We are two two second-year Clinical Psychologists in Training. We started studying the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in September 2019. We are also both parents. We started this podcast in our first year of training, with the hope of sharing some of our experiences of DClinPsy training so far. Importantly, we hope to build a virtual community of trainees and aspiring psychologists who are parents/caregivers, so that we can support each other through this challenging journey!

Episode 4: Parenting during the pandemic in Year 2 of the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
In this episode we share our experiencing of starting our second year of the DClin Doctorate. We reflect on what it has been like to carry on parenting during pandemic and how that feels now that we have in Year 2.
We talk about the importance of the wider contexts surrounding training and we catch up about how the kids are getting on, and share tips on how we manage situations where we want to get on with work but our kids just want to play! We talk about what helps us to shift from 'work mode' to 'mum mode'?
We share how we have learnt to accept that with kids and training, we can’t be in control of everything and how liberating it can feel to let the children take on the role of ‘boss’ sometimes..
We really hope that you enjoy listening!
