Dive into Episode #170 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Dr. Kalim Wigfall, a veteran of the U. S. Coast Guard and behavioral health expert, who is the founder of the American Board for First Responder Behavioral Health. Psychosocial hazards may be perceived or experienced differently by individuals, but they originate in fully controllable organizational conditions: workload design, leadership behavior, communication patterns, staffing models, operational tempo, and cultural norms. These are system variables, not personal traits. System variables require system controls. The goal of FRBH is to establish national standards for first responder behavioral health systems and to establish a system to accredit organizations to address the behavioral, emotional, and mental health of their members.

In this Dear Dyslexic podcast episode, Shae speaks with consultant and leader Ben Walkenhorst about psychosocial hazards and how to create psychologically safe workplaces, especially for neurodivergent people. Ben shares his background (20+ years' experience across sectors and leading teams up to 200) and his lived experience of dyslexia, including an auditory component and visual stress helped by Irlen lenses, which he says transformed his learning outcomes. He explains psychological safety as an environment where people can speak up without judgment or retaliation, and outlines three key factors: great leadership, job design/job demands, and environmental factors. Ben gives examples from remote work and local government process redesign, discusses clear role expectations, supportive feedback practices, reasonable adjustments, and why training and new legislation make this work essential.00:00 Welcome to Dear Dyslexic00:34 Meet Ben Walkenhorst04:15 Ben's Dyslexia Story07:40 Irlen Lenses and What Works09:25 Personal Strategies and Self Awareness12:04 Psychological Safety Explained16:25 Job Design and Workload23:12 Environmental Adjustments That Help26:21 Neurodivergence Trip Hazards at Work36:52 Feedback Without Triggers43:46 Why Leader Training Matters46:30 Business Case and Legal Duties48:41 Wrap Up and Next Steps

Ryan and Mike take on four of the loudest myths in Facebook ADHD parenting groups: pharmacogenetic ("cheek swab") testing for medication selection, the idea that every ADHD child needs one-to-one talk therapy, the "everything is sensory" framing, and rejection sensitive dysphoria as a discrete diagnosis. For each one, they walk through what the actual research and clinical practice guidelines support — and what they don't.Find Mike @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.grownowadhd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Ryan @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.adhddude.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:02:13] Myth 1: Genetic Panel Testing for ADHD Meds[00:04:25] Myth 2: Every ADHD Kid Needs Therapy[00:10:36] Myth 3: Everything Is Sensory[00:13:00] Myth 4: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria[00:16:25] Closing: Research Over PopularityCITATIONS:American Academy of Pediatrics.

In this episode we're going to discuss a topic that's increasingly recognized as central to cognitive health and social connection. We'll define what it is and what happens when it's missing. Social isolation and loneliness are now widely discussed as public health concerns, and evidence has really mounted that social disconnection has profound effects on health, including cognitive decline and dementia risk. To help us think through this, we're joined by Dr. Ashwin Kotwal, a geriatrician and health services researcher at UCSF and the director of the Social Connections and Aging Lab. His work examines how social relationships shape aging related outcomes, including cognitive health, disability, and mortality.

Bron is joined by Amy Henderson (Organisational Psychologist) to unpack psychosocial hazards in the workplace and what early-career mental health workers need to know about recognising and responding to them. They chat about:

Psychosocial hazards are now recognised as one of the most significant and complex risks facing modern workplaces, but what do they actually look like in practice, and how can organisations address them in meaningful, effective ways? In this webinar, we unpack real-world case studies and discuss how factors such as workload, role clarity, leadership, culture, and organisational change can affect mental health, wellbeing, and performance at work. We will discuss what good practice really looks like, where organisations commonly get stuck, and how to move beyond a compliance mindset.Dana's biography:Dana Carver is a Principal at the research and evaluation firm, Scarlatti.

Julia shares her experience of moving from Higher Education into a Not-for-Profit, the similarities and the differences between the two industries, and the process she undertook to help improve the organisation's understanding of the critical risks in its operations, including the psychosocial risks, how she involved members of the workforce from all over Australia in the process, and how this helped to support executive decision-making around priorities and resource allocations for risk mitigations.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I share what happened when I found myself in a creative slump and did what I often encourage others to do…just shuffle the cards and follow what shows up. What surfaced were court cards, which led me back to a recent workshop I created on understanding the Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings through the lens of psychosocial development and Jungian Psychoanalysis.This episode offers a glimpse into how I move beyond seeing court cards as simple personality types and instead view them as developmental archetypes that mirror real psychological stages across the lifespan. Drawing from Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, I explore how each court card reflects key human questions like identity, intimacy, contribution, and integration, and how we revisit these stages throughout life rather than moving through them in a linear fashion.I also introduce Jungian concepts of transformation, showing how the court cards can represent the unfolding of awareness - from early insight to full integration. Along the way, I demonstrate practical exercises and tarot spreads that help translate these theories into meaningful self-reflection.In this episode, I explore:How court cards connect to Erikson's psychosocial stages of developmentWhy the Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings reflect evolving life themesHow Jungian transformation stages deepen tarot interpretationWhat court cards reveal about identity, relationships, legacy, and personal integrationSample tarot exercises using the Ten of Swords (reversed) and the High Priestess and the Knight of Swords and Three of Pentacles Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to see the court cards as more than static figures, and instead as living psychological archetypes that mirror growth, change, and the ongoing process of becoming.You're Invited!

En varm mule mot handen eller en katt som spinner i knät. Vi djurägare vet att det är lugnande, men vad händer egentligen under ytan? I detta avsnitt fokuserar vi på oxytocin – kroppens eget "lugn-och-ro-hormon".Vi diskuterar hur djuren kan fungera som en livlina vid panikångest och varför ansvaret för ett annat liv kan vara vägen ut ur en depression.I det här avsnittet får du veta:Kemin bakom bandet: Hur fysisk kontakt med djur sänker blodtryck och dämpar rädsla.Ångestbromsen: Varför djurens närvaro tvingar hjärnan att "grunda" sig i nuet.Mening: Vikten av att känna sig behövd (self-efficacy).Forskning & Källor:Hormonella effekter av djurkontakt: Beetz, A., et al.

Studier där oxytocinet inte höjdes hamnar i byrålådan.Relationen avgör: Det räcker inte med ett djur. Forskning visar att oxytocin-påslaget är starkt kopplat till relationen. Att klappa en okänd, stressad get ger inte samma effekt som att klappa sin egen hund.

Workplace change is accelerating—and so are psychosocial risks. In this episode of Inside IR, Natalie Gaspar and Nerida Jessup explore how rapid organisational change is reshaping industrial relations, safety obligations and regulatory expectations, and what employers can do to better manage psychosocial risk.

Dans cet épisode de Heartbeat of Humanity, le podcast du Mouvement Croix-Rouge Croissant-Rouge dédié à la santé mentale et au soutien psychosocial (SMSPS), nous explorons le contexte de crises et de conflits au Niger et leurs impacts psychosociaux sur les communautés affectées, y compris les personnes déplacées, migrantes et réfugiées. L'épisode met en lumière l'intégration de la SMSPS dans la réponse humanitaire de la Croix-Rouge nigérienne, la collaboration avec ses partenaires et son rôle de chef de file dans la coordination des acteurs à travers le Groupe de travail technique SMSPS. Animé par Ahlem Cheffi, ce podcast propose un regard à la fois stratégique et ancré dans le terrain, rappelant que la santé mentale et le bien-être psychosocial restent des priorités essentielles en situation d'urgence.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Crises, migration, and MHPSS: Coordination and the key role of the Niger Red Cross and its partnersIn this episode of Heartbeat of Humanity, the podcast of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement dedicated to Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), we explore the context of crises and conflicts in Niger and their psychosocial impacts on affected communities, including displaced people, migrants, and refugees. The episode highlights the integration of MHPSS into the humanitarian response of the Niger Red Cross, its collaboration with partners, and its leading role in coordinating actors through the MHPSS Technical Working Group. Hosted by Ahlem Cheffi, this episode offers both a strategic and field-based perspective, underscoring that mental health and psychosocial well-being remain essential priorities in emergency settings.

The conversation explores how humor serves psychological purposes beyond entertainment, often functioning to establish power hierarchies and devalue professional contributions. Through survey data and qualitative interviews, the research demonstrates that passive coping strategies prevent organizations from understanding the true extent of harm. David and Drew argue that the "just joking" defense creates ambiguity that makes harassment difficult to report, particularly when supervisors are the perpetrators, emphasizing that effective psychosocial safety policies must explicitly address humor-based discrimination. Discussion Points:(00:00) Defining psychosocial safety versus psychological safety(03:07) Introduction to workplace humor research in construction(06:44) Research aims and the construction industry gender gap(11:31) Research methodology using surveys and interviews(15:07) Theoretical framework on humor as communication(20:10) Survey findings on sexual harassment experiences(26:24) How humor is weaponized as cover for harassment(35:36) Conclusions on devaluing professional contributions(40:08) Key takeaways and practical implications for organizationsLike and follow, send us your comments and suggestions for future show topics! Quotes:"The harms are real. When we talk about expanding safety into the psychosocial space, however you might feel about that framing and whether safety people are the right people to be managing it, when we're talking about people getting hurt at work, gender based humour is a hazard." - Drew Rae"I think this is the ultimate, you know, safety is not the absence of incident reports. This is clearly something that's happening to 50, 60, 70% of participants in this study and obviously representative of the broader population. If you're getting no insight into this through any of your systems, then you need to go looking." - David Provan"The fact that something's a joke is being used almost like weaponised to mask or shield what's actually going on, we need to just like get totally away from the idea that humour is an excuse. The question isn't, is this a joke or not a joke? Question is, what was the underlying purpose of that joke?" - Drew Rae"If no one's complaining, get worried. We know it's happening. We know that people don't complain. If you're not getting any complaints in your work site, that's not an indication that there's no problem or no harm. That's an indication that people are not feeling safe to complain." - Drew Rae"Jokes are fine, but not these jokes. And I think this paper really helps us understand where we might be able to draw a less fuzzy boundary around what people can and can't joke about in the workplace." - David ProvanResources:Resource Link: https://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/JMENEA.MEENG-7109The Safety of Work PodcastThe Safety of Work on LinkedInFeedback@safetyofwork

As the number of patients and survivors of cancer grows each year, awareness of the disease's emotional toll—including depression, anxiety, and deep existential distress—is increasingly recognized as a critical aspect of cancer care. In response, psychedelic-assisted therapy is gaining attention as a promising alternative to traditional mental health interventions, providing relief for some patients. To shed light on the patient experience with this treatment, CANCER BUZZ spoke with breast cancer survivor Judy Wight; Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC, executive director of Life with Cancer and Patient Experience at Inova Health System; and Manish Agrawal, MD, cofounder and CEO of Sunstone Therapies, about the human side of psychedelic-assisted therapy, promising existing research, and how it can shape the future of psychosocial care. "It's not that I'm a different person. It's more like I'm becoming the person I was meant to be. And all those layers of trauma and sadness...I've been able to shed a lot of that." – Judy Wight "When I started to learn about psychedelic-assisted therapy, read some of the patient accounts, and see some of the research, I said, 'I've got to learn about this. I think that this could be another tool that would be useful for people in this space where we don't have the perfect answer, and we don't have the perfect treatments.'" – Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC "When I give talks around this, I have an iceberg. Above the iceberg I have chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, and underneath the iceberg I have what's called psychosocial, psycho-spiritual, psychological care. And I think true cancer care is treating everything in the iceberg, not just what's above the water." – Manish Agrawal, MD   Guests: Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC  Executive Director, Life with Cancer and Patient Experience Inova Health System Fairfax, VA   Judy Wight Breast Cancer Survivor   Manish Agrawal, MD Cofounder and CEO Sunstone Therapies REKINDLE Investigator   This podcast is sponsored by Reunion Neuroscience.   Resources: The REKINDLE Study ClinicalTrials (NCT07002034) REKINDLE Brochure Reunion Neuroscience Adjustment Disorder Associated With Medical Illness: Unmet Needs and Rationale for RE104 as a Novel Psychedelic Therapy Exploring Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy in Oncology Addressing the Psychological Burdens of Cancer on World Mental Health Day Psychosocial Care in Oncology: Advocating for Policy Changes that Improve the Culture of Care Collaborative Care: A Model for Embedding Counseling in Oncology and Palliative Care Spirituality and Cultural Humility: Core Components of Comprehensive Palliative Care Psychosocial Care in Oncology Collaborative Care: A Solution for Increasing Access to Psychosocial Care in Cancer Programs and Practices Scan to learn more about the REKINDLE study:  

Clearer laws. Calmer leadership. Fewer second-guesses.Many business owners genuinely want to do right by their people.And yet, when it comes to psychosocial hazard laws, there's a quiet tension sitting underneath everyday leadership decisions.Conversations get delayed. Performance issues get softened. Boundaries blur.Not because business owners don't care — but because they're unsure where the legal line actually sits.This episode speaks to that uncertainty directly, without fear, jargon, or overcorrection.In this conversation, Paula is joined by business lawyer Tracey Mylecharane, founder of TM Legal Atelier, to unpack what psychosocial hazard laws are really about — and what they are not.Rather than framing these laws as restrictive or risky, the discussion centres on clarity.What good leadership already looks like in many growing businesses. Where structure and documentation matter. And why psychological safety does not mean low standards, silence, or avoiding hard conversations.This is a grounded conversation for business owners carrying people responsibility and wanting to lead with both care and confidence — without tying themselves in knots.In this episode, we explore:What psychosocial hazard laws are actually designed to addressThe difference between psychological safety and lowered expectationsWhy avoiding performance conversations can create more risk, not lessThe false sense of security created by “wellness” initiatives aloneHow clarity, structure, and documentation protect everyone involvedWhy many business owners are already doing more than they realiseA note from PaulaThis conversation matters because I see how often capable business owners hold back — not from lack of care, but from uncertainty.If this episode helps you breathe out and re-anchor around what good leadership actually requires, that's the point. Clarity creates steadiness. And steadiness changes how you lead.If you're wanting space to think more clearly about people decisions, leadership boundaries, or the weight you're carrying, that's the kind of work I support through private strategic sessions and in-person leadership days.Connect with TraceyTM Legal AtelierWebsite: https://tmlegalatelier.com.auInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tmlegalatelier/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-mylecharane/Connect with PaulaPaula Maidens is a Hiring & Team Strategist who helps service-based businesses solve people chaos by connecting people decisions to profit outcomes.Website: https://paulamaidens.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulamaidensconsulting/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulamaidens/

OA is no longer just a "wear and tear" condition. It's a complex, multifactorial disease shaped by inflammation, biomechanics, genetics, and lifestyle. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can shift the course, preventing progression and unlocking the body's potential for self-healing. Today's OA care is moving beyond symptom management. Personalised treatment, interdisciplinary support, and patient empowerment through education and lifestyle changes are redefining what's possible. With emerging tools and a fresh clinical mindset, the future of OA management is proactive, hopeful, and tailored to each individual. Topics covered: ·       The complexity of pain, beyond biology ·       The power of validation in patient care ·       Self-healing as a new paradigm for patient's empowerment

"This patient taught me a lot. The context was that I just finished my second training as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and I felt I needed to prove a lot, and I clearly arrived with the wrong agenda. It was that if I was good enough and smart enough, a clever enough just graduated psychodynamic psychotherapist, I would manage to get into why the patient is struggling so much with the realization of his mother's cancer. That is a resistance, he didn't want to touch the topic at all. I thought that if I uncover the underlying reason why the cancer of his mother was so extremely distressing, and be able to explore with him how he's processing this, I would be helping him. I was extremely wrong. The patient was really generous with me. What I meant is he was forgiving. He clearly was tolerating me trying to push for something he really had no appetite for." "Psychoanalysis is not only about clever interpretations. Psychoanalysis can be about the tools to help us feel what we are experiencing. And in those radical settings, you become almost the object you are projected to be and you need a frame of mind to ground you that you are not that and can offer something different. So that is why I thought it was really useful."  Episode Description: We begin with a description of the distinction between supportive and exploratory psychotherapy. Rodrigo presents clinical examples of individuals who were in crises and their capacity to be aware of their inner experiences was not available to them,  hence supporting their defenses was vital. In addition, "being with them" became a key aspect of the therapeutic benefit they gained. We consider patients who are phobic about intimacy and have backgrounds where trusting others proved to be actually dangerous. He also spoke of therapists who unknowingly privilege their own need to feel like an interpretive healer in the face of their patients' more immediate need to be listened to. Rodrigo alerts us to the risks of colluding with patients' binary view of the world and recommends helping them recognize that "the therapist may not always be on their side or share their perspective" - this is the creative challenge of supportive work. We close with his sharing with us his personal journey and his appreciation that psychoanalysis can be meaningful as well in settings 'off the couch'.   Our Guest: Rodrigo Sanchez Escandón Trained as a Clinical Psychologist in Mexico City and completed his Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy training at the Mexican Psychoanalytic Association before moving to London to undertake further psychoanalytic training at the British Psychoanalytic Association (BPA). He is currently the BPA's Director of Curriculum Subcommittee. He is also the Course Lead for Adult Psychotherapies at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, overseeing programmes in London and the North of England. He previously lectured in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at Essex University, where he continues to supervise PhD students and pursue research. For seven years, Rodrigo worked extensively with individuals experiencing homelessness and complex needs, integrating psychoanalytic approaches into multidisciplinary care. He now maintains a private practice in Leeds, alongside his teaching and leadership roles.   Recommended Readings:   Winston, A., Rosenthal, R. N., & Roberts, L. W. (2020).

It's the one we've all been waiting for!The Oedipus Complex; the oral, anal and phallic stages; penis envy; psychoanalysis - we've all heard of Sigmund Freud's work. But who was he?What did Freud really think about sex and sexuality? What was his own sex life like?

Australia is failing more than 130,000 people with significant psychosocial disability – despite spending billions every year on the NDIS. This gap is fuelling a growing problem. People without adequate supports are more likely to experience homelessness, be hospitalized, or have their needs escalate, putting pressure on systems that are already under strain. In this podcast, Sam Bennett, Mia Jessurun, and Reilly Polaschek, discuss the latest Grattan report, Bridging the Gap: Meeting the needs of Australians with psychosocial disability. In the report, they outline a plan to build a fairer and more effective system of psychosocial supports.

Today on Hands On, Hands Off, host Moyo Tillery sits down with Dr. Myra Meekins—PT, educator, and curriculum designer—to rethink how we teach and learn OMPT. From “practice makes perfect” to practice with purpose, Myra connects classic motor-learning models to the OPTIMAL theory (expectancies, autonomy, external focus), and shows why you must address the psychosocial to change the psychomotor.We get concrete about designing sticky learning experiences for DPT students, residents, and fellows; building safe, high-expectation lab cultures; and using feedback, simulations, and competency-based education to translate knowledge to performance. Myra also shares her path from MTI fellowship and WashU's Movement System Impairments work to leading curriculum development for a new DPT program and co-investigating a $1.6M grant bringing PT simulation into high schools.You'll learnWhy clear expectations + psychological safety accelerates skill acquisitionHow to scaffold from competence → refinement → mastery across DPT, residency, and fellowshipPractical ways to make learning “stick” for a class of 100 (and a class of 10)Using low-stakes, frequent formative assessment to steer teaching in real timeDesigning integrated, case-based curricula (and avoiding silo traps)What competency-based education and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) look like in PTMovement as the organizing principle: applying Movement System Impairments to guide exam & interventionWhy educators must adapt to the learner in front of them, not the one they used to be

Dive into Episode #153 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Lawanda Hall, a risk and insurance professional, about the importance of understanding and managing risk of all kinds as a strategy for overall organizational effectiveness and sustainability. While many risk management programs and professionals focus on the risks that affect the organization, they can at times underestimate and under-focus on risks that impact the human beings in the organization. When most people hear the word “risk,” they tend to think of physical hazards like chemicals, flammable materials, slippery floors, faulty wiring, or heavy machinery. Interestingly, some people don't have a fundamental understanding of what risk is. Without this understanding, it is challenging to manage any risk, whether it be physical or psychosocial. Ms. Hall believes that it is essential to focus on all aspects of risk, including those that involve the people in the organization, if for no other reason than the organization can not exist without people.

What is death anxiety?  We spend the first 15 minutes of the podcast addressing this question.  And maybe this was unfair to our guests, the fabulous dynamic duo of palliative psychiatrists Dani Chammas and Keri Brenner (listen to their prior podcasts on therapeutic presence and the angry patient).  After all, we invited them on to our podcast to discuss death anxiety, then Eric and I immediately questioned if death anxiety was the best term for what we want to discuss! Several key points stood out to me from this podcast, your key points may differ: The “anxiety” in “death anxiety” is not a pathological phenomenon or a DSM diagnosis;  it references an existential concern that is fundamental to the human experience .  To me,” awareness of mortality” might be a better term, but in fairness, the idea of “death anxiety” was coined well before the formal establishment of “anxiety disorders.” The ways in which death anxiety manifests in our patient's choices and behaviors varies tremendously, and our responses as clinicians must be individualized. There is no “one size fits all” approach. In one example Dani discusses, a pain level of 1.5/10 might be overwhelming, because for a patient  in remission from cancer any pain might signal return of cancer.  Some manifestations of death anxiety can be debilitating, others lead to tremendous personal growth, connection to others, and a drive toward finding meaning in their illness experience.   Death anxiety impacts us as clinicians, not only through countertransference, that word that I still can't define (sorry Dani and Keri!), but also through our own unexamined fears about death. As clinicians who regularly care for people who are dying, we might find ourselves becoming “used to” death. Is this a sign that we are inured to the banality of death, and less able to empathize with the death anxiety experienced by our patients or their families? Or could it reflect our acceptance of the finitude of life, prompting us to live in the present moment? Perhaps it is something else entirely. The key is that looking inwards to understanding our own unique relationship with mortality can deepen our ability to authentically accompany the experiences of our patients. I mean, don't fear the reaper, right?  Sorry, no cowbell in my version, but you do get my son Kai, home from college, on guitar for the audio only podcast version.
