    Guide to Carl Jung and Analytical Psychology

    If there was a Mount Rushmore for psychology our Subject today would definitely make the cut. Today we talk about the mythopoetic, esoteric, and eccentric genius that would expound on Freuds theory and create a framework of thought, identifying a collective soul of humanity that would influence us all whether we realize it or not.

    Guide to Warren Jeffs and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS)

    Send us a Text Message.
    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints decided they would move on from the practice of polygamy in the early 20th century. Not all members agreed which caused a fracture where some practitioners wanted to follow more fundamentalists teaching. The FLDS was born and created fertile ground for Warren Jeffs to plant his evil seeds. Join Dave and Greg as they discuss polygamy, Warren Jeffs, and the FLDS as the dangerous cult that it is.

Easy listening, clinically informed, and entertaining show

I love that this podcast takes a more lighthearted stance on topics as well as range of topics than many other therapy/psychology shows; while still maintaining accurate and clinically relevant talking points and explanations. The humor is much appreciated and the dynamic between hosts comes across as natural as possible. My favorite podcast as a counselor in training!

Great for work commute

I gave this podcast a listen last summer, and in its absence today, realized how much this show is now a part of my normal Tuesday routine and commute to work. I often find myself reacting out loud and thinking about some subjects well after the episode is over. I find that I only delay listening if it’s about a book I haven’t read yet (maybe a head’s up the week prior?). Either way, this podcast is well worth a listen; it may become a part of your routine too. Keep up the chipper banter fellas!

Intriguing

Found this podcast searching up psychology to listen to while I’m at work. As a person who is interested in psychology and the psychological aspects of people as a pre psychology student I like the down to earth perspectives and real life aspects of topics.
I am so intrigued and look forward listening to more episodes.
