What Is Attachment-Based Therapy? A Clinical...

THE PSYCHOLOGY WORLD PODCAST ·

2024/09/10

One of my favourite topics in psychology actually comes from developmental psychology because I love learning about attachment and attachment styles. Since our attachment styles are critical to our mental health, the relationships we form and attachment impacts so many aspects of our lives. Therefore, some people need therapy to help readjust their attachment styles and help them so they can have healthier relationships and improve their lives. That’s why in this clinical psychology podcast episode,

As aspiring and qualified psychologists and people interested in psychology, we read, listen and learn a lot of content about different mental health conditions. Yet as great as academic content is for helping us understanding a mental health condition, depression and anxiety, it is only lived experience that can possibly help us to truly understand what a condition is like for a client or service user. You can read as many academic papers on depression as you want but until you talk or listen to

As someone who’s experienced a range of trauma over their life, I’m always interested in learning about the different ways how trauma affects someone. Normally, I focus on the mental health implications, like panic attacks, social anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m experiencing all of these symptoms at the time of writing but trauma doesn’t only affect us psychologically. Trauma can have profound physical consequences too. Therefore, this podcast episode merges clinical psychology and

2024/08/05

In recognition of how common trauma is in society and in an effort to help address its devastating consequences on people’s mental health, clinical psychology has shifted towards becoming more trauma-informed. In the UK at least, it is an area of interest that candidates are being asked about more often during their doctorate interviews. Therefore, if you want to work in clinical psychology and if you’re an aspiring clinical psychologist then trauma-informed approaches are a critical area to

For the vast majority of people, giving birth is a beautiful, wonderful and amazing experience that means they get to bring new life into the world. Yet for a lot of women, giving birth can be a very traumatic, hard and awful time in their life because childbirth can be overwhelming. As well as mothers can find it overwhelming to immediately transition from childbirth to the early stages of becoming a mother, meaning there is no time for the new mother to recover physically and emotionally after

Whether you’re a parent yourself, you know a child or you’re a child therapist then there are certain things you just need to know about child therapy. These facts can help child therapy be more successful, “easier” and it can improve the life of the child in the long term. I remember talking to a doctor once who worked with teenagers with eating disorders and she mentioned how the parents were the actual problem and main barrier to treatment. And if parents just knew a few more things then maybe

2024/06/27

As a result of homophobia, transphobia and minority stress amongst other factors, there is a higher rate of mental health difficulties and conditions in the LGBT+ community compared to the general population. Also, LGBT+ individuals are more likely to be hate crimed and experience trauma in their lifetime so the need for psychological support and therapy is high. However, straight therapists often worry about whether they should work with a gay client or not because of the differences between them

The vast majority of people have heard of Post-TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD) before when it comes to veterans and soldiers. Also, we know this mental health condition involves flashbacks, intrusive memories and panic attacks, but beyond that a lot of laypeople don’t know that much about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m only starting to learn more about PTSD because I have it because of my sexual assault, so whilst I don’t talk about it in this episode, my own experiences make this important to

With the university year ending and many students returning home for the summer to see their families, catch up with old friends and live in cheaper (or even free) accommodation, this is a time of year that is both great and difficult for LGBT+ people. If you or your client are closeted or if your family is homophobic then returning home can be difficult and decreases your mental health. This isn’t good.

Continuing our celebration of Pride Month here on the podcast, I want to look at the benefits of gender-affirming care on transgender youth. Since gender-affirming care saves lives, it improves mental health and it decreases gender dysphoria and the associated negative mental health outcomes. However, one debate that is raging across the world is whether underage transgender youth should be allowed to undergo gender-affirming care if they’re going through a mental health crisis.

2024/06/10

When it comes to working with autistic individuals so we can support them, decrease their psychological distress and improve their lives, their perceptions are critical. Since we can have all the knowledge in the world but if our clients don’t think that the space supports them or if our therapy space distresses them, then this will hurt the therapeutic alliance. In turn, this will increase the chance of the therapy not being successful, so this is why creating a neurodiversity-affirming space is so
