  • Host sounds like he’s asleep

    Listening to the interview with Alison Miller about RAMCO. She’s doing a great job explaining but the host sounds like he’s asleep or incredibly bored. He mumbles at times and his voice trails off to almost a whisper.

  • Promoting a private equity funded trauma therapy ??

    The treatment offered by Stella for PTSD has no RTCs to show it’s effective yet it’s promoted by this podcast. Shame on you. We have enough quackery in psychology and suffering patients deserve evidence based treatments not scams.

  • Please stop using the term “borderline”

    It’s misogynist and homophobic and disenfranchises people who meet that criteria from mental health care and health care more broadly. And please have clinicians discuss this matter NOT literature/philosophy professors.

    Let’s take an irrelevant term and then globalize it to be about society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Empathy Takes Action: An Autistic Therapist on the Radical Work of Connection
Q: How does the concept of radical empathy influence therapeutic practice and social justice?
Radical empathy requires recognizing power imbalances and actively working to address them in therapy and in society, drawing on anti-oppressive approaches to elevate client autonomy and reduce harm.
Empathy Takes Action: An Autistic Therapist on the Radical Work of Connection
Q: Why is it important to address misconceptions about autism and empathy?
Misconceptions about lack of empathy in autistic people lead to stigma and harm; the book argues empathy is a shared human capacity that can be cultivated, and autistic people often demonstrate careful, direct communication to understand others.
Empathy Takes Action: An Autistic Therapist on the Radical Work of Connection
Q: Can you tell us about the five pillars of empathy?
The five pillars are humility, embodiment, amoral, radical, and work; they define empathy as a practiced, embodied process rather than a fixed trait.
Heather Shay, "Identity Building Among Role-Playing Gamers: Slaying Goblins in the Real World" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: How did you decide to research role-playing and how did you get into role-playing games?
Shay explains she started as a tabletop role-playing gamer in college, pursued a social psychology-focused dissertation on inequality, and chose gaming as a compelling site to study identity work and social interaction.
Sunita Sah, "Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes" (Random House, 2025)
Q: What are the five stages of defiance, and how can individuals use them in everyday work life?
The five stages move from recognizing and naming the tension (stage one) to acknowledging it (stage two), voicing concerns (stage three), signaling non-compliance (stage four), and finally speaking up or saying no (stage five). The framework helps people prepare, practice, and act in ways that align with their values without requiring superhuman bravery.
