Deductive reasoning test done…is it Friday yet?😅

After 4 rejections last year I’ve received 2 this year, feeling frustrated and irritated more than anything, like I’m in one of those dreams where you’re trying to run but you can’t lmao after no eurovision tickets yesterday excuse me while I sulk a little 😉

#dclinpsy season and I've seen a lot of these posts that have a 'humbly bragging' tone. This is when applicants share a lot of details that alludes to how 'simple' or 'straightforward' the process of the Dclinpsy has been for them.

3/4 rejection again - has anyone actually ever got on without having an ap role? My statement has been looked over by super helpful trainees and I think it stands really well so I’m guessing it’s my experience that I’m being rejected on 🤷‍♀️

Onto Newcastles reserves list again! I’m pretty high up though haha so not sure i have much of a chance but hey. See you next year dclin Apply-ers

Trying to remember this when those pesky “I’ll never get onto the doctorate” thoughts plague me, I thought I’d never pass my driving test and I did

It can be a really difficult time reading all the #dclinpsy outcomes on Twitter. #psychology #mentalhealth

This is heartbreaking

Feeling incredibly frustrated at the moment as the amount of brain power required to revisit my doctorate application I just don’t have at all and I don’t know if I am going to be able to give it the amount of myself it needs this year as I’m just so burnt out 🫠

Write ur doctorate application without crying challenge

Today I am back in work after 5 months of sick leave and a month long inpatient admission. I'm nervous but I know that I want to complete my training and I want to complete my research. After that I'll find my own way. Also please participate in my study! redcap.link/md3tl6ix

Every year I apply for the doctorate i feel the £40 fee smack me in the face and the immediate barrier to the profession that goes against all the preachings of diversity that’s on every course homepage

I’ve talked about how much I hate “manifestation” and how easily it can slip into victim blaming and “why didn’t you just manifest things to be better for yourself?” but also this lmao I think it can so harmful

Has anyone got any tips about the interactive deductive reasoning test? I’ve done a lot of practice questions/ tests so much so that I think I’ve seen all the questions so now I know most of the answers by heart so it’s no longer a test and I don’t feel I’m getting any better

Erm

So I have my very first ever doctorate interview for Teeside 😭😭😭😭😭

I’m a trainee clin psychologist. I also take an antidepressant & antipsychotic daily for my mental health. If anything, my experiences & unique perspective mean I thrive in the field & am just as capable as anyone else. Mental health clinicians get sick too. We’re still human.

Trying desperately to quell my nerves ahead of my first and only interview tomorrow 🥲 doesn’t help that I have to be up at 5:30 to get there on time mind you ☹️
