fiction read. I’m really enjoying it so far which is no surprise to me since I adored Song of Achilles by the same author

I finished this poetry collection by Louise Campbell today. Incredibly powerful and moving poems of Louise’s lived experience of being both a Mental Health Nurse and an inpatient in a psychiatric hospital.
I’ll post a review on my Instagram (The Psych Library) soon.

Lifelong learning is one of my favourite things about a career in Clinical Psychology. It’s a reality that’s often exciting, sometimes overwhelming but always rewarding in the end

I much prefer physical books and I love that it’s a screen-free activity for me. With memoirs though, I often opt for audiobooks as I find it so powerful to hear the authors tell their own story
Does anyone else still prefer reading physical books over e-books???

Anybody read any of these?

Today was the final day to submit #dclinpsy applications. Thinking of everyone who applied this year as I know all too well how consuming and brutally relentless application cycles can be!
Wishing you all the best of luck and I’ll leave you with a poem that I hope offers some words of comfort 🪷

A peek at my recent psychology reads:
Because we are bad - Lily Bailey. A first-hand account of what it is like to live with OCD.
Transgender identities - Alessandra Lemma. A psychoanalytic perspective on the key things to consider when working therapeutically with those identifying as Trans.
