Greetings everyone!
A colleague and I are exploring developing a webcast/podcast by and for psychologists (and students/interns). Basically, we enjoyed our "social distancing" video chats about managing life/work and thought... hey, wonder who else is trying to stay afloat as the world turns upside down.
Spurred by the quick upheaval of life as we know it due to COVID-19 along with the national/global response to police brutality, we want to connect with fellow psychologists and provide a space to discuss how is it for psychologists to manage so many stressors happening ON TOP OF the regular stressors that we experience in clinical practice.
I saw previous threads regarding COVID-19 discussed pragmatic changes to clinical practice; but I'm curious... HOW ARE YOU DOING?! How are you staying sane in these insane times? More than just self-care- hearing from folks about the reality of what it's like for us to work through a pandemic. So many patients [and friends, family, colleagues] look to us as models for self-regulation and some of us have been blessed with Impostor Syndrome and so well... we want to normalize that we don't always have it all together, all the time *nervous laugh.*
We want to expand topics outside of COVID-19 eventually and cover various work-related topics (e.g., clinical practice, providing supervision, navigating as early-career psychologists, etc). And if it's okay to post a link to the webcast page (currently a FB group page) then I will in a later post; didn't want to solicit/spam the forum. [PS... we're such noobs at this so please don't think this webcast is anything but amateur. Took us an hour to realize we could record our zoom video chats *face palm*]
