Shrinks on Third

In this session of Shrinks After Hours, we discuss the distorted ways we see ourselves - the background, the impact, and what we can do about it. 

The one in which we talk about gambling and bitcoin. We look into the psychological impact of gambling and when playing with money becomes an addiction. 

The one in which we unpack the Filibuster. There was recently a lot of talk about changing or even getting rid of the filibuster. in this session we talk about what the filibuster is and why it needs changing. 

The one in which we break down the work of Political Action Committees to help us more easily understand what they are and how they influence politics and elections. 

The one in which we talk about how important it is to get away from our dependence on fossil fuels and move toward clean green energy. We also talk about the great resistance to doing what's needed in this regard. 

The one in which we discuss another co-occuring health crisis with which we are all dealing during this global pandemic: COVID and shootings. 

The one in which we further explore psychology's apology through the American Psychological Association. This includes the ways in which psychology, and we as part of the profession, contributed to systemic racism and ways we seek to change it. 

The one in which we share the American Psychological Association's recent apology for the racism the field of psychology has been a part of and has contributed to. As psychologists, we share in the wrongdoings and the responsiblity to make it right. 

In this session of Shrinks After Hours, our last Tuesday of the month feature, we chat about Pet Adoption. Specifically, the rise in adoptions since the beginning of the Pandemic and how we (and our loving pets) are doing.
