  • Most Favorite Podcast

    Hands down my most favorite podcast. Dr. Kirk Honda’s perpective and ongoing experience as a dedicated therapist and psychology professor is a true gift to anyone wanting to understand themselves and everyone else better. I love psychology podcasts, and the way he explains the most dense & complicated concepts and makes them relatable and accessible is next level. I became a Patreon member to get access to all the full versions, and it’s delivered way beyond my expectations!!

  • Please speak on the rise of authoritarianism

    Hey Kirk, I’m a long time listener and quite disappointed that you are not speaking on what is happening in the United States. I can can see you are recycling a lot of content and perhaps you have too much on and not enough bandwidth? If you could speak on this issue, I and many others would be grateful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paris Hilton Kidnapped (2020 Rerun)
Q: What do you think is the most important step for families and clinicians right now?
Prioritize evidence-based trauma-informed family therapy, push for laws and auditing to shut down the truly abusive facilities, and advocate for state-supported wraparound services that keep families together and support healing rather than punishment.
Paris Hilton Kidnapped (2020 Rerun)
Q: Kate, what would you like listeners to understand about the seminars and the WASP system?
The seminars were designed in a way that stripped personal identity and autonomy, often using coercive, cult-like methods that caused deep psychological damage; the system varied in its tactics, and while some programs may have had more benign elements, there is a pattern of abuse that necessitates independent oversight and reform.
Intellectual Clients, Person-Centered, and Phenomenology
Q: Is person-centered therapy good for trauma, and what are its limits, especially for PTSD or complex cases?
Person-centered therapy is not a universal solution for trauma; its effectiveness depends on the type of trauma and whether the therapist has an appropriate trauma-focused framework. For PTSD or complex trauma, a therapist should integrate emotional regulation, distress management, and exposure-based elements within a trauma-informed approach to avoid retraumatization.
Intellectual Clients, Person-Centered, and Phenomenology
Q: What is therapy or what's the point of therapy, in a succinct, elevator-pitch sense?
Therapy is a voluntary, collaborative process where a client and therapist work together to address a psychological issue, with the aim of understanding the client's experience, fostering self-understanding, and improving relationships and functioning.
Parasocial Panic, Kink Fantasy Fandoms, MBTI, and Other Topics
Q: What stance should audiences take toward personality tests like Myers-Briggs when used in therapy or self-understanding?
They can be useful as exploratory tools if used with scientific caution and integrated with broader assessment, but listeners should recognize their limitations and avoid treating them as definitive measures of personality.
