    *AD FREE* Can I Actually Trust My Own Memory?

    ***Hear this week’s episode AD free and in full by subscribing to FIGURING IT OUT+ above*** What if some of the memories you’re certain happened didn’t happen quite the way you remember them? Dr Alex George and research scientist Dr Kathryn Bates explore how memory actually works, why some people have vivid memories from early childhood while others remember almost nothing, and the groundbreaking experiment that showed how changing a single word could alter what people remembered about a car crash. Plus, a listener asks whether photographic memory is actually real, and in Myth, Fact and It’s Complicated, we find out what alcohol really does to your memories and why hypnosis may be more likely to create false memories than uncover repressed ones. No lectures. No easy answers. Just two people trying their best to figure it out. We're not here to give medical advice, we're just two friends exploring the science and figuring out life together. If you have any concerns about your health, please speak to your doctor. Each episode arrives in three parts from Monday to Wednesday. Part One tackles the Big Question. Part Two answers a real dilemma sent in by a listener. Part Three puts the most common claims to the test in Myth, Fact and It’s Complicated.

    Are Gratitude Journals and Your Mindset Just Manifestation Rebranded? | Pt 3

    Social media claims your brain is wired to help you manifest. Gratitude journals and positive mindsets are often presented as the science-backed alternative to vision boards, but is any of it actually the same thing? In Part 3, Dr Alex George and research scientist Dr Kathryn Bates separate myth from fact as they explore the neuroscience behind manifestation, the difference between a positive mindset and magical thinking, and what placebo effects really tell us about the power of our beliefs. No lectures. No easy answers. Just two people trying their best to figure it out. We're not here to give medical advice, we're just two friends exploring the science and figuring out life together.
