First of all, I LOVE that cartoon!
I'm currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Somatic Depth Psychology (a non-clinical program, focused mostly on qualitative research), and I know that I have very slim chances at a traditional academic career. And I'm OK with that. I'm excited to keep having these conversations with grad students and Ph.D's across the spectrum about the kind of shifts we all would like to see in the community. And I'm also excited to see the various different paths and opportunities we create for ourselves!
