    Does the way you were treated as a child in terms of intimacy with your primary care giver effect your close relationships in late life?

  • S2 E8 - He's on the spectrum!
    "On the spectrum" is a phrase often heard, but also often misunderstood. What spectrum are we talking about? Is it an official medical term? Is it the same as Aspergers? And what is a savant? etc. etc. All these questions and many many more are explored in our latest Ep.

  • S2 E7 - The biophilia hypothesis - does nature make us happier?
    We all like a nice weekend in the country don't we? But is there something in our biology which makes the restorative power of nature a real thing. In this episode, we explore how immersing ourselves in the natural world and trying to live in environments more reflective of nature, can have a significant positive impact on our mental health. We think so!
