    What Are 3 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    As an aspiring clinical psychologist that is hardcore into the idea that it is critical to our clinical work that we learn different techniques from different therapies, I want to focus on different therapeutic techniques. I think this is critical because in order to help our clients to the best of our abilities, we need to give ourselves as many tools as possible so we can share them with our clients. All to help them decrease their psychological distress, improve their lives and give back control of their lives to them. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what is guided imagery, Socratic questioning, and cognitive reframing. As well as what these techniques do, their advantages, disadvantages and more. If you enjoy learning about what mental health, therapy and practical techniques then this will be a great episode for you.

    What Are The Mental Health Benefits Of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy? A Biological Psychology and Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Please subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any new episodes. As we saw in How Can Therapists and Parents Support Transgender Teenagers? There are high rates of suicide, self-harm and depression in transgender youth. One of the ways to decrease these awful mental health outcomes is medical transitioning, where transgender youth transition from the gender they were assigned at birth to their affirmed gender by developing the characterised physical features of their affirmed gender. An effective way of medical transitioning is by Hormone Replacement Therapy because masculine hormones can make fat move away from the hips and thighs and deepen the voice. Whereas feminine hormones can make body fat move towards the hips and thighs and lead to the development of breasts. However, Hormone Replacement Therapy focuses on physical benefits for transgender youth, and yet this is a psychology podcast and I am a firm believer in the biopsychosocial model. Therefore, in this biological psychology podcast episode, we’re going to be investigating the psychological benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy on transgender youth. This is going to be a lot of fun. If you enjoy learning about how hormones affect our behaviour, mental health and self-image, then you’ll love today’s episode. LISTEN NOW!

    What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages of Clinical Cutoffs? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Throughout my clinical psychology education, there have been multiple times when a lecturer, an academic resource or a paper has mentioned that clinical cutoffs aren’t the best and they are problematic.

I wanted to change this, not only for my own education but so I can educate others have the pros and cons of the cutoffs.

    Are All Barriers In Clinical Psychology The Same Height? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    When it comes to clinical psychology, it is a very white, female, middle-class professional and I’ve spoken and written about the various reasons why this is the case and why this needs to change urgently. Diversity will always be critical within clinical psychology and related mental health professions, but a major reason why clinical psychology isn’t that diverse is because of barriers to the profession. For different groups of people, even including white men, there are different barriers that can limit access to the clinical psychology profession, but this doesn’t mean that all barriers are the same height. Therefore, in this psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what these barriers are, why they aren’t always the same height and what we can do as profession to help flatten and hopefully outright eliminate some of these barriers. If you enjoy learning about careers in psychology, mental health professions and more then this is a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn at what surprising age we start to treat people differently based on their wealth, how our sensitivity impacts our mental health and the importance of electrical smiles. And a fascinating soapbox section where Connor Whiteley explains his strong dislike of the biomedical model based on a recent experience. LISTEN NOW!
