Show Notes for The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast Episode 104: The 5 things I wish I had known as a Psychology Undergraduate

Thank you for listening to the Aspiring Psychologist Podcast.

I hope application season has gone well this year, for whatever type of psychologist you are aspiring to be. In our previous episode, I spoke about failures and reflected on what that means to me. In this episode, I discuss some of the things I wish I had known as a psychology undergraduate. Join us as I reflect on my experiences in my younger years, roles, jobs and the value of research before graduating. I reflect on support and how therapy has transformed me as a person too. This episode also features some resources for your own psychology journeys which I hope you find helpful.

I’d love any feedback you might have, and I’d love to be connected with you on socials so I can help you to celebrate your wins!
