Great discussions of theory and applied behavioural interventions across a wide breadth of human experience. Real life and practice reflections integrated with foundational understanding of the human mind, biology and social structure.
I listen to every episode with interest and take away something useful each time. I love the interviews, but the solo episodes are valuable too.
I really appreciate the clarity and expertise of this podcast. It’s not about entertaining effects and storytelling, but content. It’s generous, measured, almost anti-sensationalist, a cure.
Every episode is enlightening. The approach, conversations and depth of information is deeply enriching. So refreshing to hear practitioners with this level of insight into human behaviour.
Thank you for the work and for sharing.
Not a single episode that doesn't fascinate me. Thank you for all your hard work. I especially love the clinical topic overviews and the evolutional psychiatry episode. Maybe something on women's health or menopause would be great. There are women's health clinics opening up around the country and it's becoming more of a focus.
