Next week at the time of writing, I have a job interview and one of the questions relates to what are the signs of radicalisation in children.

In addition, whilst we’ve previously learnt about terrorism and other related criminal psychology topics on the podcast, we haven’t learnt about radicalisation too much before now.

During my learning difficulties assessment back in December 2024, the lovely woman conducting the assessment tested me for a wide range of different mental health conditions.

I mentioned something and she agreed the diagnosis didn’t match me, but I still want to learn more.

Whether you’re an aspiring psychologist, psychology student or loved one of a teenager, this podcast episode will be immensely useful to you. Since my audience is mainly psychology students and aspiring and qualified psychologists, I want to mention that depending on the mental health service you work in, there is a chance you’ll encounter a survivor of sexual violence. As well as I’ve already mentioned on the podcast before unfortunately how common sexual assault is for men and women. Yet unfortunately teenagers can be subjected to sexual assault too, and this presents us with an issue becausesome of the advice about how to help adult survivors doesn’t work for teenagers. As well as because teenagers are still children and as parents or friends or loved ones, we want to protect them at all costs, we aren’t always sure how to help them. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn a range of tips on how to help a teenage sexual assault survivor. If you enjoy learning about mental health, victim support and the healing after sexual assault then this will be a useful, insightful and great episode for you.

As I near the end of my Clinical Psychology MSc and look towards the future of working in mental health, I am increasingly being concerned, disillusioned and unsure about any sort of future employment. Not because I am a bad candidate, a bad student or someone who doesn’t care about psychology. I seriously love and care about clinical psychology. Yet there are massive barriers and silly experience requirements baked into clinical psychology that mean the less privileged are less likely to be able to work in mental health than their richer peers. Therefore, in this careers in psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn about why am I disillusioned with clinical psychology, how my inability to take unpaid work has limited my career options and how am I dealing with the impracticality of working in clinical psychology.

Then I started thinking about validation in mental health because often my mental health has gotten worse after someone invalidated me, my feelings and my experiences.

Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode with some clinical psychology implications, you’ll learn about what is validation, why is validation a social superpower and how to validate other people more often.
