This is the third and final part of the PTSD series looking at the empirically proven talking therapies. In this episode we examine CBT with Seth Gillihan. Seth J. Gillihan is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author, podcast host, and creator of the Think Act Be Online School. He specialises in mindfulness-centered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In this episode, we define what CBT is, and examine anxiety both from its origins and common patterns. We also look at some of the fundamental components of CBT to offset anxiety and restoration of equilibrium. We speak about the power of being present and living a content life with uncertainty. We look at some of the cognitive distortions and thinking errors that can occur in our day-to-day lives and how we can address these. We finish by looking at some anecdotal experiences and cases from Seth’s perspective and what he's learnt as a consequence.

We take the examples from Seth's new book: The CBT Deck for anxiety, rumination and & worry - where he gives 108 strategies to tackle the practical issues of worry. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed speaking with Seth as he is both insightful and engaging as a guest and author.

In this episode, we explore the history and development of ECG algorithms with a leading expert in the field. We'll cover the early days of ECG interpretation, the hurdles in creating automated algorithms, and how this essential technology has evolved. Our guest, with decades of experience, will discuss his role in establishing an ECG Core Laboratory for clinical trials and epidemiological studies. We'll also look at the globally used Glasgow ECG algorithm, which aids thousands of clinicians in interpreting 12 lead ECGs.

Joining me is Professor Peter Macfarlane, Emeritus Professor and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow. His team's work, including the Glasgow ECG interpretation program, is renowned worldwide. Peter's research has focused on ECG variations across age, gender, and ethnicity, influencing international guidelines for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. He founded an ECG Core Laboratory for both national and international clinical trials and studies. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Macfarlane received a DSc in 2000, the 1998 Rijlant International Prize in Electrocardiology, and a CBE in January 2014 for his contributions to healthcare. to see more on the Glasgow ECG Program Research, see here:
