Today I am thrilled to be joined by Matt Englar-Carlson who takes us on an introspective journey exploring the roots of his profound resilience as we begin our conversation. With candor, wit and a few laughs, Matt vividly recounts how an itinerant childhood and the grounding example of his marathon-running psychologist father instilled the tenacity to persevere through life's inevitable challenges. Whether sticking it out solo during a harrowing outward bound trip or finding solace in meaningful conversations with fellow runners, Matt's experiences reveal deep truths about healthy masculinity. I'm struck by his wisdom on the gift of loyal friendship during dark times and the healing power of simply showing up for others when they suffer. Matt leaves us with powerful advice - when facing life's difficulties, embrace the struggle, envision the light ahead, and trust that this too shall pass, but not alone.Bio:Dr. Matt Englar-Carlson is Professor of counseling at the California State University at Fullerton.

Storytelling is not just a tool for entertainment; it is a powerful medium for communicating complex ideas in a relatable and impactful manner. In this episode of Beyond the Thesis with Papa PhD, Dr. Leslie Berntsen highlights why leveraging science communication is important, as a PhD, and how embedding your results within personal stories makes science more accessible and engaging to the general public. Adding this human touch to how we talk about science allows us to bridge the gap between the scientific community and non-academic audiences. Dr. Leslie Berntsen is a social scientist, once-and-former college professor, and the current Director of Education and Research at The Story Collider. She specializes in inclusive pedagogy, teaching social issues, and popular science communication and is the recipient of four national teaching awards from the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues over a seven year period. (She tries to remain as chill about this as a person possibly can.) Leslie's writing has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Science, and The Huffington Post, and you can also find the earliest drafts of her forthcoming op-eds on Twitter – which she will stubbornly continue to use until the very last server crashes. Her high school debate team once named her “Most Likely to Color-Code Her Plans to Grassroots Resistance” and she has – with no effort required – been living up to it ever since. What we covered in the interview: The Human Side of Science: Through her work with Story Collider, Leslie aims to highlight the human side of science by tying it to personal experiences and real-life scenarios.Career Development through Storytelling: Leslie sheds light on the value of introspection and self-awareness in developing character and career skills. Whether it is for job interviews, academic presentations, or grant applications, storytelling can be a powerful arrow in a young researcher's quiver.Story Fellows Programs: Story Collider fosters initiatives that encourage university students to use storytelling for public scholarship and science communication. These programs involve workshops where participants craft and present their science-related stories on stage.

What we're talking about: 1:16 What do you need to do to become a psychologist? If you're interested in becoming a psychologist, you need to do quite a bit of study including an undergraduate degree that is accredited by APAC (the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council). So as you're looking at courses, if there's any chance you'd like to become a psychologist later, check that the ones you're looking at are accredited so that you're on the right path. 3:05 What is it that you like about psychology? Are you interested in the anatomy of the brain and the biology related to psychology, or do you look forward more to the topics related to human behaviour and mental illness? While all accredited courses will cover both, make sure the course you end up choosing gives you an opportunity to really focus on the areas of psychology you really like. 4:55 Other options to consider If you like psychology but you know you don't want to become a psychologist, there are other options you can consider. Behavioural science, counselling or marketing are good examples of these. I also mention two courses at Deakin that focus on marketing and human resources respectively from a psychology perspective, and they're also accredited so you can pursue further study in psychology later if you choose (see links below).

Deep Cut pulls from our bonus episode archive to unearth previous ideas that remain relevant today. Survivor shame over what has been lost, and how one has been complicit. Apologist shame: turned inside out and externalized as aggression. Popular shaming, which tries to deflect attention from how close to home cultic dynamics really are. In the cult landscape, shame is a common denominator. In this contemplation, Matthew unpacks various aspects, with help from the writing of cult theorists and recovery counselors Alexandra Stein, Daniel Shaw, and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi.

Dr. Ronald Levant earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Public Practice from Harvard University. He was on the faculty of Boston University, where he directed the nationally prominent Fatherhood Project, Rutgers University, Harvard Medical School at The Cambridge Hospital, and the Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University, where he also served as Dean. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychology, The University of Akron, where he was Dean of the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Psychology, and Core Faculty in the Counseling Psycholgy Program. Dr. Levant was the 2005 President of APA, and served as the Editor of the Psychology of Men and Masculinity from 2007-2015. To start the conversation, Dr. Levant goes through his background and some of the research he has participated in. Next, Josh asks him to define the term he coined - Normative Male Alexithymia - meaning the consistent inability of men to convey their emotions. This causes Casey to askswhat the causes are, including any societal factors before Josh asks about its long-term effects and how it gets diagnosed/treated. Switching topics, Casey brings up Dr. Levant's book "The Tough Standard", where he asks why it is easier for women to display their emotions. Next, the guys discuss the long-term effects of having the wrong ideas about masculinity including poor health and violence specifically toward women. Moving forward, Josh asks how we can combine the best parts of new/old masculinity before Casey wraps things up by asking where boys learn masculinity from.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:02 - Dr. Levant's background1:42 - Defining normative male alexithymia13:08 - Societal factors of alexithymia15:40 - Effects on men long-term21:10 - Diagnosis and treatment28:00 - Why is it easier for women to express emotion29:20 - How poor masculinity can lead to poor health32:17 - How poor masculinity can lead to violence towards women43:51 - Blending new/old masculinity50:48 - Where boys learn masculinity54:17 - Difference of psychology in sexual assault & violence_______________________________________________________________________________________________Please help support us by liking, commenting, and sharing our episodes!

Over time, I discovered effective tools from therapy, recovery pro­grams, scientific research, and a variety of philosophical and spiritual teachings to find peace, wisdom, and hope–no matter what is going on in my life!Formerly crowned the “Queen of Worry,” I've resigned my post and now live happily with my wonderful husband, Peter, and my cat, Murphy. Although I haven't had a drug or drink for over 30 years, I do occasionally overindulge in Ghirardelli chocolate and historical novels. I hold a PhD in Psychological Studies in Education and an MA in Psychology, both from Stanford University. As a professor at Eastern Michigan University, I won several awards for teaching, and (as Georgea M. Langer) co-authored books and articles for educators.GiGi's personal story is captured in her latest book 50 Ways to Worry Less Now: Reject Negative Thinking to Find Peace, Clarity, and Connection & "Love More Now"This book began as a memoir chronicling my three short marriages, career as a professional horseback rider, and adventures hitchhiking across the north of Spain–all before I turned 38. My wise (4th!) husband suggested that instead, I write a self-help book with “all those helpful things you say when you counsel people on the phone.” At that point, Worry Less Now was born.The book shares what I've learned from my training in psychology and over 30 years applying tools from recovery programs, cognitive therapy, energy work, and a variety of spiritual and scientific teachings.Published 50 Ways to Worry Less NowStanford University, Stanford, California.

Boysen Hodgson interviews Daniel Ellenberg, PhD, the past President of the American Psychological Association's Division for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinities. In this conversation, we're talking about Angels and Traitors … and a whole lot more. Angels and Traitors are archetypal frames to understand who you are and how you react ... coping mechanisms for dealing with hard circumstances. This episode is for you if you're out here trying to change the world! I bet you are - and you're looking for more tools for adaptability and resilience in a difficult time. This episode is for you if you're striving to understand the ‘System' that is YOU in the world - and trying to have some fun in the paradox of becoming. Listen in. This episode will give you some keys to processing difficult situations by harnessing the Angel parts of you that want to thrive, and working with the Traitor parts of you that are just trying to survive. We recorded this before the recent series of mass shootings in the US. I hope that this discussion will help you, as it has helped me, be in the deep sadness, fear and despair that's present … and care for the reality of the world … AND … to find an Angel voice within you that can support you to act with love and determination in the face of unspeakable horror. Get in touch with Daniel Ellenberg at his website: https://www.rewireleadership.com/ Additional ResourcesSubscribe/Rate/Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HERE

Dr. Goldberg is an internationally recognized scholar, speaker, and consultant, who is regularly interviewed by media outlets including the New York Times, The Atlantic, the Boston Globe, and New York Magazine. Her research examines diverse families, including LGBTQ-parent families and adoptive-parent families, as well as the experiences of marginalized groups such as trans youth. A central theme of her research is the decentering of any “normal” or “typical” family, sexuality, or gender, to allow room for diverse families, sexualities, and genders.Dr. Goldberg is the author of over 140 peer-reviewed articles, over 25 book chapters, and four books: LGBTQ Family Building: A Guide for Prospective Parents (APA; 2022), Open Adoption & Diverse Families (Oxford; 2020), Gay Dads (NYU Press; 2012), Lesbian and Gay Parents and their Children (APA; 2010). She is the co-editor of four books: LGBTQ-Parent Families: Innovations in Research and Implications for Practice (Springer; 2013, 2020), LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution (Oxford, 2019), the SAGE Trans Encyclopedia (SAGE; 2021), and the SAGE Encyclopedia of LGBTQ Studies (SAGE; 2016). Her research has been cited in numerous amicus briefs filed in cases related to marriage equality, gay adoption, trans civil rights, and other topics (e.g., Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015; Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, 2021). She currently serves as a Deputy Editor of the Journal of Marriage and Family, and serves as an editorial board member on seven journals. She has received research funding from the American Psychological Association, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Williams Institute, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, the National Institutes of Health, and the Spencer Foundation, among other sources. She teaches courses on diversity in contemporary families, research methods with diverse families, human sexuality, the psychology of sexual orientation, gender and crime, and ethics in clinical psychology. We discussed the impact of her research, how to best serve children of adoption as well as problems within the system. It was an incredible experience to share time with these dynamic compassionate women.

One of the good things that came out of the past few years has been a greater reckoning with and understanding about racism. The very systems embedded in American society treat people unequally based on their race. This affects how people of different races see themselves and interact with each other, which can impact a person's mental health.    While these ideas are becoming more widely understood, today's guest, Dr. Janet Helms, has been studying race and mental health for over 40 years. She believes, as we do, that all people should be treated equitably. But unfortunately, that is often not the case.  Therefore, Dr. Helms has dedicated her career to understanding how and why there is inequity. In her work, she has created more culturally responsive care and research to encourage mental health providers to attend to racial and cultural issues in their practices and institutions to help them improve mental health care.   Janet E. Helms, PhD, is the Augustus Long Professor Emeritus in the Department of Counseling, Developmental, and Educational Psychology and Director of the Institute for the Study and Promotion of Race and Culture at Boston College. Dr. Helms's work has been acknowledged with many awards including the national Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award for mentoring students, an engraved brick in Iowa State University's Plaza of Heroines, and the “Distinguished Career Contributions to Research” Award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Ethnic Minority Issues, the American Psychological Association's Awards for “Distinguished Contributions to Education and Training in Psychology” (2006) and the Award for “Distinguished Contributions to Research in Public Policy” (2008).  Recently, Dr. Helms was the recipient of the 2017-2018 Lifetime Achievement in Mentoring Award from the Society of Counseling Psychology, the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award from APA's Society for the Psychological Study of Culture Ethnicity, and Race, and the APA/APF Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Public Interest.    If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you are listening, and share the show with your colleagues and friends.
