We are ALPESE, the largest provider of licensing exam preparation programs for psychologists in the U.S. and Canada. We are inviting individuals to contribute deeply personal, powerful stories to our "Share Your Story!" project — an initiative designed to transform how future psychologists understand the human side of diagnosis. The contract calls for you to create TWO video stories (one 30 seconds, one 90 seconds) that offer authentic insight into living with neurological, psychiatric, or psychological conditions. We'll supply a focused prompt to guide your storytelling. Your voice can be what helps a student connect the dots between a name on a page and the real lived experience behind it. The videos will be included in our online workshops intended to assist clinicians in developing their skills for working with individuals diagnosed with certain conditions, including those that appear on the list below. Your story could change how a future clinician listens, cares, and helps. We are seeking stories on the following conditions. Please indicate which one you'll be sharing about. Acute stress disorder Alcohol withdrawal Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Autism spectrum disorder Bipolar I disorder Bipolar II disorder Borderline personality disorder Brief psychotic disorder Cyclothymic disorder Delusions Diabetes Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder Generalized anxiety disorder Generalized anxiety disorder (in childhood) Intermittent explosive disorder Narcolepsy Neurocognitive disorder (dementia) Neurocognitive disorder with Lewy bodies Opioid withdrawal Pica Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Premature ejaculation Pseudodementia and depression Reactive attachment disorder Schizoid personality disorder Schizophrenia Schizophrenia and tobacco use disorder Separation anxiety disorder Somatic symptom disorder
