'Isn't it mad that we're all psychologists and we can't talk about our feelings?': A mixed-methods study exploring trainee clinical psychologists' experience of (non)disclosure of psychological distress during training.

Objective: Literature on trainee clinical psychologists' mental health has highlighted elevated levels of mental health difficulties and/or psychological distress and low levels of disclosure within the workplace. The current study aimed to explore (1) trainee experiences of disclosure and/or concealment of psychological distress during their training, (2) beliefs, assumptions or predictions related to disclosure and (3) responses to disclosure.

Methods: A mixed-methods strategy was employed; 165 trainee or recently qualified clinical psychologists took part in an online survey.
