Sometimes, being a supervisor can be a challenging and thankless job and I constantly wonder how I can be doing more for my trainees. But, moments like these make everything worth it 😭 Excuse me while I go wipe my eyes.

Me in any meeting when the topic of #research or #QI comes up.

We recently got sound machines for all of our personal offices. Had a momentary lapse of memory and forgot I plugged mine in. Couldn’t figure out where the sound of birds chirping was coming from 😂

[Jeannette Iskander, PhD @iskanderjm]

Very accurate!

Me as therapist: remembers your 3rd cousin’s name mentioned once, every intricate detail of your family dynamic, & exactly what you said to me on our initial phone call 4 years ago.

Me watching tv show: Wait, who is that again? Why are they mad at her? What’s going on? 🤦‍♀️

[Jeannette Iskander, PhD @iskanderjm]

In 2020, I completed my #pediatricpsychology #internship.

Today, just a few years later, I’m thrilled to be (virtually) attending this conference as we work to build a #psychology #internship.

Simply an #AppreciationPost for my favorite humans who always know how to make challenging days a little bit easier and can always bring a smile to my face 😊

[Jeannette Iskander, PhD @iskanderjm]

1. Out of curiosity regarding why we do what we do and to help kids/families in times of need.

2. Forming connections w/ kids/families & seeing their progress. Plus - I love working on multidisciplinary teams! + mentoring future psychologists! #PsychologyWeek

[American Psychological Association @APA]

Two questions for all of the psychologists out there...

1. Why did you become a psychologist?
2. What is the best part about your job?

#PsychologyWeek

[Jeannette Iskander, PhD @iskanderjm]

During #PsychologyWeek I’m reflecting on one of the best pieces of advice I’ve received from a mentor: Write first, edit later.

Solid advice that applies to both academic & personal writing. You can’t edit something if there’s nothing to edit.
