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.

I just posted my review of Lily Bailey’s memoir ‘Because We Are Bad: OCD and a Girl Lost in Thought’ over on my Instagram. Link below:

I usually have one fiction and one non-fiction book on the go at once. Here’s what I’m currently reading:

The Myth of the Untroubled Therapist - Marie Adams

The Inmate - Freida McFadden

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.
