123. A life update - healthy love, moving overseas, dealing with online criticism

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/4def7f2c-60c0-4b4a-9fc9-b0740036cc84/transcript

We treat our memories like a reliable recording of the past. We remember what happened, how we felt, where we were, and what was said. But what if our account is more like a subjective recollection of events? In this episode, we explore the concept of false memories – how they form, why this matters in our everyday lives, and their more serious potential impacts.

We explore:
•        The cognitive mechanisms behind false memories
•        The misinformation effect and the car crash study
•        Why our memories are open to imagination, repetition and social influence
•        Potential consequences of false memories in news reporting and eyewitness testimony
•        The importance of ethical therapeutic practices and memory

457. The psychology of 'false' memories 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/08c51eee-50dd-46d0-8655-b4bd00da423d/transcript

Why does feeling sad sometimes feel... so good? Whether it’s putting on the saddest song you know, rewatching a movie that always makes you cry, indulging in a little self-pity or finally letting yourself have a good sob, there is something strangely satisfying about sadness. And psychology may be able to explain why.

In this episode, we explore the surprising psychological value of sadness, including:
Why sadness can sometimes feel pleasurable
The psychology of sad songs and sad movies
The tragedy paradox
 Why a good cry can feel so cathartic
Emotional suppression and why it exhausts us
Hedonic adaptation and why happiness loses its intensity
The surprising appeal of self-pity
