Diagnostic Diaries: Learning about Gesssschalting

The fourth episode of Diagnostic Diaries is all about Gestalt Language Processing, what it means to me, and how I've discovered its applicability to myself, my family and close friends.  It's maybe not the greatest description of what GLP actually is in terms of language development, so please refer to this information for better details! https://www.kelly-mahler.com/what-is-interoception/interoception-and-gestalt-language-processing/ [https://www.kelly-mahler.com/what-is-interoception/interoception-and-gestalt-language-processing/]    TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ovLTU-KKzjZ3eTYLcZM5KLZB_k2plqUkwWyyQ5_V58/edit?usp=sharing]   ---------- Created by Stephanie Fornasier Music by Stephen Jackson Follow me at @PsychocinematicPodcast [https://www.instagram.com/psychocinematicpodcast/] on Insta, @Psychocinematic on Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@psychocinematic] and Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@psychocinematic]!

We have a whiteness problem in the ND allied health community

TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NVmhSiF4vzMfHPe6C1VZqmSAD611-buUcaroH8_kw7U/edit?usp=sharing]   This episode is an open letter to the white neurodivergent community, especially those who are advocates, mental health and allied health professionals, and particularly psychologists.  It describes the problem we have around whiteness, and anti black/blakness, and how we must, MUST, do better.  I myself am a white neurodivergent psychologist, and am not the voice that needs to be centered in this conversation, but am hoping to use my platform as an ally.

Diagnostic Diaries: Learning About The Mask

It's our third Diagnostic Diaries episode, and at this point I'm deep in the ADHD & Autism assessment process and learning some major things about masking, how often I wear a mask, and how hard it is to take it off. Featured also is the Yellow Ladybugs conference, where I learnt just how hard it is to unmask even in the most affirming and accepting contexts.  TRANSCRIPT HERE [https://docs.google.com/document/d/15z16duUdEoTw6rVpIQTL_Vhu2nYcsdAqvcQzcme1xLo/edit?usp=sharing] Yellow Ladybugs Conference is coming up this year!

Why are Psychologists who work with ADHD mad at Osher Gunsberg?

Today’s podcast ep is about correcting misinformation, managing mass panic and calling influential celebrities to account. A few weeks ago Osher Gunsberg invited a neuroscientist onto his podcast Better Than Yesterday, and some very problematic and non-evidence based things were said about ADHD and digital use. Find out what happened and what science actually tells us. Also follow Amanda Moses Psychology [https://www.instagram.com/amandamosespsychology] for her own take on the clickbait clip that was shared.   TRANSCRIPT HERE
