I’m about to qualify as a clinical psychologist and I have an idea for a therapeutic solo-TTRPG. I’m really interested in chatting to anyone who designs games like Koriko who may want to team up 🤔✨

Presented my D&D research poster at the Surrey Trainee Research Conference yesterday and was voted best poster 🥰✨ if anyone is interested in a presentation for their society or community groups let me know! #dclin #psychd #dnd

Still can’t believe I passed my research viva yesterday 🥳 one step closer to qualification! #psychd #dclinpsy

Handed my research in yesterday and in true chronic illness girly fashion, I’m off sick today 😭

Getting my viva date and time has made everything very very real all of a sudden 🙃

Getting positive feedback on my first draft of my second thesis project 🥹 still so much to do for April though 🙃 the fun never ends

Managed to preorder a book twice without realising 🤦‍♀️ this isn’t even the first time I’ve managed to do this 😅

Absolutely amazing! Congratulations 🥳

You’ll get there!! Sending you all the positive energy ✨

Both project drafts are with my supervisors and the end of thesis write up might finally feel in sight 😴

Chatting to my tattooist about D&D counts towards my thesis work right? 👀

Impulsively booked a new tattoo and I’m so excited, but also feel like it’s a very expensive procrastination from writing my thesis 😅

I’m new to this, where can I access it? I’m writing up some research about psychologists perceptions of TTRPGs and I’d love to check it out as a possible reference/to include in dissemination!

Thesis supervision is always so helpful and valuable ✨ less than two months to the deadline 🙃

Got offered my first qualified job today 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you to past Zoe for not finishing severance season one so I didn’t have to live with that cliffhanger before season 2 😅

Officially entered for May Viva’s… feeling a bit sick 🙃 #dclinpsy #psychd #dndresearch

I apologise for the person I become when the Witcher IV comes out… Ciri?! 😍

Glad it’s after I qualify so I won’t feel guilty for playing it in all my spare time 😂

12.5K of words for my 10k max project 1 thesis write up 🙃 excuse me whilst I hide away to edit and write up project 2 😴

Hard to remember what an achievement it is to have this done when there’s so much left to do, but trying to celebrate the small wins ✨

I’m 🤏 close to treating myself to a huge Lego set… maybe as a viva present to myself in the spring? 😅

Just applied for my first qualified job 🙃 not planning on applying to any others now until I know if my partner gets onto the doctorate 😴

Wicked was everything teen me needed it to be and more ✨✨✨

Haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet, but Dead Hot on Prime is brilliant and worth a watch!

This image shows five candles in the colours of the transgender pride flag (blue, pink, and white) against a black background, likely representing remembrance or solidarity, particularly in the context of Transgender Day of Remembrance.

TW: death, transphobia

Thinking of all the trans people let down by mental health services this Trans Day of Remembrance.

Suicide and homicide rates are devastatingly high for #trans people, especially autistic trans folk.

Mental health services have contributed by pathologising, not affirming🏳️‍⚧️.

England’s national parks facing financial peril due to budget cuts, say CEOs Leaders warn cost savings will lead to mass redundancies and that spaces could become ‘paper parks’

All the evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Probably a good thing I’ve lost my voice ahead of seeing the wicked movie… you’re all welcome 😂

A line chart titled “Poverty rates among lone parents have increased” illustrates UK poverty rates by family type from 2002-03 to 2018-19. The red line representing lone parents shows a significant decline from about 60% in 2002-03 to just under 50% around 2015, followed by a steady increase, reaching 55% post-COVID-19 pandemic. Other family types display lower and relatively stable poverty rates: couples with children and single adults without children (both around 28% by 2018-19), pensioner couples (18%), couples without children (12%), and single pensioners (11%). The graph highlights that lone parents experience the highest and most fluctuating poverty rates. Data source: Family Resources Survey and HBAI, SMC analysis.

🚨 BREAKING: Over 1 in 3 kids in the UK are now living in poverty—the highest rate this century.

Nearly 1 in 4 people are in #poverty as deprivation soars to record levels.

Child poverty = lifelong ↑ risk of ill health, physical and mental.

We need an uplifting, fair social security system now.

Passed my Application of Systemic Theory and Practice ✨

Missing some people and many aren't on BlueSky but it's a start!

(Please let me know who I'm missing and/or if someone made a better starter pack and I should just use that one.)
