Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 118: Exploring LGBTQ+ Identity in Psychology

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

You might remember Phil from a previous episode speaking about personal growth and self-discovery, so definitely check that out. Join us as we delve into why research matters, the experience of working in the mental health field as someone with an LGBTQ+ identity, the importance of understanding cross-cultural differences and how you can get involved in Phil’s fascinating research study!
