  • 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.

Sally Maslansky, LMFT: A Brilliant Adaptation: Trauma, Dissociation, and Healing
Q: How common is DID, and how prevalent is memory fragmentation in the population?
Sally references estimates suggesting up to 20-30% of the population could have a dissociative disorder, though she notes variability in diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of clinicians recognizing memory barriers as a sign of possible DID.
Sally Maslansky, LMFT: A Brilliant Adaptation: Trauma, Dissociation, and Healing
Q: Why did you want to write this book, especially one that was so deeply personal?
Sally explains that becoming a therapist after therapy led her to share her story to help others understand DID, and to answer common questions from readers about her experience and what Dan Siegel did that was healing.
Dr. George James - I Give Myself Permission
Q: What are practical signs that someone is stuck in a narrative or living someone else's values, and how would you advise a listener to check in with their own story?
Dr. James suggests looking for recurring patterns, loss of autonomy, and decisions that consistently align with external expectations rather than personal values; he advocates ongoing self-reflection, therapist feedback, and adaptive steps like small, achievable changes.
Dr. George James - I Give Myself Permission
Q: How do you balance helping people connect with their agency and autonomy with recognizing structural barriers that may cap what they can achieve?
The guest discusses validating experiences of discrimination and systemic limits, while encouraging individuals to find personal agency where possible, such as seeking allies, new roles, or communities, and revisiting options as circumstances evolve.
Dr. George James - I Give Myself Permission
Q: One of the things I'd like to ask you about as a clinician is how you help someone attune to what is going to be right for them when they're considering a big change.
Dr. James explains that clinicians assess internal cues and barriers, help clients distinguish changes that come from core beliefs versus those that are externally driven, and use narrative techniques to guide decisions while respecting the client's pace.
