"The system wasn't created for you." That's the honest truth Elijah Murphy — PhD candidate in clinical psychology and incoming predoctoral intern at MUSC — shares in this episode of Therapist Confidential.
Elijah and host Travis Heath dig into the hidden curriculum that decides who makes it into grad school, what it really means to research hope and racial trauma, and why clinical psychology is still catching up on addressing racism in the therapy room. It's honest, it's nuanced, and it's a conversation every clinician — and every future clinician — should hear.
