reflective practice when you're emotionally avoidant as a person (but you're also a psychologist) 🙋

Reflective practice is one of the core skills of practitioner psychologists. It helps us to understand ourselves and our clients better, and allows us to learn from our experiences so we can improve our practice.

HOWEVER! If you're a little bit on the emotionally avoidant side (ahem hi!) reflective practice (the deeper, emotionally driven kind) can feel a bit hard to engage with. Through my years as an assistant clinical psychologist and now that I am doing the clinical psychology doctorate (DClinPsy), I have learnt ways to help me do this, which I will share with you in this video :)
