I've been going through the literature to see what I can find about the interpretation of responses (specifically low r) and I'm wondering if folks can offer direction on where I might find consultation or peer-reviewed evidence on this.

Without going into confidential details, I'm a psychologist and this is not a test I'm familiar with. (I do not administer it). I haven't found the information I'm looking for, and I'm looking to consult or offer names of experts in this area.

Not looking to meet someone online but rather for some direction if I'm not adequately reviewing the literature and on where to start finding folks that specialize in this test for forensic matters.

Edited to add this is for my own conceptualization of the differences between the testing I administered and my results/interpretation, and the results of a different psychologist that appear solely based on low r.

I've been practicing for almost 20 years and I think I have finally figured something out.

My sister passed away at 40 years old, and her death hit me harder than I could ever have imagined. The first two years were a fog, and I pushed through thinking that grief gets better and I can just focus on my clients as a distraction.

I've decided now to take off her birthday and passing date, it started with a day and now I take up to 5 days off just to allow myself all of my feelings. And I'm really lucky that the feelings of sadness and grief are accompanied by lots of joy and laughter as I share memories.

Like many of us, I forget that I'm a human being with needs and my own feelings. I sometimes prioritize seeing clients when I should be taking time off.

I'm doing it different nowadays.

I have this week off to do all of the things that she enjoyed, like go to the movies and eat licorice.

How are my peers honouring difficult life events while supporting people going through difficult life events? I'd love to hear your stories, even if you haven't quite found your way yet.
