Suzzana Dee joins me today to talk about social media and the music industry. We talk about her return to the industry after ten years so Suzanna really has a before and after understanding.

We discuss how the sudden rise to fame for young people can bring about challenges from social media and how this can impact on a persons social media profiles, families and mental health.

We discuss the influence of poor sex education and how young people have been learning about sexual relationships through Pornography and the internet.

We dispel myths about psychosexual therapy and what it looks like. Why people wait until they are in a desperate place to access this therapy. Why current methods of training for child therapists misses out this huge factor and topic and why children may go onto develop fetishes/obscure behaviours and sexual issues.

This week I'm joined by Pat Markey who is one of two authors of the book Moral Combat: Why the war on violent video games is wrong. This episode tries to squeeze the synopsis of the book into 30 minutes and I don't think we do a bad job.

With recent media coverage and Presidential 'blaming' of the recent school shooting in the U.S. on VVG Pat quickly runs through the evidence to highlight this is not necessarily the case nor cause.

This weeks episode takes a look into the ethics of machine learning (not AI) and why this is an area for consideration. We discuss how facial recognition software has some great benefits and where it has issues and potential problems and ethics in warfare. This episode is packed full of really interesting stuff and one of my favourite topics

A quick update on what's happening! The snow interrupted play over the last episode so I thought I would check in with you and keep you updated.

please feel free to feedback about topics you would like me to cover!

Here is the link to the Facebook live video where I covered pornography use in CYP https://www.facebook.com/onlinevents/videos/1583079075061510/?t=9

Today I'm joined by Pita Marroni, He is a friend and student of biohacking and functional medicine. I am very very excited for this and future episodes as I have been aiming to do this very podcast from the outset & bring technology and performance into the realm of cybersynapse and cybertrauma

Todays episode may be a difficult topic for some listeners however it is absolutely necessary that this topic is borough to the attention of parents everywhere.

Today I'm joined by Suzzan Black who is a Researcher, blogger, artist and a survivor of sexual abuse, trafficking, exploitation and depression. She is a campaigner and educator around the topic of Violence in pornography

Today im joined by Bo Pederson. He is an IT manager and has gamed for over 30 years. In this episode he gives his strong opinion about gaming disorder and why he disagrees with the W.H.O. perspective on this issue. Bo brings his perspective to society and parenting alongside this topic so buckle up this one is a lively episode.

Todays episode again crosses the water to the U.S. and im joined by a Psychologist Erick Medina.

We take our discussion from parenting to Psychotherapy and how the world of social media has introduced new issues in couples counselling and the phenomenology of their experiences.

Erick A. Medina, Psy.D. teaches Psychology at Newbury College in Brookline, MA, USA, and has a private practice of psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing in Wellesley, MA, USA. He can be found on Twitter at @exphen.

Todays talk follows on from last weeks episode about the effects of Porn on the brain.

Todays conversation is no less than candid and one that addresses the taboo subject of sexual education around consent and pornography  where young children find themselves viewing this material via apps like YouTube. A subject close to my theory of cybertrauma and a fantastic conversation between us both who are passionate about this topic.
