Here we are again with a new episode for you from the GetPsyched! Podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing the phenomenon of Idealization; a tricky feeling that can become a hurdle in self-growth and personal relationships. This is a short podcast that can shed more light on the topic of idealization, its root causes, and helpful solutions against it. You or someone you know may experience idealization unconsciously, and that’s normal, especially at the beginning of a new experience! However, it is important to take notice of the signs and moments where one starts to idealize, and simply be aware as it tends to go south. Sit back and relax while you take a listen!

Stigma often comes from a lack of understanding or fear. Join us in today’s episode where we discuss how inaccurate or misleading media representations of mental illness contribute to both of those factors. We also discuss a review of studies on stigma that shows while the public may accept the medical or genetic nature of a mental health disorder and the need for treatment, many people still have a negative view of those with mental illness.

Disclaimer: This episode focuses solely on links between criminal behaviour and alexithymia, but does not encompass the spectrum of alexithymia or the significant populations which are alexithymic and non-aggressive. The majority of alexithymic people will have communication differences but are not emotionless or inherently aggressive.

An enlightening episode that places its central focus on the little-known personality characteristic- Alexithymia. The hosts explore the criminal pattern of behaviour among those with Alexithymia. What emotional deficits do they possess, and how do these influence their criminal activity? Do Alexithymics have an aggressive nature that further instigates their criminal behaviour? Do the most-feared terrorists suffer from Alexithymia?

Hop right into the podcast to feed your curiosity!

As students, we're familiar with the need to study and remember large amounts of information, but how does that process actually work, and how can we do it more efficiently?
Today, we'll be talking about memory, and more specifically, working memory. We'll discuss how we process and encode information and some ways in which we can study more effectively. Moreover, we'll be talking about working memory in the ADHD brain, and we're welcoming a psychology student towards the end to discuss the implications of working memory on reading comprehension and dyslexia!

In this episode we’ll be talking all about intelligence, it’s myths and misconceptions. That hypothetical mental ability that we’re all so quick to judge and comment on. Sometimes, it’s all lighthearted fun between siblings, and other times, it’s weaponized to justify passing awful immigration laws and the sterilization of those judged to have a low IQ. We’ll talk about that in more detail later in the episode, but we’ll also be talking about some theories of intelligence, how IQ is measured, what it can or can’t tell us about a person, and finally, we’ll be dunking some myths.

As social beings, we choose which group identities to assimilate with or invest in and which social groups we’re most loyal to. Therefore, the degree to which we identify with and protect certain identities varies. So, today, we’ll be talking all about our identities as individuals, why we seek social groups, and overall, the relationship between groups, individuals, and societies.

Quarantine whack-a-moled the routine of so many of us, and with it, our sleep schedule. In fact, some of us didn’t really exercise the best sleep hygiene before lockdown even started. So in this episode, we'll be talking about our biological sleep cycle, why we seem to be constantly losing sleep, the consequences of that loss, and how we can fix it!
