As a teaching assistant at a special educational needs school and my job is mainly to oversee the treatment and management of a Type 1 Diabetic child, I can see the massive negative impact that chronic illness has on children, their families and their social life. As well as I am a massive supporter of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory that proposes what happens to a child in different microsystems (like family, school and friendships) are all interconnected and impact a child's learning and development. Equally, in my experience as a teaching assistant, a chronic illness diagnosis is immensely stressful for parents, it puts a strain on family relationships and it can even cause anger in the parent child relationship. Especially, when a chronically ill child wishes their parents never took them to the hospital to get diagnosed. That is something I see a lot in my work. Therefore, in this clinical psychology and health psychology podcast episode, you'll learn how to help families support children with chronic illness, why chronic illness is hard on families and how parents can look after themselves during this immensely stressful time.

We know from social and cultural psychology that our attitudes and opinions towards different topics are largely informed by the world we live in.

Yet people are still becoming more interested in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and it is only going to become more popular over time. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn how does ketamine assisted psychotherapy work all over the world, should you try ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and a whole bunch of other great topics.

At the time of writing, it's suicide awareness month, and typically whenever we think about suicide, we only think about the signs and symptoms that a person is suicidal.

Whether you're an aspiring psychologist, psychology student or loved one of a teenager, this podcast episode will be immensely useful to you. Since my audience is mainly psychology students and aspiring and qualified psychologists, I want to mention that depending on the mental health service you work in, there is a chance you'll encounter a survivor of sexual violence. As well as I've already mentioned on the podcast before unfortunately how common sexual assault is for men and women. Yet unfortunately teenagers can be subjected to sexual assault too, and this presents us with an issue becausesome of the advice about how to help adult survivors doesn't work for teenagers. As well as because teenagers are still children and as parents or friends or loved ones, we want to protect them at all costs, we aren't always sure how to help them. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn a range of tips on how to help a teenage sexual assault survivor.

As I near the end of my Clinical Psychology MSc and look towards the future of working in mental health, I am increasingly being concerned, disillusioned and unsure about any sort of future employment. Not because I am a bad candidate, a bad student or someone who doesn't care about psychology. I seriously love and care about clinical psychology. Yet there are massive barriers and silly experience requirements baked into clinical psychology that mean the less privileged are less likely to be able to work in mental health than their richer peers. Therefore, in this careers in psychology podcast episode, you'll learn about why am I disillusioned with clinical psychology, how my inability to take unpaid work has limited my career options and how am I dealing with the impracticality of working in clinical psychology.

The majority of listeners of The Psychology World Podcast are between 40 and 50 years old and from conversations I've had with listeners, a lot of them have children or younger family members. As a parent, they want to protect, love and make sure their child is okay and happy whatever their age.

Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn about the phrases adult children might use to subtly communicate or hint that there is something wrong and they're hurting and suffering. These phrases offer us a chance to explore and help them open up so we can discover why our adult child is suffering and most importantly, how to help them. By the end of this psychology podcast episode, you'll understand how to tell if your adult child is hurting by listening to them, how to help an adult child and more.

One of the biggest criticisms against transgender individuals that I hear is that “science” says there are only two genders and a lot of transphobic people rely on “science” to back up their transphobic views. However, the reality is that science clearly shows us that there are more than two genders and there are big differences between sex, gender and gender identity. These are important distinctions to make because as aspiring and qualified psychologists, we are scientists first and foremost. Therefore, the way that we operationalise these terms is important in our clinical work and research. As a result, in this social psychology podcast episode, you'll learn how do scientists operationalise sex, gender and gender identity. You'll learn what is sex, gender and gender identity and most importantly, why science says there are more than two genders.

To kick off Pride Season 2025 on The Psychology World Podcast, I wanted to look at why we celebrate Pride Month. Since thankfully in June a lot of cities, communities and companies come together to celebrate Pride Month. They put up flags and companies change their logos to represent all the different genders, sexualities and the diversity of the human experience. Also, the LGBT+ community and their allies come together to party, celebrate and have a good time. Yet some people might argue that this is all pointless because they might believe that the LGBT+ community has equal rights, they don't need a month to celebrate it and it doesn't need to be shoved down their throats. However, the reality is that there are still a lot of rights, even within liberal countries that LGBT+ individuals do not have access to and the discrimination, hate crimes and intolerance that LGBT+ people face every day still exist. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you'll learn why do we celebrate Pride Month, why Pride Month isn't about pointless parties and why Pride Month is about protesting for equal rights. If you enjoy learning about LGBT+ psychology, the psychology of discrimination and social activism then this will be a perfect episode for you.LISTEN NOW!If you want to support the podcast, please check out:FREE AND EXCLUSIVE 8 PSYCHOLOGY BOOK BOXSET- https://www.subscribepage.io/psychologyboxsetSocial Psychology: A Guide To Social and Cultural Psychology- https://www.connorwhiteley.net/socioculturalpsychology Available from all major eBook retailers and you can order the paperback and hardback copies from Amazon, your local bookstore and local library, if you request it.

I don't think anyone can go through their psychology journeywithout encountering any myths about psychology. A few years ago at a gender reveal party, I was talking to my brother's dad (we have different ones) and he explained how he needed to see a psychologist because of an injury before he could go to work. Yet when he was younger and even now, he wouldn't do it because everyone back then knew psychologists only saw “crazy” people. After I explained the types of people who psychologists actually helped, he was more relaxed about going. This is just one out of the millions of myths that psychology and psychologists face every day. Therefore, in this clinical psychology podcast episode, you'll learn about the “crazy people” myth about psychology, who psychologists help and more about clinical psychology in the real world. If you enjoy learning about psychology myths, careers in psychology and mental health then this is a great episode for you.In the psychology news section, you'll learn about how insecurity increases the liking gap, how stress-based insomnia spreads to partners, and how much misconduct should there be in research.
