Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people, who have an interest in Mental Health and Wellbeing, about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 30 minutes. I was delighted to talk with Professor Ferdinand von Prondzynski about his long career in the academic world which is very interesting and impressive.  He has led a few of the most innovative Universities in Ireland, England and Scotland, managing their growth and change.  He is probably best known in Ireland for having been the President of DCU during its early growth phase. However, I found his current new career path, post the normal retirement age, to be the most fascinating and you’ll have to listen to hear what Ferdinand did next and why it matters to him, and indeed, a lot of other people too. Ferdinand is an engaging speaker and talks about the roles he had, but also talks about the people he met and some of the situations he encountered.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Nicole Runyon, she is a Parent Coach, Keynote Speaker and a Psychotherapist. Nicole has a very interesting take on Technology and Child Development.  In her work she noticed that psychotherapy was not very effective on her young clients, and this set her thinking, she realized that it was the landscape and culture that they live in.  She was particularly concerned about the effect of Technology and social media on children because of peer pressure, bullying and exclusion and other negative effects on their mental health. Nicole turned her attention to the Parents and how they are parenting their children in the age of abundant and accessible technology.  She does this under the umbrella of Parent Coaching and she helps them develop tools to better raise their children.  Nicole says that children around the age of 12 and up, are developing their own self identity and need to go through periods of discomfort as they develop their personalities.  Nicole noted that that parents need to let their children know that they should expect in some situations that they will feel uncomfortable and that they can work through it. Nicole says that Parents often need to work though their own discomforts firstly to enable their child to grow and to be themselves. Nicole struck me as emphatic, pragmatic and a very clear communicator and it was a pleasure to talk to her and learn how she helps parents and their children. Finally, Nicole picks a classic pop song for us to playout with.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. We are talking with Dr Madhav Bhargav who completed his PhD Research into the Mental Health of young people and particularly University Students. Madhav relates a very funny story about how he learned about Trinity college Dublin and why he applied to go there. When he got to Trinity he became involved in the Graduate Students Union and was elected as the VIce President. He was the first sabbatical officer from outside the EU and North America, which tells you something about his appetite for new challenges. In his PhD, he focused on how young people / college student’s mental health is impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). He goes into detail as to how the research was conducted and how Quantitative Psychology and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) can be useful in understanding mental health problems in young people. Currently Madhav is a post-doctoral researcher at National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF). His research as a postdoc focuses broadly on the implications of suicide and self-harm related behaviour on public health and psychological well-being. He is also a Visiting Lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. Madhav can be contacted via LinkedIn or via his website: https://madhavbhargav9.wixsite.com/madhav  https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhavbhargav/ Finally, Madhav lets us know how he relaxes by reading, running and by being a “Coffee Nerd”. He plays out with a great song – a modern classic.  Enjoy.   The podcast is sponsored by Myndgard – we work with Therapy Clinics and their Clients to reach better outcomes in a faster, more insightful, secure, and trusted process using our Myndgard App and Cloud system. In particular Myndgard  manages Wait List Triage for Clinics.  We do this by building a useful Mental and Emotional model before the Client enters therapy, so reducing the Therapists workload.  We can identify Clients who need earlier intervention and help identify at risk clients while they are waiting. We also provide a Post Therapy relapse identification service, as earlier intervention brings a better outcome for the Client and the Clinic.

This episode we talk to Dr Elena Herrera, who is a psychologist in San Jose, California.  Elena’s is based in Silicon Valley and her practice brings her many Techies, Engineers, and Programmers.  Typically, these people are working in highly stressful and highly paid jobs.  In some cases, these Clients may be on the neurodiverse spectrum.  These pressures and the types of personalities involved, mean that stress issues can manifest as relationship issues at home.  This is a big part of Elena’s work, and she talks through how she recognizes these patterns and how she helps Clients reduce their stress levels and maintain their family relationships. Thank you, Elena, for a very interesting and insightful commentary on how stress affects people in their modern lives and how you help them manage it.

Dale talks about how the NFP helps SMEs to change and make a 4 Day week work for them. Finally, we talk about Dale's experiences in running Marathons and how it initially was a bad experience but ultimately he had a positive experience this year, completing the Marathon.  We end up with a very relevant play out song that Dale enjoys.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the psychotherapy field about their careers, their work and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Dr Colman Noctor, well known Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Lecturer and Columnist.  He talks about his new Book “The 4-7 Zone” which asks us to look at why we need to be at either extreme.  Colman points out that being comfortable with the middle is the healthiest and best outlook in many situations. We talk about the impact of Social Media but Colman also says that Parental pressure is a big factor, we discuss ways that this might be countered.  Colman says that the most powerful idea we can use is “Cop On” or Emotional Intelligence. There are six things we should examine in ourselves including Biology, Psychology and Socialising.  The book gives us techniques and case studies to help us, literally, re-centre our outlook and self worth. We talk about whether there is space in Sports for casual and fun adolescent participation rather than escalating competition. We finish by talking about music and I found out that Colman plays an instrument and how he remakes “dance” songs in his own style. And finally Colman plays out on a classic song. http://colmannoctor.com/   --- The podcast is sponsored by Myndgard – we are bringing Artificial Intelligence behaviour monitoring to help Therapists and their Clients with solutions that focus on Pre-Therapy, In-Therapy and Post Therapy support.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the therapy field about their careers, their work and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Dr Laurence Shapiro, President, of Between Sessions who is based in Miami. Laurence talks about his journey from being a Child Psychologist to developing his ideas of making games and Psychological Workbooks available to Therapists for them to work with Clients; literally, between sessions. The materials are all evidence based but also practical and they are highly focused on the specific areas that the Client requires help on.  They encourage the Client to develop their own agency to address their needs. To end the Podcast, we talk about music and we play out on one of Lawrence’s favourite songs.  Lawrence is an enjoyable guest, and he talks about his work clearly and with passion, I certainly enjoyed talking with him.
