    What Should Therapists Tell Clients About Their First Therapy Session? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    What Should Therapists Tell Clients About Their First Therapy Session? A Clinical Psychology Podcast Episode.

    When a client comes to a therapist and books a first
    session, the client will be anxious, concerned and they will have a lot of questions. This is perfectly normal but therapists might want to take the time to tell clients a few pieces of information to help them understand what’s going to happen amongst other things. These answers will help the client to relax and not be as stressed about their first therapy session. Something that will hopefully change their lives for the better. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, we’re going to explore the questions clients have for therapists about their first session and how therapists might want to answer these questions. If you enjoy learning about clinical psychology, psychotherapy and mental health, then you’ll like today’s episode for sure.

    In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how to tell a joke to an ape, arguments around p-values, and if there was a time before dementia.

    How Does Categorising Our Relationships Impact Moral Judgements? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode

    Recently, I’ve been focusing a lot more on the psychology
    behind morality and what makes humans do “right” and “wrong” behaviours. A part of our morality is how we divide people up into different categories based on our relationship to them. This is a fascinating area of social psychology that I highly recommend you listen to today because you’ll definitely learn a lot and you’ll be thinking for sure. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll see the four types of different relationships people have, what these relationships involve and most importantly, how do these relationships impact moral dilemmas. If you enjoy learning about social relationships, decision-making and morality then you’ll love today’s episode.

    within clinical psychology about the importance of a trauma-informed approach to mental health care.

This could be the difference between a relationship working or not. If you enjoy learning about relationships, mental health and trauma then you’ll love today’s episode.

    All of us have heard of dog therapy, therapy animals and a
    wide range of different examples of psychotherapy that involve animals.
