    How To Survive A Major Depressive Episode? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    How To Survive A Major Depressive Episode? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    From our clinical psychology lectures, watching the media
    and talking to friends and peers at university or in the workplace, we know that depression is serious and can even be life-threatening. Depression can lead to increases in self-harm, suicidal ideation and it can be crippling. Therefore, it’s important to know how to survive a major depressive episode. Even if you don’t have depression yourself, this is still a useful podcast episode that will give you a lot of useful ideas and unofficial tips and techniques to help someone in the future. And if you are depressed then this episode will give you a lot of ideas to think about for the future. If you enjoy learning about depression, mental health and clinical psychology then this is a great episode for you.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about why we're surprising reluctant to reach out to old friends, why consensual touch can reduce depression and anxiety, and why artificial intelligence with social psychology can help bridge the gap between online rhetoric and behaviour.

    How To Stop Feeling Powerless To Help A Friend Or Loved One? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode.

    How To Stop Feeling Powerless To Help A Friend Or Loved One? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode.

    There comes a point in all our lives when a friend or loved
    one goes through something that hurts them, rattles them or it even traumatises them. When this happens we can feel powerless or helpless to support them because we can see how badly it’s affected them and we have no idea how to support them. Or even worse in my experience, we want to support them even more but we know this can’t happen because it would turn a relationship into something that isn’t healthy. I think for aspiring or qualified mental health professionals, this feeling is even worse. Since we spend our days empowering, supporting and giving our clients hope within our professional boundaries but we can’t help the people we care most about. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, we’re going to learn tips and tricks to help us feel less powerless to help the people we love most. If you’re interested in friendships, supporting our loved ones and social psychology then this is a great episode for you.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about why overly good deals signal hidden costs, why football isn't all about the kick, and the echoes of psychology's past.

If you’re interested in learning about clinical psychology, therapy and psychological interventions then you’re going to enjoy this episode for sure.

    Why An Erection Isn’t Consent? A Clinical Psychology And Forensic Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Why An Erection Isn’t Consent? A Clinical Psychology And Forensic Psychology Podcast Episode.

    Research suggest that men get raped and sexually assaulted as often as women by both men and women. Yet male rape is a lot less reported because of societal factors, gender roles and a whole bunch of horrible myths that stop men from reporting rape and sexual assault. Also, it’s important to note that talking about male rape isn’t about stopping or taking the focus away from female rape, instead it’s actually about highlighting something that isn’t spoken about in society. All rape and sexual assault whether it’s against a man or woman is flat out wrong and it should never happen. Therefore, in this forensic psychology podcast episode, we’ll explore male rape and why an erection isn’t consent. If you like learning about forensic psychology, sexual crimes and why people do this crime then you’ll enjoy today’s episode.

    Note: there are NO graphic details in this episode.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn how breaking boredom can protect your productivity, how to get your teenage to listen to you, and the importance of memories.

    What Are The Pros And Cons Of Friends With Benefits? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode.

I am really interested in learning more about them and understanding who they do and don’t work for. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what are the pros and cons of Friends With Benefits and if you did want to engage in this type of relationship, what are some research-based tips for making it work.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about whether the pandemic changed our personalities, how much of a risk political advocacy actually is to scientific credibility, and some larger comments about how politics impacts psychology and our work.
