I am THRILLED to share that this research carried out as part of my masters has been published! If you are interested in what experts think about reintegration as a component of treatment for CPTSD, give it a read.

[Prof Jo Billings @ProfJoBillings]

Phased-based approaches are often advocated for CPTSD...but what exactly are you supposed to do in phase 3 Reintegration?! In this new paper we explored expert international trauma clinicians' views about the principles and practice of reintegration👇

It’s made me reflect on how I view myself as a friend and what I truly value in relationships?? Didn’t expect to be psychoanalyzing myself so early on on the course

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

Started the dclin 2 months ago and, unexpectedly, the most challenging aspect so far has been the social side of the course. And as a social person, I didn’t think this would be an issue. However, the need to “fit in” and build friendships has been surprisingly draining.

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

I wish my clients knew how their “little wins” fill me with happiness. It’s often actually a huge win in terms of the therapeutic process.

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

Working with CYP has been incredibly inspiring. I could only wish for myself to have been as reflective, as emotionally intelligent and responsive as some of the clients I’ve been seeing. So grateful for the insights they’ve shared and the lessons learned together in sessions.

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

@theuniqueafghan Thanks for letting me know! I’ll try change that now!

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

My new service is incredibly supportive about the dclin application. All the supervisors have reached out to support me, peers have shared their previous experiences of applying. I could only wish that all applicants had this support. Please reach out to me if you have any-

@ChristinaTof I really like ‘Feel Better, Live More’ by Dr Chatterjee. And a good psychology-based one is ‘What about us? Cultural awareness in clinical psychology’.

[Sonia Johnson @soniajohnson]

What's the evidence and where are the evidence gaps on the relationship between loneliness and social isolation and mental health? Have a look at our newly published @UCL_loneliness umbrella review addressing this question

@MariaChiElaichi Thank you!! Hope you are doing well 😊

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

I started working as an assistant psychologist the other week and let me tell you, having been a PWP, the learning curve is still huge, as I don’t know the first thing about family therapy, for example, or auditing. But this is the best job I’ve had so far! So happy!

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

@louise_isham @DrJoBillings @ucl Absolutely great news! Congratulations @DrJoBillings!!

[Heidi @heidipsychology]

Is it trauma informed care or retraumatising care? ✍️🏽

@heidipsychology I understand this in so many ways. So helpful to see your really positive grateful perspective. Thank you for sharing

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

@psychmegg Congratulations!!

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

Every single episode this season has been incredible. If you haven’t seen it, go watch Ted Lasso.

[Luke. @ImARangler]

No dialogue and this moment right here had me tearing the hell up. The way that Ted Lasso manages to execute moments like this are always so breathtaking to witness.

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

I’m also looking for a London based mentor if anyone is available, just for a few pointers. :)

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

Looking to talk to someone working as a research assistant in the psychology field, as wanting to apply for a research position soon but have 0 experience and understanding of this. Please help 🙏

[Dr Lauren M Hickling 💙 @LmhicklingPsych]

#PsychTwitter #AssistantPsychologist plea. When I qualify, I will be supervising an AP. How much supervision do you have? What experiences/supervision do you find helpful/unhelpful? I came from a research background so great to get input. Thanks in advance, feel free to share🙏

[Maria Condon @Maria_Yelena_]

@xfxfqx It’s such a brutal, challenging process. Make sure you take care of yourself.
