A few days before #ISTSS, I wanted to share our critical review and position paper on the need to expand criterion A in PTSD to be more culturally valid: https://t.co/iqPUiz9aL9
It is arguably one of the reasons I came into the psych field in the first place.

Sticking with a bad decision is not a triumph of commitment. It's a failure of courage.

The quicker you are to admit you were wrong, the sooner you can start making it right.

Persistence is not about staying on a path. It's about finding a better path to your goal.

I decided to go makeup-free for my recent @aerie photoshoot. Many of us have grown up seeing filtered ads & retouched photos, which in my opinion, can create unhealthy pressures & can negatively impact our self- worth & mental health. I hope we can change these unrealistic expectations of ourselves & each other. I want to normalize makeup-free or however you feel confident. I want this to be one of many makeup-free photo shoots for me. Let’s normalize no makeup together! Sending you lots of 💚 & reminder that the REAL you is unique & what the world needs more of.  #AerieREAL #AeriePartner

I never thought I would change my name when I got married— I was the first (medical) Dr. Newton in my family and I’m very proud of that. But, when presented with the opportunity to say “Hi, I’m Dr. Sleeper and I’ll be your anesthesiologist,” I just couldn’t pass it up!

[Oscar Widales-Benitez, PhD, NCSP @OscarWB5]

@ThatDocStudent Yes there are! It’s an area of specialization among pediatric psychologists often called NICU or maternal mental health.
