Welcome back to Mental Status!

Today is a special episode.

On today's episode, Yash will be going solo to tell everyone the true story behind why she has left the field of psychology...sort of. After some time away, she’s ready to share some of immensely challenging experiences she faced on the final stretch of her Masters journey and before starting her career. Join Yash as she reflects on the strange path this has led her on, including her insights on the sometimes brutal reality of becoming a Psychologist.

Yash’s story is an important one and one you won’t want to miss.

Today's episode is a fun one as we unpack everything students hear when they tell people they study psychology. If you study psychology, you have more than likely heard many, (and potentially all) of these things, including the famed:

"ArE yOu PsYcHoAnaLYsInG mE?"

Some may make you laugh, while others may make you groan. Regardless, enjoy as we share our honest reactions and reflections hearing these lines. You may even get some ideas for how you can respond!

Today, we're diving into the unique journey of studying and practicing psychology with ADHD. Drawing from lived experience, Josh opens up about some of the challenges he's faced and others may face in managing ADHD through the journey of becoming a Psychologist. He shares what his challenges have looked like, and the strategies he has employed - in both academia and professional practice.

From the rigors of studying psychology, to navigating the complexities of working in the field, Josh sheds light on the multifaceted nature of this process. We discuss the hurdles he's encountered in maintaining focus, managing time and meeting deadlines to achieve goals.

But it's not all about the challenges. Josh also shares the personal insights he's gained and the coping strategies he has drawn upon, hoping it may help current psychology students and professionals navigate similar paths.

Whether you're studying with ADHD or want to understand how it could later impact a psychology career, this episode should be worth a listen!

In this episode, we continue our Masters Diaries series, where we delve into the journeys of master's students and graduates. Today we have the privilege of sitting down with another Master of Clinical Psychology student to uncover the grades and experiences that secured their place in this sought-after program, as well as the insights they have gained as a result of their studies.

We will unravel Claire's honest experiences and journeys from her initial aspirations way back in high school, to the pivotal moments that shaped her academic trajectory, right through to the rigorous application process and experience of balancing life and masters.

Listen as we re-live and reflect on the challenges faced, the major moments, and the invaluable lessons learned throughout this journey. Whether you're considering a similar path or simply intrigued by the inner workings of a master's program in clinical psychology - this episode should be a fun listen!

Episode one of 2024! We're kicking off the new season by sharing our tips for how you can best survive and (hopefully) thrive during your university studies.

Prior to this episode, we sat down with recent psychology graduates and current Psychologists to gather their advice on navigating the academic journey. We've compiled this advice into ten tips, across three phases of the university experience.
Drawing from these candid conversations, we compiled ten key tips tailored to each stage of your university experience, to help give you a foundation for success at uni regardless of what stage of the journey you're at!

Whether you're just starting or nearing the finish line, this episode will hopefully shed some wisdom on how to get the most out of every phase of your academic pursuit.

Welcome back to Mental Status!

As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the highs, lows, and major moments from our final year in our respective Psychology Masters programs.

In this year-end review, we look back on the accomplishments that defined our academic journey – from the tens of thousands of words, or hours of role-plays – as well as our personal highlights and lowlights from throughout the year. We additionally take a moment to look at the year to come and what will no doubt be a huge year for the podcast!

This episode wraps up our 2023, and wraps up the very first season of Mental Status. If you are reading this - a huge thank you for your support! We will be back in 2024 and we are immensely excited about what lies ahead. Make sure you are subscribed or following the podcast's Instagram to stay up-to-date with the return of Mental Status in 2024!
