Customer Reviews
Thumbs Up from a Non-Therapist!
I don’t work in therapy, but I enjoy learning new things. The range of topics has been good for reflecting on my own experiences in therapy and surprisingly useful in managing my professional relationships. For me, listening feels like an overheard conversation between two experts exploring their work.
To the negative reviewer with the 1-star review purely about a podcaster’s voice… Not cool (and unhelpful) as it’s just your personal preference. My take is equally subjective, but I find both their voices to be calming.
Grounding and Validating
As an attachment therapist, it can be hard to stay grounded in what we know when there is often pressure to learn the new cutting edge techniques. This podcasts helps you both feel AND think about IPNB! A perfect place to start if interested in attachment and neurobiology, and a warm place to land if you need to hear from other therapist humans 😊 Thank you both!
Warning
Do not listen if you have misophonia/can’t stand ASMR. One of the hosts is especially terrible. I brought this to their attention long ago, but they refuse to fix their mics/audio.
