THE PSYCHOLOGY WORLD PODCAST ·

2025/05/04

Whenever a client comes into our therapy room or whenever you meet a psychologist, they have certain privileges and disadvantages that you don't have. Also, you’ll both have different life experiences, perspectives and focuses that you will share and you will differ in. This is because every one of us is wonderfully unique with our own thoughts, feelings and lived experiences. Yet as aspiring and qualified psychologists, we need to acknowledge that we have certain social graces or privileges

I don’t think anyone can go through their psychology journeywithout encountering any myths about psychology. A few years ago at a gender reveal party, I was talking to my brother’s dad (we have different ones) and he explained how he needed to see a psychologist because of an injury before he could go to work. Yet when he was younger and even now, he wouldn’t do it because everyone back then knew psychologists only saw “crazy” people. After I explained the types of people who psychologists actually

If you’re a UK listener living in Kent then you might have heard on the radio recently an advert by Kent County Council about the awful and damaging impact consistent arguing and parental conflict can have on child development. After hearing this advert a few times, I wanted to learn more and it’s really interesting how parental conflict negatively impacts a child’s development at no fault of their own. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn how parental conflict damages

Rape and other forms of sexual violence is beyond awful. It is one of the worse, most traumatic and devastating things that can happen to a person. During sexual violence, someonetakes everything away from you, your control, your consent, your ability to do anything at all. You just go into survival mode and the consequences of sexual violence are immense. There isn’t a single area of your life that sexual violence isn’t impacted by.

After something personal happened last night, all I can think about today is trauma and considering this psychology podcast episode is already likely to be late going out, I didn’t want to argue with myself. I just wanted to do an episode on something I was already thinking about because what we experience in our childhood can have a massive impact on our relationships. For example, what we think a healthy relationship and boundaries look like and how we believe the social world works. Therefore, in

2025/03/31

With depression being one of the most common mental health conditions in the world, a lot of a clinical psychologist's workload will be supporting people with depression. A common depression symptom is what’s known as “Leaden Paralysis” and one of the effects of the symptoms is that everyday tasks take a million times more energy to complete. This can make the “simple” task of getting out of bed feel impossible for people with depression. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode,

Whilst statistics might be a psychological topic that lots of aspiring and qualified psychologists dread, learning about psychometrics and psychological measurements is a lot of fun and it is really interesting. We need to understand how to create good psychometric measurements so we can measure the behaviour we intend to and not any other variables. This is even more important for aspiring and qualified clinical psychologists where the quality and accuracy of our psychometric measurements could be

I first became aware of media psychology in 2024 when I kept seeing media psychology training courses being advertised in The Psychologist magazine by the British Psychology Society. I had never heard of media psychology before but I checked out the courses and £100 wasn’t a bad price. In the future, I might take one of the courses so I can deepen my understanding of what is media psychology, what do media psychologists do and the various roles that media psychologists play on production sets

THE PSYCHOLOGY WORLD PODCAST ·

2025/03/03

To celebrate International Women’s Day, I want to focus on the myth in society that feminists are men-hating individuals. I flat out hate it whenever this myth pops up because feminists do not hate men in the slightest and it is often misogynistic men using the idea of misandry as a just cause to threaten and insult women that pelt this myth. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what is feminism, why feminists do not hate men and why sexist men push this awful and

Last week at the time of writing, I was seriously ill for two main reasons. Firstly, I was really exhausted and ill because of malnourishment caused by my anorexia. Thankfully, I’m managing to get a handle on it and I’m finally starting to eat a little more. Secondly, I was really sick because I was my sleep schedule was so awful and inconsistent that my lack of eating and lack of sleep was causing me to get very ill.

OCD is unfortunately the type of mental health conditionthat laypeople abuse to some extent, as OCD is often used in a loose, cut-off-the-cuff way that decreases the severity of the condition in people’s minds. Yet OCD can be immensely distressing to the person with the condition as those around them. At the moment, I live with someone with OCD and before we started an intervention, their OCD was negatively impacting our lives in a number of ways. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast

Normally as an aspiring clinical psychologist, I don't really focus too much on how our biological processes and the nervous system impacts our mental health. I should focus on this area a lot more than I do because our physical reactions to trauma, anxiety and depression are very important. Instead I tend to focus on the psychological processes that interact with our physical processes to produce behaviours. Yet as I deal with my sexual trauma more and more, I'verealised I can no longer

Dyspraxia is the last diagnosis that I received recently and it explains so much about my life, my “clumsiness” and a wide range of struggles in my life. Struggles that I was bullied for, judged and mocked for as a child and teenager. Yet even though I’ve done a little research into the condition before I got diagnosed, I don’t understand Dyspraxia at a deep level.

I was assessed for all of them because I went through my university to get a dyslexia diagnosis and instead I had a Specific Learning Difficulties assessment that allowed me to be assessed for all of them.
