Mental Work

Treating anxiety: CBT vs Schema Therapy (with Amanda Moses)

Therapists use all the strategies they recommend to their clients, right? If you laughed, me too. One of the strategies I rarely practise is mindfulness, and Matthew was kind enough to come on the pod to chat about what mindfulness is and how a regular practise can help us as therapists. Matthew shares his journey from skeptic to mindfulness-embracer, and offers practical advice for therapists interested in giving mindfulness a go. Listen in for a great episode!

GUEST: Matthew Jackson, Psychologist and Intensively-Trained DBT Therapist

Loved Matthew? You might like other episodes he's featured on! Try 'What jobs can I get in psychology?', 'Rethinking Borderline Personality Disorder', and 'How to really process what clients share'

Therapists can benefit from mindfulness too (with Matthew Jackson)

It's a listener story!! 😍 Bron is joined by Kaedee who generously shares their journey to registration while managing complex chronic health conditions and working with a visible aid. Kaedee shares personal experiences of living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, gastric dysmotility, and other health issues, discussing the impact on their career and identity. We talk about self-disclosure and the need for accommodations for mental health clinicians with diverse needs. Such an insightful convo, thanks so much Kaedee! ✨🌈
