    Polygraphs and Sex Offenders: How it works

    Polygraphs and Sex Offenders: How it works

    This podcast describes my experience with polygraphs and sex offenders while working as a Sex Offender Therapist for the Department of Corrections. I was fortunate to work with 2 polygraph examiners who were a wealth of knowledge, professionalism and excellence; one was a young woman with her own polygraph business and the other was a retired FBI agent.

    This is break down of how the polygraphs worked for the sex offenders where I was employed. I hope you find this content interesting.

    Thank you for your time and support!

Incredibly honest podcast

Great podcast!

Stumbled upon her podcast and was glued. Fascinating topics but why no more shows??? Please share more with us. Thanks!

Promising idea, poor execution

I very much want this podcast to come back, as I love the concept. However, the host needs some work. All is not lost on her, however, if she changes some approaches in her presentation of the material. The host rambles somewhat, and interjects personal thoughts while telling the story which is very distracting. If she wrote a script first, and stuck to it, I would totally listen.

On one episode she made fun of an accent and word choice by a person from the south. I found this alarming as she purports to be a licensed therapist. A therapist’s goal is to create trust, avoid bias and keep their worldview balanced. I understand this is her show and she can say whatever she wants. Her Chicago accent and her own regional colloquialisms made me scream after I heard her remark.

Host, take stock in your own presentation and communication skills. You can do better. In other words, Physician, heal thyself!
