THE PSYCHOLOGY WORLD PODCAST

Ever since I was born, I have always had a stutter (or stammer if we’re using UK English). This meant when I was a child, I hadhorrific difficulties with speech, forming sentences and I really struggled talking in general. Thankfully, as I’ve gotten older and more comfortable in myself and different situations, I have largely removed my stutter, but this week was a painful reminder at how badly I stutter in new situations. In fact, the other week in a job interview because I was stuttering, the interviewer actually asked me point-blank something along the lines of this role will involve talking to over 200 people in a hall, is that something you can do? I had to literally tell them whilst my interview performance wasn’t showing it, I was fine talking to massive groups of people and delivering large presentations when I was at university. I didn’t get the job and I strongly believe it was clearly because of my stutter and how they treated me as if I was stupid because of it. This reflects the sheer number of myths and misconceptions about stuttering. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn what is stuttering, what causes it and how is stuttering treated. As well as what are the myths and misconceptions about stuttering and how can we support people who stutter. If you enjoy learning about speech difficulties, clinical psychology and mental health, then this will be a great episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how being turned on makes everyone seem a little more into you, how non-binary hints in application increase hiring discrimination, and filling a social void with AI leads to further loneliness.

Across all of society, artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots are becoming more common and they’ve seeped into all aspects of our daily lives. From internet searches to education to our workplace, artificial intelligence is everywhere. However, there is a debate currently going on about whether artificial intelligence should become a part of the clinical psychology doctorate training. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, I’ll reflect on my experience, my thoughts and I’ll propose what this debate means for our great profession.

If you’ve been a long-time listener of The Psychology World Podcast then you might be well aware that I flat out love anime and manga. Especially, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Go For It, Nakamura and Stranger by the Shore. Those are some amazing animes from Japan. For a while, and more to support my obsession or autistic special interest in them, I’ve been wondering about the clinical psychology or possible mental health implications, because in my experience autistic individuals and other nerdy people tend to be drawn to these niche interests. Of course, there is barely any research on the topic but I managed to find a fascinating study from Hajek and Konig (2024) that explores the relationship between interest in anime and manga and mental health, social connectedness and more. Therefore, by the end of this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll understand more about anime and manga, how interest in these forms of Japanese entertainment relate to mental health and other wellbeing outcomes and I’ll discuss possible implications for aspiring and qualified clinical and educational psychologists too. If you enjoy learning about social psychology, popular culture and mental health, then this will be a great episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn about the neurodegenerative prevention benefits of even light exercise, the silent noise that gives you the creeps and how high conflict divorce harms long-term health.

This week I have an online job interview for the role of an education mental health practitioner, and as part of my interview preparation I want to make sure that I have a good understanding of what the job is, what an education mental health practitioner is expected to do and more. Also, it helps that because of my neurodivergence, creating a podcast episode on the topic is a very helpful way to make me focus. Therefore, by the end of this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll understand what is an education mental health practitioner, what skills and experiences the role requires and so much more, including how to phrase this information in a job interview. Since I’m sure that I’ll be tested on my understanding of the role in my interview. This is somewhere that I normally fail on so I want to change that. If you enjoy learning about careers in psychology, working in education and applying psychology to improve lives, then this will be a great episode for you.

There are some nights when I’m lying on my soft, warm bedsheets and my bedroom is perfectly dark and silent, but I cannot sleep. I worry how a lack of sleep will impact me the next day, and there are always other things weighing on my mind. I’m hardly the only person who experiences these challenges. We often get ourselves in anxious cycles of being stressed and worried about things outside of our sleep that negatively impact it, then because we’re worrying and anxious and can’t sleep, we start to worry about our sleep. This becomes a vicious cycle that causes further problems to our sleep patterns. This is even truer for students who tend to be stressed and anxious about assignments, readings and other university work. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn why does anxiety and rumination disrupt sleep, what is the cognitive model of insomnia and more great information on the psychology of insomnia. If you enjoy learning about anxiety, sleeping problems and more, then this will be a great episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn how the autism sex bias falls as age at diagnosis rises, how video therapy session perform similarly to face-to-face ones, and how new study unifies localist and globalist theories of intelligence.
