2025/01/20

Normally as an aspiring clinical psychologist, I don't really focus too much on how our biological processes and the nervous system impacts our mental health. I should focus on this area a lot more than I do because our physical reactions to trauma, anxiety and depression are very important. Instead I tend to focus on the psychological processes that interact with our physical processes to produce behaviours. Yet as I deal with my sexual trauma more and more, I'verealised I can no longer

2025/01/06

Dyspraxia is the last diagnosis that I received recently and it explains so much about my life, my “clumsiness” and a wide range of struggles in my life. Struggles that I was bullied for, judged and mocked for as a child and teenager. Yet even though I’ve done a little research into the condition before I got diagnosed, I don’t understand Dyspraxia at a deep level. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast, you’ll learn what is Dyspraxia, what are the symptoms and causes of Dyspraxia and how is

2024/12/23

On the 3rd December 2024, I had a two-hour-long Specific Learning Difficulties online assessment, so I could get a diagnosis of dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia or dysgraphia. I was assessed for all of them because I went through my university to get a dyslexia diagnosis and instead I had a Specific Learning Difficulties assessment that allowed me to be assessed for all of them. After the assessment (which was actually funny in its own right because I was able to be diagnosed quicker than she

Whilst I have to admit releasing a forensic psychology book about terrorism might seem weird in December but I haven’t thought about it. Yet whenever we see news about a terrorist attack, we always wonder why something would commit such a horrible attack but we wonder what makes a terrorist as well. Is a mental health condition? Is it biological in nature? Are there social or cultural factors at play? And does society make someone a terrorist or not? We need to know the answer. Therefore, in this

As we reach episode 300 of The Psychology World Podcast, I cannot deny I am so excited to reach this brilliant milestone because we reached episode 200 around April 2023, and typically most podcasts fail before episode 30. That means we have reached ten times the number of episodes before podcasts typically end and that is brilliant. I am still excited for the podcast’s future, I have a lot of ideas for future episodes and I flat out love the learning opportunities that this podcast provides me

2024/12/02

In biological psychology, there is one of my favourite topics in psychology. It might not be related to clinical psychology, mental health or even forensic psychology, but I love it anyway. Psychophysics is a fascinating area of psychology that has always grabbed my attention and made me want to understand more about how a physical stimulus leads to a psychological experience. For example, how does physical stimuli of chocolate create a chocolate taste in our minds, and how does chocolate create the

As an aspiring clinical psychologist that is hardcore intothe idea that it is critical to our clinical work that we learn different techniques from different therapies, I want to focus on different therapeutic techniques. I think this is critical because in order to help our clients to the best of our abilities, we need to give ourselves as many tools as possible so we can share them with our clients.

2024/11/11

Throughout my clinical psychology education, there have been multiple times when a lecturer, an academic resource or a paper has mentioned that clinical cutoffs aren’t the best and they are problematic. Yet they have never gone into any great detail about the advantages and disadvantages of clinical cutoffs and why they are not good for our clients. I wanted to change this, not only for my own education but so I can educate others have the pros and cons of the cutoffs. Therefore, in this clinical

When it comes to clinical psychology, it is a very white, female, middle-class professional and I’ve spoken and written about the various reasons why this is the case and why this needs to change urgently. Diversity will always be critical within clinical psychology and related mental health professions, but a major reason why clinical psychology isn’t that diverse is because of barriers to the profession. For different groups of people, even including white men, there are different barriers that

Something I flat out love about talking with fellow psychology students is that you get talking about different mental health conditions. For example, I was talking with a new friend the other week about how they next sad and depressed at this time of year. So I started wondering if they had Seasonal Affective Disorder, and when I asked them a few nights ago about it, they weren't sure but it was possible.

Whenever a crime happens, a victim has to gather up the courage to go to a police station or dial 999 or 911 and they have to report the crime by making an allegation that a crime has occurred in the first place. Sometimes these allegations are true, other times they are not. When these allegations are not true then this can be deemed as a false allegations, even if the crime did actually happen.

However, whilst a lot of people have heard about the corrupting influence of power, a lot of people don’t know how or why power corrupts people.
