Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode: Trauma, EMDR and non-executive roles in Psychology with Dr Rachel Lee

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

Sometimes you will start a degree and just get the sense that it’s not for you. So what can you do and how can you change courses? In today’s episode we explore this. We also chat about trauma and how EMDR can help to treat it. It can be hard to understand how leadership roles work in mental health so we go over this too. I am joined by Dr Rachel Lee, Clinical Psychologist and Associate Non-Executive director and we discuss all of this and more!

We hope you find it so useful.

I’d of course love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to know what your offers are and to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
