Today on Mental Work, Bron is joined by Sahra O'Doherty (Psychologist and Director of AAPi) to unpack the dilemma of 'What can I wear to work?' They touch on 👉🏽 What does it mean when a supervisor directs you to 'Dress Professionally'? 👉🏻 How our ideas of 'professionalism' may exclude psychs with diverse body shapes/sizes and cultural diversity 👉 All the taboos! Tattoos, coloured hair, piercings, and bright clothes.
