Are there any other #dclinpsy trainees out there with neurodiversity, specifically #ADHD #Autism who want to link up for peer support? It feels like quite an isolating experience at the moment…

It’s all feeling VERY real now!! It’s even more surreal to think the next ID badge we get will *hopefully* have Dr in front of our names (as long as we survive the course) 😂

Wow I am not gunna lie, I am almost at the end of week 3 of #dclinpsy induction and I am so exhausted. It has been a lot of information to process but has also been quite socially draining. I am still enjoying the course but really looking forward to a break this weekend!!

I’ve been struggling with burnout on the course lately and my friends in the cohort have really supported me through it. Today they surprised me with a care package of sweet treats and a card with my key phrase ‘vibes’ on it. Such a gorgeous and thoughtful gesture 🥰 #dclin

I’ve been really struggling a lot lately with ADHD burn out. It has been hard to move past historical statements of ‘you would do better if you just applied yourself’. It’s hard to hear positive feedback from others now because I always feel like I’m underachieving #adhd 1/2

We do not know the circumstances that may lead to someone needing A&E whilst intoxicated. A very worrying approach to healthcare, that will no doubt lead to high risk situations as people will not seek the help they need through fear of punishment.

Practicing self compassion is so hard at times of burnout but it is so important to practice what we preach. It’s important to sit back and allow ourselves to see the good we’ve done and hear the kind words of others without our inner critic shouting at us #compassion #adhd

Criminalising substance misuse is not going to fix the devastation addiction causes. Investing into communities, helping alleviate poverty and supporting those with mental health difficulties is key. TOUGHER MEASURES DO NOT REDUCE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOURS.

#Tips for #dclinpsy interviews- I personally think it’s so important to be your authentic self. Show your values throughout your answers and what you want to bring/change within clinical psychology! Be reflective, and try to remember you don’t have to be ‘perfect’
