I stepped out of the Mental Work pod-cave to be a guest on the Therapists Rising podcast! Dr Hayley Kelly and I talked about the Future of Psychology (no biggie) and covered some topics that are very close to my fiery heart including:
- The need for a more diverse psych workforce in terms of race, gender, socioeconomic background, and neurodiversity;
- The ethics (or lack thereof) of provisional psychologists being used as free labour, and the need to make it more financially viable for workplaces to host students;
- The need for outdated professional beliefs and norms to be challenged within the field of psychology;
- The lack of collegiality and support in the field, and the need for community that many psychs are craving and desperately needing.
