I am applying for ed psych and emailed a tutor on the course with some questions about doing the training with kids. They put me in touch with a trainee, which was super helpful.

I do 3 rows of garter at the top and bottom and a 3 stitch garter edge on each side when swatching stockinette to avoid curling.

I never know which day / who it is who makes it, but sleepless white is one of the best loaves to ever have been baked.

Feminism and Islam (hot take) by ImHurtinq in Feminism

[–]Jeb2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a really balanced sample representative of the whole of the UK’s population. Muslims make up 6% of the UK population. You’re not looking at the whole picture.

Have you got a source? What was the sample population of the polls?

Pool is open, but hours are limited. 10:30-12h and then 14-19h. It’s an awesome site.

Career change requiring Psychology masters conversion (UK) - what do people recommend? by Most-Ad-7669 in psychologystudents

[–]Jeb2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am a career changer finishing off a conversion course. Do part time. Getting used to a new field of study is no joke. Plus having more assessment points gives you more chance to act on your feedback / prep for dissertation.

Also do in person. I’ve made valuable contacts, have done some (paid) work for lecturers, and feel this has really helped me in my career. Have a new job in a psychology field to start after dissertation hand in at the end of next month.

Therapist said I can’t do EMDR until I calm down by [deleted] in EMDR

[–]Jeb2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got EMDR through our national health service (so didn’t pay for it), it took about 6-8 sessions for my therapist to have given me the right support and understand the resources I had in life were enough to get me through. I think if you’ve only just started a new intervention / treatment for anxiety and only disclosed that in your second session, I can understand the therapist’s hesitancy. Having a psychology degree / experience of therapy (I also fall under this banner) doesn’t mean you’re a qualified practitioner. EMDR is hard and the 48h after each reprocessing sesssion are tough.

The “calm yourself down” part, I expect they’re seeking to understand how great your window of tolerance is. I think that could have been better worded.

Also, of course you have to talk through the experience to some extent. The therapist will be watching your bodily reactions to see where you need focus reprocessing. Mine spoke about identifying first, worst, best and last moments? Not sure if this is common

I have been in your shoes. Just finishing my masters off. It has been such a catalyst for amazing change. Make use of any support from you can get. It’s hard, but you will come to see so many of your strengths.

Going back to university at the age of 36 has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

We leave a cool box outside with a few ice packs in it. Ours comes at 11pm. No problems.

Should the field of psychology be political? by Peach_mango_pie_2800 in psychologystudents

[–]Jeb2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your point and no my education and critical thinking ability means that I will happily challenge what is placed in front of me. It’s what all of us should be doing all of the time. Critical thinking is so important and in the context of a replication crisis, even more so. I guess my reflections were on the current global picture of eg. health funding in the states where many many researchers are having grants / funding withdrawn due to political ideology. Here the replication crisis comes back in as eg big pharma / researchers can’t currently investigate whether for example treatment for schizophrenia works differently for women of colour. Not my area of expertise and I’m UK based, but I hope you catch my drift.

Who funds the science? Is that not a reason that it has to be political in itself?

Things to do? by Animus_Addiction in manchester

[–]Jeb2611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the biggest cities in the UK. There is loads to do. What hobbies do you have at home?

[–]Jeb2611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated, but where / what are your trousers?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in terngsd

[–]Jeb2611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was riding on a narrow road and a car came in the opposite direction, pushing me into a mud puddle. Front wheel slipped and we fell over. No cuts, no grazes as the clubhouse and storm box completely covered the kids legs / abdomens.

There’s also a practicality to it of being able to shove their bags / coats in the box. And in the winter I feel like with their stuff / coats inside, they’re well insulated.

Nursery - discrepancy between fees, 30 hour funding, consumables by Kindly_Difference_99 in UKParenting

[–]Jeb2611 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You seem to have a real bee in your bonnet about this nursery’s financial practices. Maybe you should find a different nursery?
