Showing results for "Elephant!" in Psychology & Mental Health

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception.

This doesn't just happen to seniors - brain disorders and degeneration are on the rise for young and old alike. The good news is the brain is extremely adaptable and wants to get well.

The reality is that although many Black clients will not zero in on the impact of racism in their lives, ignoring the issue of race in therapy leaves a very large elephant in the room. And you can't build rapport with elephants in the room. So what do you do? In No Racial Elephants in the Therapy Room, Dr. Rheeda Walker provides the answer to this question.

Welcome to The Fairy Elephant Effect Podcast, a space where we’ll explore the powerful, often hidden influences that shape our lives. Each week, we’ll dive into themes from my book, The Fairy Elephant Effect, as well as other topics that help us unpack how our experiences and beliefs shape the lives we live.

Once a month, we’ll feature an inspiring interview with someone who has navigated their own journey of transformation ...

Hi, I’m Rhian Mannings and welcome to my podcast, You, Me and the Elephant in the Room. In 2012, my husband Paul and son George died suddenly and for the last 8 years I have been trying to rebuild my life. Every day I receive a message from someone asking how, and if, they will survive this overwhelming pain. I talk about my own experiences, but everyone is so different, and their grief is unique to them. That is why I decided to do a series of podcasts talking to other people who have experienced a bereavement and to find out how they coped with their loss. In this series, I will be ...
