I was notified that I have until November to apply to my grad program. At minimum, I need to write a paper and at maximum, I need to submit a project proposal. It's time everyone. #YvettePicardMatters

Today was my first class for my latest course

Psychiatry: Science, Religion, Oppression, Control

Already a great discussion, I think this will be a good one.

Arcane's Jinx as Psychotic Representation in Media

As part of my Mental Health in the Movies Project, I discuss Arcane's Jinx as representation of mental illness, psychosis, and societal rot.

Had my first class of Psychopathology and Society and our assignment is to bring in mainstream examples of it. So I can make my class watch Picard and SVU. #YvettePicardMatters

At a planning meeting for a workshop on grief and despair (part 1: processing, part 2: taking action) it was said that grief and despair are part of the human condition (true) so what makes now different? Cue discussion. But I don't think it matters, we are new people. We are the difference.

I'm just tired of this knee jerk need to compare and contrast. If it's part of the human condition it's going to come up every generation!

Anyway. #YvettePicardMatters

I sobbed when he showed it to me because it proves how well we communicate. We can share hard stuff and when words fail music and stories fill the gaps. My son made a video about the trauma of losing one’s mother (in this case to suicide) for Mother’s Day. That’s how we work and who we are.
