  • Engaging

    Essential, entertaining, engaging - love love love this podcast. I’ve arrived late so I’m picking all the eps about my issues (lots) - but eventually I’ll listen to all. James is fantastic at asking pertinent questions and making links to applicable contexts from the Prof’s knowledge and advice.

    These two guys are a fabulous combination. The professor is so knowledgeable and down to earth, James is an engaging fellow host. I’m loving this podcast. Can you please cover borderline personality disorder, bipolar 1 and 2 and do more on ptsd? Also, something on inter -generational trauma? Thank you.
