Amazing Dive into Psychology

This podcast is amazing. Whether you've been to therapy before or have never gone, this podcast explores core characteristics of psychology that we are all faced with. Each episode is broken down into digestible information that you can learn to apply to your life, your relationships, and your approach to life. I like listening to episodes twice to allow myself time to process the information, then learn to implement it. Highly recommend if you are in a growth mindset.
