  • Great interviewing & topics

    Have just discovered this podcast and as a 4th year Psychology student, I am thoroughly enjoying the quality of the discussions.

    Loved the interview with James Hollis - I hope I am also still practicing and contributing meaningfully to the profession at 84 years.

    Thank you team!

  • Conversation that hits the right topics

    Pete, the host, is well-informed, experienced, engaging and knows what clinicians and mental health consumers are thinking, feeling and doing (and maybe not doing yet).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Barbara Minton - Healing Through Music and Neuroscience
Q: Is there a framework or manualized approach clinicians can follow to implement music-based interventions within evidence-based practice?
There is a two-day clinician workshop that has received positive feedback and offers a practical, evidence-informed set of steps; the speaker notes it isn't fully formalized as an RCT-style protocol yet but emphasizes feasibility and clinician-driven homework and personalization.
Dr. Barbara Minton - Healing Through Music and Neuroscience
Q: Can you give a practical sense of how music-based therapy would look for a client in a typical session?
Clinicians would start by asking what music the client enjoys, use music as a reward in neurofeedback when appropriate, and tailor playlists to target specific brain states or symptoms; data collection is ongoing but even early findings suggest potential reductions in pain and migraine and improved regulation.
Dr. Douglas Flemons - Rethinking Empathy
Q: Can one experience empathy and sympathy at the same time?
Yes, filling in resonance fatigue and distinguishing the experiences is key to managing both.
Dr. Douglas Flemons - Rethinking Empathy
Q: What prompted you to write this book?
The provocative nature of Paul Bloom's book Against Empathy instigated my curiosity into understanding the distinctions between empathy and sympathy.
Dr. Jesse Finkelstein - A DBT Guide to Navigating Stress, Emotions, and Relationships
Q: What do you hope readers might take away from the book?
I hope folks take away a couple of things. One, there are skills, tools available that can help reduce your suffering. Pain in life is inevitable. And you don't need to augment that pain by engaging in behaviors in ways that cause you additional suffering.
