The Intentional Clinician: Psychology, Philosophy, Therapy, & Change

Joelle Prevost RCC (Registered Clinical Counselor in British Columbia, Canada) joins Paul Krauss MA LPC for a conversation on her forthcoming book "Managing Personal, Emotional, and Social Aspects of Chronic Illness: A Workbook." Joelle draws on her own experience, as well as working with various clients who are managing chronic illness, to discuss the ways in which one might learn to manage their life, even while living with a chronic condition that may never change. Joelle discusses the nuances of "acceptance" versus "giving up" as well as the challenges of communicating with family members, healthcare providers, and more. Joelle is encouraging, yet realistic, in her approach to helping those suffering from chronic illnesses gain more autonomy and balance in their lives.

Previously Paul Krauss MA LPC interviewed Joelle Prevost RCC about her book "The Conversation Guide: How to Skillfully Communicate, Set Boundaries, and Be Understood" on Episode 82 of the Intentional Clinician Podcast.

 In this podcast, Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews Erin Craig LLMSW as they dive into “Dancing Mindfulness”—a unique way to express feelings through movement, facilitate healing traumas, and work toward regulating your nervous system. Dancing Mindfulness is an integrative health technique which is facilitated by licensed therapists to help people who are seeking alternative approaches and deeper healing.

Kathleen McLaughlin and Paul Krauss MA LPC discuss the physical, psychological, and economic costs of selling one's plasma in the USA, as well as how the blood industry's current business model impacts the greater health of our society. Kathleen shares the knowledge she has gained through her own personal experience as a recipient of plasma-based medications, and as a journalist who has interviewed people who supplement their income by selling their plasma, and investigated the business model both locally and internationally. While one may initially believe this topic to be unrelated to psychology and philosophy, this podcast discusses the intersections between the the health impacts, the psychological outcomes, and the entire notion of what type of country/world we want to live in--and how all of this can be shaped by Blood Money.

Kathleen McLaughlin is an award-winning journalist who reports and writes about the consequences of economic inequality around the world. A frequent contributor to The Washington Post and The Guardian, McLaughlin’s reporting has also appeared in The New York Times, BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, The Economist, NPR, and more.

Philosopher Dr. Peg O'Connor stops by the Intentional Clinician podcast to talk to Paul Krauss MA LPC about how trauma may affect peoples' abilities to develop and cultivate what one philosopher calls "the essential arts of person-hood." Some of the essential arts of personhood include: imagining, hoping, having empathy, bodily dominion, and self-possession. Lacking those makes it far more difficult for a person to have self-respect, which in turn makes it much harder to be a full moral agent and to be taken as such by others. In this episode, trauma-informed therapist Paul Krauss MA LPC and Dr. Peg O'Connor discuss the intersections of trauma and the ability for people to cultivate the essential arts of personhood.

Peg O’Connor is a Professor of Philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN, recovering alcoholic of 35 years, and author of Higher and Friendly Powers: Transforming Addiction and Suffering (Wildhouse Publications, 2022) and Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery (Central Recovery Press, 2016). She writes the column “Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken” for psychologytoday.com. 

In her free time, Peg is an avid tennis player and a black belt in taekwondo. She has worked in dog rescue for about 10 years and finds that her faith in humanity can be simultaneously shattered by meeting mistreated animals and restored by colleagues who are fiercely loving and caring advocates. Her own dog, Clooney, is a rescue and they spend their days together in the great Minneapolis area.

If you have ever wondered about how education can improve us as people, then this is the episode for you. Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews Dr. Duncan Pritchard, Ph.D about a holistic method of learning "how" to think instead of just "what" to think. Learn more what Intellectual Virtues are and how they may help you and your organization flourish. 

In 2019, Duncan Pritchard Ph.D, Distinguished Professor of philosophy at the University of California, Irvine, launched a pilot program called “Anteater Virtues” – a series of interdisciplinary, faculty-led modules geared toward promoting a set of intellectual character traits – curiosity, integrity, humility and tenacity - that can help students develop into more inquisitive, open-minded and authentic individuals.

Early results demonstrate that program participants show greater intellectual growth than their peers, with this positive effect stable across all the main demographic groupings.

“Intellectual virtues promote ways of thinking, reasoning and seeking the truth. Learning intellectual humility, for example, can enhance open-mindedness and respect for other people’s opinions, whereas intellectual tenacity can improve students’ willingness to overcome intellectual obstacles,” Pritchard says. He adds that these skills are essential not only for academic pursuits, but also for navigating a daily life that’s increasingly online and often laced with misinformation and manipulation.
