  • 297. HEAD NOISE: A Not-So-Ex-Wife, Texting Boundaries and Anxious Attachments

    FOR 2024 I'm rebranding the Listener Question segment of the pod to be HEAD NOISE! Same content idea but with a new name.

    SO – in this first episode of Head Noise for 2024 I’m answering these three questions

    1. 1) Should I contact the ex-wife of a man who I was seeing but then suddenly ghosted be after he found out his ex-wife knew we were seeing each other.
    2. 2) I text my new partner all the time, at least daily, but they don’t reply to me very often. After listening to your episode with Sabrina Zohar I've been reflecting that maybe I’m anxiously attached. My partner says that I am overreacting by explaining that I’m not feeling like a priority when they take ages to reply to me or don’t incorporate me into their plans. How do I communicate to my partner that this is important to me, or am I letting him railroad me and it’s part of a bigger picture?
    3. 3) My anxious attachment style is getting in the way of my relationship with my introverted partner. I’m feeling like a burden because of my hyper fixation on his feeling and me being so hypervigilant and afraid of being abandoned by him. What can I do?

  • 295. The Neuroscience of Antidepressants Pt 1. Drugs based around the monoamine hypothesis

    There’s a lot of talk about the monoamine hypothesis of Depression, which is the theory that a reduced level of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system is what causes symptoms of depression, but is it the cause?

    In this episode we’ll find out what the evidence is, and what treatments work based on that hypothesis, and how they relate to the drugs that are currently on the market to treat symptoms of Depression. In the next episode we'll go into more detail about the glutamatergic system and how these drugs interact with the brain, and potentially new treatments that could potentially reverse the negative side effects of some of the existing treatments.

  • 293. The Theory of Marginal Gains (and the secret to ACTUALLY achieving your goals)

    Do tasks seem insurmountable? Are you finding your goals just SO unachievable?  You might be looking at goal setting and ACHIEVING in general in a way that is setting you up to fail.

    I wanna talk to you about the theory of marginal gains, how little achievements move you closer to your goals, and how to improve your life with these little bouts of moving the needle.
