Psychology Training Reform Part 2: Could the changes do more harm than good?

Here's part 2! Follow along as I highlight some of the concerns of the new proposed model, how it may actually contribute to the mental health crisis, result in less diversity of psychologists not more, and how all of this could be avoided if they just raised the dang Medicare Rebate.  CONTENT WARNING: I speak briefly about suicide at about the 32.5 minute mark.

Psychology Training Reform Part 1: An Overview of the Proposed Changes

Today I explain (somewhat confusingly, sorry) the current pathways in order to become a psychologist in Australia today, and what changes the Psychology Board is proposing to that pathway. If you have any exposure or link to the psychology workforce, then this is a very important listen! And the board wants YOUR FEEDBACK on what you think about these proposed changes! See below for how to give it!

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.
