    Getting practical with Cognitive Defusion with Dr Richard MacKinnon

    Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 57 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
    P Soupers - it's part 3B of our mini series - my new collaboration with Dr Richard MacKinnon from WorkLifePsych - where we delve into all things related to psychological flexibility and ACT. We're aiming to show you how relevant it is - not only to your work life, but your whole life. In part 3B we get practical with cognitive defusion sharing techniques and insights - and we cover factory conveyor belts, sushi restaurants, tiresome cousins, being a bus driver and talking about the role of the caution calculator. We share really practical techniques and skills to allow you to relate differently to your thoughts, freeing up you energy and attention to enable you to move towards what matters in life.
    People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about Unlocking Workplace Potential with expert perspectives from Contextual Behavioural Science.
    Another first for Season 5 is that I'm adding a transcript, wherever possible. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all!

    Perspectacles the Remix

    Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5, Episode 55 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.
    P Soupers - this week it's a cup a soup and a remix. I bring you a refreshed version of one of our most popular episodes from Season 4. I want to talk to you about perspective taking and how that relates to the world between our ears. I'm recording this new intro in Granada, Spain - I'm attending the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology and yesterday we presented some research and a glimpse into the workplace delivery. Now, if you could just try on these per spectacles please and read the bottom line of that chart over there.

    Dr Ranj Singh - Sleep & Wellness Ambassador

    Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 52 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 
    P Soupers - I've got a treat for you this week - a few weeks ago I had a chat with an NHS Doctor who is also a Best selling Author, TV Doctor, Bafta award winner and P Soupers - he's only been on Strictly too! It's Dr Ranj Singh. In our chat we talk about how accustomed he is to receiving feedback, his mindset of exploring new opportunities, his creative sidestep into media and writing books and his role as sleep and wellness ambassador for Furniture Village. We talk about his value of helping others and explore the universal topic of sleep from a variety of angles. Of course - Dr Ranj also selects his song choice and leaves us with a top tip.
