Speaking of Psychology

Trump and trumpers disgust me. The deliberate cultivation of crassness, excess, greed and ignorance and trying to make that the national identity which is what he’s trying to do disgusts me

I really enjoyed this podcast and listening to this gentleman. He is obviously long in his career and life experiences. I did have difficulty with the mention of only 1% of people who have gender affirming procedures have regret while the percentage of people who have nose jobs (specific number was not mentioned) have a higher percentage of regret… there was no mention of the age of the gender affirming recipients (minors being drastically higher) for the comparison or to the number of those procedures versus nose jobs, which, of course, would be substantially higher. I have absolutely no issue with either procedure as long as the person is an adult and my only issue was with the data mention.

The topics and researchers this podcast explores are very interesting and intriguing, but the host is very evidently biased more left leaning. This takes away some of the podcasts credibility as almost half the questions are generally asked in a way to elicit a certain answer. This is disappointing when the show is a part of APA and I was hoping for more objective, fact-based, unbiased interviewing.

I listened to this session and found in total waste of time. From the beginning I guessed that the intention is political and at the end she asked what politicians can do to reduce the effect of heat on mental healt! Thru the conversations you learn that heat doesn’t directly cause mental health issues. Socio-economic and other distress factors may reduce your tolerance to any discomfort nclusion heat. Your brain guides you to remove yourself from harmful environment. Anger isn’t caused by the heat, it’s caused by people that force you to work or live in such environment!! Higher visit to ER in the summer can be due to dehydration and the fact people join more outdoor activities. I had a bike accident in a summer. Irrelevant to heat. Stop misinforming people. We have Media for that.
