Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The art of emotional presence (with Dr. Lou Cooper)
Q: How do you persuade someone to pay attention to emotions if they see them as hindering their wellbeing?
By showing how emotions inform us about our needs and by providing concrete ways to experience and express them safely, people can see emotions as practical signals rather than obstacles.
Why practise – not years – builds better therapists (with Dr. Scott Miller)
Q: What would you change in how we train therapists to maximize effectiveness?
Shift entry requirements to select for relational and interpersonal abilities, recognize diverse cultural practices, and embed coaching and feedback as core elements of training.
Why practise – not years – builds better therapists (with Dr. Scott Miller)
Q: If we want to improve outcomes, is learning new treatment modalities more important than improving responsiveness and relationship skills?
Mastery of many models isn't correlated with better outcomes; more impact comes from improving responsiveness, alliance, and tailoring the approach to the individual client with ongoing feedback.
Why practise – not years – builds better therapists (with Dr. Scott Miller)
Q: So, one thing, Scott, that students often ask me is how do we know clients will be honest with us about their progress?
The distinction between honesty and engagement is more useful; therapy benefits when we treat scores as informative signals and discuss their meaning with the client, rather than judging the client for high or low scores.
Social media and young people: Who takes responsibility? (with Dr. Rys Farthing)
Q: What structural policy changes do you think are most urgent to keep young people safer online?
The guest outlines a five-part regulatory framework: duty of care for platforms, risk assessments, mitigation strategies, transparency, and enforceable accountability with meaningful penalties to drive change.
