This podcast explores the topic of psychology through a variety of lenses, focusing in on different aspects of mental health, trauma, stigma, and more. Everything from anxiety to coping with loss to drug addiction. Not only is it rare to find a podcast exclusively dedicated to psychology and psychotherapy (though I’m quite sure there are plenty out there), but I find this show has the remarkable feature of being accessible to both laypeople and professionals alike.
Awesome!
