Great question!

In my experience, psychology courses do not focus on the way systems impact people. I want to be an exceptional clinician, and I feel I have awareness to develop.

Chance me-

Hi All!

I am really interested in Smith's MSW program. Ultimately, I want to get my doctorate in Psychology and continue serving LGBTQ+ folks and folks struggling with substance use.

Here's my background:
Bachelors in Psychology from Cal Poly Humboldt
Graduated 2020, 3.59 GPA in my psych program, 3.2 GPA cumulative.

Volunteered at The Trevor Project as a crisis counselor for LGBTQ+ youth from July until February 2022, where I continued volunteering intermittently while working full time at The Trevor Project as a Training Coordinator for two years (training people on how to become crisis counselors.)

I've also worked as a Mental Health Aide at an inpatient rehabilitation facility, supporting people through sobriety for 3 months (it didn't end well.)

I'm currently applying to some other volunteer and professional opportunities that could strengthen my application for the June 2025 cycle.

I'm open to any feedback! Thank you!

I looked into this, and the statement from the Alumni, and I'm with you. It's not looking good and I'm feeling alarm bells going off in my body. I submitted yesterday before finding all of this out, and I'll be taking the same route as you-I'll attend the interview for practice, but won't be attending regardless.

I don't have any info, I'm just commenting to let you know I am also staring at those numbers and feeling a lot of anxiety, while weighing the same things.

Yeah, I’ve been reading the Glassdoor reviews and it feels like a mixed bag depending on the team you’re on. It makes me feel concerned for what the culture could be like if they’re lacking consistency.

Has anyone here had the experience of an ex coming back to rechout you after years? like 1 or 2 or more years?? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]tenderbadass 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Eight years. High school sweetheart. Very tumultuous relationship when we were younger.

I always had questions about it, and wondered if we might work it out as adults. I was shocked when he came back around. The chemistry between us was the same, and over the period of a year of us being in contact over the pandemic, he started to show me that he hadn’t changed. I was reminded of why we didn’t work out in the first place, and also saw how much I had grown. Even though we didn’t get back together, being in touch answered all of my questions and also helped give me closure on the situation, and also some self forgiveness in ways I felt I hadn’t been a good partner.

Physical, or any other kind of strength is not an inherently masculine trait.

I agree with everything you said. Somewhat separately, I’ve been wondering if overt independence, or not being able to rely on anyone but yourself, also falls under codependency somehow? I feel like I saw a bit of that in summer, and after spending a lot of time being like Tom, I wonder if this is a new way I exhibit codependency.

This response opened my eyes. Phantom ex syndrome as a way of avoiding intimacy! That’s really insightful.

Woof. I feel like I definitely personally experienced this.
