In this episode, Penny Lewis, a clinical psychologist, interviews her husband, Dr George Blair-West, a psychiatrist, on his presentation at RANZCP 2024 Congress about Unconscious Lateral Intelligence (ULI). Our minds have an amazing capacity to solve the most challenging problems while not consciously thinking about it and being engaged in something totally unrelated. It can even do this while we sleep. Dr Blair-West outlines his research into how some of history's greatest minds have creatively solved problems, that have led to Nobel prizes, blockbuster movies and the most covered song of all time. He will explain how ULI works and how you can improve your access to, and make the most of, the most powerful part of your mind. Dr George Blair-West is an author and psychiatrist. He discusses the subject of his upcoming, sixth book on a subject he started researching and talking on 25 years ago. His books, and two TED talks, reflect his interest in existentialism, couple work and trauma therapy. His most recent book, ‘The Girl in the Green Dress' documents a legal first in Australia where Dissociative Identity Disorder became the basis for the prosecution rather than the defence. Penny Lewis is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Brisbane Topic suggestion:If you have a topic suggestion or would like to participate in a future episode of Psych Matters, we'd love to hear from you.Please contact us by email at: psychmatters.feedback@ranzcp.orgDisclaimer:This podcast is provided to you for information purposes only and to provide a broad public understanding of various mental health topics.

From a very early age you were likely told not to lie. Lying is bad. And it seems that one of the things it is bad for is your health! This episode begins by explaining how lying affects your health – and not in a good way. https://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships The idea of marrying someone for love is a relatively recent concept when you look back through human history. Today, it is often the primary reason for marriage. Yet if you look at the divorce statistics, love may not be the magic ingredient to long term relationships. While we are not likely to go back to arranged marriages, there may be something we can learn from them, says psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he explains what really works in keeping a relationship together – and it isn't romantic love. The human mind works in odd ways. For one thing, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities. We often think other people are having more fun than we are. We also tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the letters in your name or the numbers in your birthday! Here to explain all this is David G. Myers. He is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at Hope College and author of a book How Do We Know Ourselves?: Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3fqyP1Z). Every good cook knows you should NEVER wash or rinse mushrooms, you should brush them. That is because mudrooms soak up water like a sponge and that ruins them. But what if that isn't really true?

Marrying for love is a relatively recent phenomenon for humanity, and we still don't fully understand what it means for building successful relationships, says author and psychiatrist George Blair-West. Drawing from his extensive experience working with couples, he shares four questions every couple should ask themselves before tying the knot — and highlights surprising findings on how the way marriage starts impacts if it ends.

Your mother probably told you not to lie – and she was right. Of course, there are the moral reasons for not lying but it seems lying is also bad for your health. This episode begins with the reasons why. http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships For most of human history, people married NOT for love. It is only recently that this idea of committing to someone because you fall in love came about and a lot of times it doesn't work very well. While it is unlikely that we will ever go back to arranged marriages, there are some things we can learn from them according to psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he reveals what really matters in keeping a relationship together for a long time. When you study the human mind, it is easy to come to the conclusion that it works in odd and curious ways. For example, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities a lot of the time. We often think everyone else is having more fun than we are. And we tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the numbers in your birthday! Listen as I discuss this with my guest David G. Myers. He is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at Hope College and author of a book How Do We Know Ourselves?: Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3fqyP1Z). In just about every recipe that uses mushrooms, it tells you to brush (not wash) them before you eat them. The theory is that if you wash them, they will soak up water like a sponge and not taste right. Is that true? Listen as I explain.

Wow, what a crazy week of controversy Ashy has been through. From being mum shamed and abused online to rightfully being supported for continuing to stand up against trolls and speak up for mums everywhere. This week we revisit our biggest lessons from the incredible podcast with Dr. George Blair-West. Yet another episode where both of us had life-changing insights from our guests and we can't wait to unpack them with you.

How dare they… But seriously… Mums can love their children AND love going to work. They can love their children AND love spending time with friends.

Dr. George Blair-West is a best-selling author, psychiatrist, and relationship therapist who has been passionately focused on unlocking the keys to healthy relationships for over 30 years. Interestingly, I first learned about George when I was CEO of Obesity Prevention Australia, and his book ‘Weight Loss for Food Lovers' really was ahead of its time in regards to restraint theory, self-sabotage within weight loss, and intuitive eating. It really focused on enjoying your food more often, which is aligned in so many ways with what Ashy and I teach clients. We're very lucky to have him on the podcast this week to help us unlock the secrets to healthy lasting relationships. __________ TODAY'S GUEST DR GEORGE BLAIR-WEST Web: https://dr.blair-west.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/georgeblairwest __________ TODAY'S SPONSOR THE ASHY BINES SYSTEM An all-in-one solution for time-poor mums and professionals to regain their energy, bounce, and body confidence.
