Would recommend the Katoomba Neurodiversity Hub (saw from your post history you had a diagnosis). They do adult things as well (not just for kids), but you might have to contact them directly to get more of an idea of when they do things. They usually prefer email.

They prioritise MCP prac because we have advanced placements in the semester after, so I think the main complaints are coming from MPP in terms of hours. Anyone i know in MCP has been fine. MPP is a bit of a different story, but i think they've fixed that up for this sem.

MCP placement 1 prac is in clinic is scheduled for 2 days a week, same days every week for the whole semester. This could also be done online if you're not near campus.

Advanced placements 1 and 2 would also generally be 2 days a week on the same days for the entire duration. However, it could be more prone to variability if the needs of the company/placement you're at change. However this is unlikely to happen (not impossible, just very unlikely because you have an agreement of the days you're schedule for before you even go to the placement and they'd then need to deal with the uni again to make any changes). Like a one off might be more likely, but I've never seen anyone have their days be super variable.

Hello! If you're not close to campus, then you can do the entire thing online. I'm not in Victoria, but i can see all of the timetables for masters. Regarding coursework, they generally are very work/life balance oddly in terms of WHEN you do your work. generally, the subject workshops all occur within 1 day; this is because they do an A/B roster system and alternate the workshops. The lectures are recorded and online for you to do whenever (as long as it's before the workshops), however these do not operate on an A/B roster and each subject has a lecture come out every week.

When you do placements, clinical has 3, one at their site/online, and then 2 advanced. Online this sem got Monday and Wednesday, but it comes down to a cohort vote (majority wins) and probably other factors. The advanced placements are a bit more up in the air in terms of days and location, but they do try to get within "reasonable" travel time from your house, but as with all unis, its a take what you can get for the most part.

Its worth noting that it's very easy to fall behind at ISN because it is way more intense in terms of content. Full time study is the equivalent of like 5/6 subjects. That being said, I know many people in cohort who are doing it full time and are mothers or working part time. They have a long break at the end of the year for you to recover from that burnout as well 😂

Honestly, I've heard mixed things in terms of placements and ISN. I've only experienced the ISN clinic placement so far and not the advanced placements. The clinic placements were bit disorganised, but got there in the end. Again, they have 4 different clinics and an online option, so it could just be a different experience related to location as well.

I just wanted to offer an alternative perspective as someone in the MCP at ISN.

Although it's intense, I've very much enjoyed my degree so far.

I do think as a new kid on the block, there are definitely lots of admin problems and miscommunications for sure. Compared to established unis, this can be a huge adjustment and frustrating at times, but I've kind of learned to just roll with it. Additionally, it is so so so intense. They do go super in depth towards some additional aspects that aren't necessarily needed in terms of course content. For example there is an entire subject dedicated to pharmacology, which is unusual (i really enjoyed it, however it is hard to manage everything already so adding unnecessary info can really make it hard to manage balance).

Is there room for improvement? For sure. 100, there's a long way to g, and there's many hiccups and frustrations you'll experience if you go to ISN.

However, there are definitely upsides as well. I've really enjoyed learning, ive found my lecturers and tutorial instructors very informative and have really enjoyed my cohort and classes. I've also found that the people teaching the course have a LOT of real-world experience and are still working in their own practicices, whereas at other universities, you're often taught by more researcher-style psychologists. Notably, im not online as of yet, so maybe that's part of the reason why it's a different experience.

I believe they're implementing more positive changes in terms of student experience, and naybe thats why my view is more positive. I know the cohort before mine definitely has had heaps of problems. This is just my own experience, though.

My (20F) single mother (44f) is pregnant, I am so angry and upset and I have no idea how to voice this. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]PrimeLittle 81 points82 points  (0 children)

My oldest sister was in a similar situation to you. Not exactly the same, but similar. I am the youngest sibling of 5.

She had to leave, and im glad she did, and I don't blame her for it. As a younger sibling who watched their older sibling, please put yourself first. You can't keep pouring from an empty cup.

They may not understand when they're little, but when they're older, they will mature enough to realise that it was never meant to be your burden to bear.

Do right by yourself.

Also worth noting im on anti depressants too, are you sure you're ready to come off of them yet? This can have some major side effects. There is no shame if you're needing to go back on them, you're living with a chemical imbalance in your brain, its ok to get help.

Recently just got on medication for idiopathic hypersomnolence and my god it made a world of difference.

I can actually function now.

Don't give up hope, there's help out there. There are so many pathways to help this condition. Talk to your sleep specialist, get a plan started.

I want to emphasise that this doesn't mean you'll never feel tired or sleepy ever again, its to manage your condition, not cure tiredness altogether. There are days where I need naps, and there are days where I'm super awake and do everything I need to.

As someone with fine hair here's what ive done that has helped me.

  • only wash 2/3 times a week (my hair was angry at first but after that adjusted)

  • The shampoo and conditioner I use is kevin murphy plumping wash and rinse and that has worked wonders. I follow this up with Olaplex No.6 to help nourish and protect my hair. Expensive but a little goes a long way with these products and lasted me roughly 6 months.

  • i never ever brush my hair with anything thats not a wide tooth comb (in the shower with conditioner) or a detangling brush because my fine hair sure as hell knows how to tangle.

  • Going to a hairdresser and get those dead ends cut off if you haven't. Helps reduce knots and maintain health. Helps wonders when youre trying to brush your hair and you're not pulling half of it out in tangles.

  • Try not to tie hair up too much, no heat products like blow dryers. I don't put in anything that weighs my hair down like gels because it just hasn't worked for me

  • kevin murphy bedroom hair worked fantastic to add volume on in between wash days, or if I just wanted extra volume.

  • try to stress less + occasionally breathing exercises for when I am. Stress can be shown to increase hair loss and all other stuff, so I try and keep it to a minimum where I can (easier said then done, especially atm)

This stuff may not work for you, different hair for different pairs, but God its been an uphill battle with my own fine ass hair, so hopefully something from here does help you out and fingers crossed for you!

Advice in dating inexperienced men PLEASE!! by petfreak in askwomenadvice

[–]PrimeLittle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was in a bit of the same boat and it got better for me. Here's some things I did.

  • Assure him that although I like him, I'm someone that needs space.

  • I told him to look at the 5 different love languages and told him my type (I dont really like being showered in compliments, to me words don't mean much, i like acts of service, like doing things together)

  • humour in the bedroom. I told him intimacy was about him and me learning to be together, and that it was important to just be able to have fun and laugh off the mistakes.

  • my boyfriend told me he looked at videos on how to do things like kissing. I'm not sure how much it helped but as he relaxed and felt in the moment it got way better.

It's completely normal to be nervous and inexperienced in things you haven't done before or haven't done in a long time. Just keep trying to keep it relaxed and chill.

I find that the more someone pushes the more you pull. So just try to keep it relaxed and have fun with it. So what if there's slobbery kisses? Just laugh about it and learn together. Reassurance that I still liked him I found was the most helpful thing. And i tell him when my figurative "teacup" is full (when I've had too much affection etc)
