  • One of my favourite topics in psychology actually comes from developmental psychology because I love learning about attachment and attachment styles. Since our attachment styles are critical to our mental health, the relationships we form and attachment impacts so many aspects of our lives. Therefore, some people need therapy to help readjust their attachment styles and help them so they can have healthier relationships and improve their lives. That’s why in this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’re going to be looking at what is attachment based therapy, how does it work, when is it used and more. If you enjoy learning about developmental psychology, mental health and attachment then this will be a brilliant episode for you.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how we can train the brain to be better at echolocation, how mindless scrolling actually increases boredom, and why a "thank you" really does go a long way.

  • I'm sorry everyone but unfortunately yesterday (8th September) my mental health collapsed so badly that I was unable to edit, upload and release today's podcast episode. I will try and edit as soon as possible but that really depends on my mental health. It absolutely has to be done before Thursday 12th September but it will be later than normal.

    Again, I am really sorry and thank you for being patient whilst I continue to deal with the horrific mental health impact of my sexual assault.

  • As aspiring and qualified psychologists and people interested in psychology, we read, listen and learn a lot of content about different mental health conditions. Yet as great as academic content is for helping us understanding a mental health condition, depression and anxiety, it is only lived experience that can possibly help us to truly understand what a condition is like for a client or service user. You can read as many academic papers on depression as you want but until you talk or listen to people who have or are currently experiencing depression then you will never be able to fully understand how depression impacts a person. Especially in their everyday life. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, I’ll be talking about my experience of a major depressive episode, which is still on-going as I finish off this blog post. You’ll learn about how it’s impacting me, what triggered my depression, the challenges depression gives me and more. If you enjoy learning about mental health, lived experience and depression then this is going to be a great episode for you.

  • For the vast majority of people, giving birth is a beautiful, wonderful and amazing experience that means they get to bring new life into the world. Yet for a lot of women, giving birth can be a very traumatic, hard and awful time in their life because childbirth can be overwhelming. As well as mothers can find it overwhelming to immediately transition from childbirth to the early stages of becoming a mother, meaning there is no time for the new mother to recover physically and emotionally after childbirth. Also, whilst women are told it should take about 6 weeks for their recovery to happen, in reality, there is no recovery time because of the new responsibilities and demands of being a new parent. This is often forgotten about by the majority of people (myself included). Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, we explore why can childbirth be potentially traumatic for women, and how does birth trauma burden a mother. If you enjoy learning about mental health, clinical psychology and trauma then this is a fascinating episode for you.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn is it better to prevent or fix mistakes in the criminal justice system, how immune changes could be a marker of depression (including my rant), and should psychologists rely on hypothesis generation by artificial intelligence?

  • Whether you’re a parent yourself, you know a child or you’re a child therapist then there are certain things you just need to know about child therapy. These facts can help child therapy be more successful, “easier” and it can improve the life of the child in the long term. I remember talking to a doctor once who worked with teenagers with eating disorders and she mentioned how the parents were the actual problem and main barrier to treatment. And if parents just knew a few more things then maybe the treatment would have been more successful sooner. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’re going to learn about what do clients need to know about child therapy. There are a lot of great points in this episode so if you enjoy learning about psychotherapy, child mental health and parenting then this is a great episode for you.

  • Today’s podcast episode comes out two days after me and my best friend moved in together for the next academic year and it’s just the two of us for 2-and-a-half months before two more of our friends join us. And even though me and my best friend aren’t a couple, it got me thinking about the sort of topics couples should talk about before they move in together to minimise conflict, arguments and relationship breakdown. Therefore, in today’s social psychology podcast episode, we discuss a wide range of topics any couple (and friends for that matter) should talk about before moving in together. I’ll add in some personal commentary and thoughts to bring this episode alive, so this should be a great one for everyone. Especially if you like learning about relationship psychology, social psychology and couple behaviour.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn why experiences more than stuff fosters connection to humanity, why older adults face barriers to Talking Therapies, and syntenic alcohols and psychedelics.

  • As a result of homophobia, transphobia and minority stress amongst other factors, there is a higher rate of mental health difficulties and conditions in the LGBT+ community compared to the general population. Also, LGBT+ individuals are more likely to be hate crimed and experience trauma in their lifetime so the need for psychological support and therapy is high. However, straight therapists often worry about whether they should work with a gay client or not because of the differences between them. In this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll explain why straight therapists should definitely work with gay clients and most importantly what should therapists know working with gay male clients. This is all about increasing awareness and helping the therapy to be more successful. If you enjoy learning about clinical psychology, minority stress and trauma then this is a great episode for you.

  • The vast majority of people have heard of Post-TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD) before when it comes to veterans and soldiers. Also, we know this mental health condition involves flashbacks, intrusive memories and panic attacks, but beyond that a lot of laypeople don’t know that much about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m only starting to learn more about PTSD because I have it because of my sexual assault, so whilst I don’t talk about it in this episode, my own experiences make this important to look at. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’ll be looking at what is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, what causes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and what are the symptoms of PTSD. I won’t cover treatments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in this episode because that’s a massive area and I’ve already spoken about that in different episodes on the podcast previously. So if you enjoy learning about mental health, trauma and clinical psychology then this is a great episode for you.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how a new sleep study ignites massive brain cleaning controversy, how not having an inner voice impacts cognitive performance, and new surprising findings about baby sounds.

  • With the university year ending and many students returning home for the summer to see their families, catch up with old friends and live in cheaper (or even free) accommodation, this is a time of year that is both great and difficult for LGBT+ people. If you or your client are closeted or if your family is homophobic then returning home can be difficult and decreases your mental health. This isn’t good. Therefore, today’s psychology podcast episode focuses on how to navigate going home as an LGBT+ person, including why this is difficult and what to do about it. Whether you’re LGBT+ or not, this is still a useful episode you can learn from.

  • Continuing our celebration of Pride Month here on the podcast, I want to look at the benefits of gender-affirming care on transgender youth. Since gender-affirming care saves lives, it improves mental health and it decreases gender dysphoria and the associated negative mental health outcomes. However, one debate that is raging across the world is whether underage transgender youth should be allowed to undergo gender-affirming care if they’re going through a mental health crisis. A crisisthat could led to suicide. In this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’ll look at why denying youth gender-affirming care could increase suicide, what we can do to help transgender youth and ultimately why giving youth a way of their gender dysphoria with gender-affirming care could save lives. If you enjoy learning about mental health, gender dysphoria and clinical psychology then this is a great episode for you.

  • When it comes to working with autistic individuals so we can support them, decrease their psychological distress and improve their lives, their perceptions are critical. Since we can have all the knowledge in the world but if our clients don’t think that the space supports them or if our therapy space distresses them, then this will hurt the therapeutic alliance. In turn, this will increase the chance of the therapy not being successful, so this is why creating a neurodiversity-affirming space is so important. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’re going to learn why is this important, how to create a neurodiversity affirming therapy space and essentially not simple changes can really benefit our clients. If you enjoy learning about autism, mental health and psychotherapy then this is a great episode for you.
