It's a listener story, wahooo! 🤩⭐ Bron is joined by Fabian, a newly registered psychologist (congrats Fabian!) who talks about his journey towards registration and the valuable lessons learned along the way. Fabian shares what it was like to study psychology internationally, their work in gender-affirming therapy 🏳️‍⚧️, overcoming imposter syndrome, balancing academic and work life, and his future aspirations in the field. SUCH a great convo, be sure to tune in!
