When you're hurting and feel like quitting psychology

Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode: 34: When you’re hurting and feel like quitting psychology Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast. In my endeavours to support aspiring psychologists, I have been approached by a few who have told me about difficult experiences in their roles that have left them feeling that this field is not for them. Today I speak to you about how we can manage the knocks and bumps that we experience along the way in psychology and how we can get support when we need it. I hope this helps you, and thank you for being a part of my world.
