    How Can Divorce Impact Mental Health? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Main content starts at 19:20. Over the past few weeks in the United Kingdom, the advert for the new TV programme "Youth" on HBO Max has been playing and it gets me thinking every time I see it. The story follows a divorced single mother trying to relive her youth when her son goes off to university. To me, that life transition is fascinating. Her sense of self, her self-esteem and her motivations might all change overnight because of her son going off to university. That transition is a psychological goldmine. However, to start off looking into this topic, I really do want us to investigate divorce and how it impacts our mental health. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll understand how divorce impacts our mental health, how to cope with divorce and so much more. If you enjoy learning about mental health, life transitions and social psychology, then this will be a great episode for you.  In the psychology news section, you'll learn how AI is more persuasive than humans, high progesterone may "blur" emotional situations, and taking a screenshot makes you less likely to remember information.

    When Should Someone Consider Cognitive Behavioural Therapy For Insomnia? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Main section starts 22:50. Over the past few months as I've started new roles, my life has changed in different ways and I have so many new and exciting projects, I do find myself slightly struggling to sleep some nights. In a previous podcast episode on how anxiety and rumination disrupt sleep, I discussed how hyperarousal can disrupt our sleep patterns. Yet on The Psychology World Podcast, we haven't discussed when it might be a good idea for someone who struggles with sleep to consider and reach out to a mental health professional. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn more about cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, when it might be a good idea to consider it and so much more. If you enjoy learning about sleep psychology, how to improve your sleep and mental health, then this will be a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn about whether paracetamol helps us to take risks, how the person that ghosted you feels worse about it than you think, and does taking "dirty work" affect future hireability?

    What is Borderline Personality Disorder? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    In recent years, clinical psychology has undergone a lot of different changes. Some of these changes, like the rise of artificial intelligence, I have kept my eye on but other changes less so. For example, in the past few years, there's been a move within psychology to move away from calling personality disorders, well, personality disorders and towards Complex Emotional Needs. Another change that isn't so recent but it is something that I've started to notice more and more is the label of Borderline Personality Disorder becoming Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. These two mental health conditions are the same, and borderline personality disorder is typically the personality disorder that we hear the most about. Yet that doesn't mean that we know what it is in any great depth. As well as people typically know myths and misconceptions about the condition without realizing it. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn what borderline personality disorder is, what are the symptoms and causes and how it is treated. If you enjoy learning about personality, mental health and psychotherapy, then this will be a great episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn about what do we know about anauralia so far, the power of nature in making decisions, and how nature exposure improves body image in young women.

    Why Should Conversion Therapy Be Illegal? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Main content starts at 27:50. Please subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any new episodes. Conversion therapy is aimed at making gay people straight and transgender individuals to cisgender. There is no science behind these cruel, manipulative and torturous forms of so-called corrective therapy and there is a lot of empirical evidence showing the psychological harm these “conversion therapies” inflict on people. However, conversion therapy is perfectly legal in lots of countries around the world. Even in the United Kingdom, conversion therapy is legal and each time a government pledges to outlaw it, they backtrack or add in disgusting loopholes. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn why should conversion therapy be illegal, what harm does conversion therapy cause and so many more fascinating (if not heartbreaking) facts. If you enjoy learning about LGBT+ psychology, mental health and psychotherapy then this will be a brilliant episode for you. In the psychology news section, you'll learn how early menopause leaves many out of sync with themselves and their imagined future, new study explores why brains lose their flexibility in psychiatric conditions, and how a podcast sets up those with visible differences for smoother dating.

    What Is Dyscalculia? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Main content starts at 26:40. The final learning difficulty I want to examine in my investigation is Dyscalculia. This was the final type of learning difficulty that I could have been assessed for in my Specific Learning Difficulty Assessment in December 2024 and I am not too familiar with the condition. Yet I know it impacts a lot of people, it is sometimes called “maths anxiety” and where dyslexia focuses on reading difficulties, Dyscalculia is all about number difficulties. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what is Dyscalculia, what are the symptoms of the condition, how is Dyscalculia treated and so much more. If you enjoy learning about clinical psychology, cognitive psychology and applied psychology, then you’re in for a treat.
