Dr.Abramowitz is very generous in sharing his knowledge.

I recently listened to the Sanity x ABCT podcast episode on PTSD and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) with Dr. Patricia A. Resick, which I found on Podchaser but is also available on UA-cam here. This episode provided an excellent deep dive into CPT, and I liked Dr. Resick's knowledge and clear explanation of the therapy's key principles, particularly how it assists patients in processing traumatic memories. What drove me the most was Dr. Resick's talk of how cognitive restructuring might minimize the emotional impact of painful memories. This was eye-opening and instantly applicable to the clinical work I do with trauma patients. It also provided important teaching insights-Dr. Resick's examples of real-world cases making the program an excellent resource for students and clinicians new to CPT. This episode is both instructive and practical, making it an excellent resource for educators and practitioners in the behavioral health profession. I highly suggest it to anyone looking for evidence-based treatments for PTSD!"

I found this podcast very insightful as well as helpful. I really liked the mention of good worry. We often associate the word worry with something negative, but there’s, as mentioned, worry that isn’t so bad and is actually pretty beneficial to us in a lot of cases. Another point that I really liked that was mentioned was the acceptance of the uncertain. Uncertainty often makes us forget to live in our present. I agree with the fact that there’s only but so much we can control. In this present moment, we should just do what we can and live life in the now and not dwell on what hasn’t happened. As someone who sometimes gets lost in their worries about the future, this has helped me ease those thoughts.

I found this podcast from my professor at college for my Psychology of Exceptional Children and Youth class. I listened to this using the Apple Podcast app. The episode that caught my eye was an episode in collaborate with the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) titled OCD Assessment and Treatment with Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz. Dr. Jonathon Abramowitz is a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders. Something that I really appreciated about this episode was the openness of the numerous challenges that he has experienced when diagnosing people with OCD since it is a complex disorder with many types that fall under the category. I think it was beneficial to me, as an undergraduate psychology major, to hear about the process of diagnosing. Dr Abramowitz explained that you need to first have a clinical interview but most importantly, ask the RIGHT questions during it so that you can get all of the relevant information needed. Since OCD has many different branches, it is important to assess their feelings attached to the behavior that was performed. This episode, or various parts of this interview, could be very helpful to those who aspire to pursue this speciality in OCD disorders.

Today I watched the Sanity x ABCT episode on Parent Child Interaction Therapy with Dr.'s Kate Gibson and Corey Lieneman, as part of an assignment for my Psych 235 “Psychology of Exceptional Children and Youth” Class. I originally started this episode on spotify, but had to move over to youtube to use closed captions. I chose this episode specifically because I work in childcare and seen how students can go from disruptive children to calm ones and vice versa. This video did not disappoint, and I left feeling educated. It is so important to be a positive reinforcement for our children and this episode explains it thoroughly. It's great that they break this process down into steps, it's not easy for parents to just flip the switch on stuff like this. I use positive reinforcement and giving space to my students (grades 1-8) and it does wonders throughout the day. At work other faculty treat me as odd for doing that but this makes me feel supported. I truly think that parents AND educators should watch this 2 part episode, and i even recommended this podcast to my non psych friends. Thank You for this podcast and keep doing what you do!

I enjoyed watching Dr Barlo, ABCT and Sanity’s podcast. It was informative and clear to understand. I liked how ABCT mentioned that challenges you go against is the ones you learn a lot. And that’s what makes life interesting. This conversation really focused on what Psychology was like during past times at some points in the video.

I have listened to the Sanity X ABCT Podcast with Dr. Jason Duncan in which he has talked about parent child therapy with his guest experts Dr. Kate Gibson and Dr. Corey Lineman. Within this episode of the podcast they have gone into depth on the importance of parent-child therapy and has it has made a vast improvement for children with child disruptive behavior. Honestly, this episode was such an eye opener to me as they have delved deep into the importance of spreading positivity tools to help parents learn about their children better. I truly liked how they separated it into steps and only move forward towards the next step once they see improvement because it truly shows how serious this kind of therapy is to strengthen bonds between parents and their children. I loved when the went into giving children their own time to have space for themselves, it's crucial to teach your children that they have a choice when it comes to their well being and if they need their own time, then give them that time. I truly loved the episode!!!

I watched the Sanity x ABCT Podcast with Dr. Jason Duncan where he talks about parent child interaction therapy with guest experts Dr. Kate Gibson and Dr. Corey Lineman. In this podcast they talk about PCIT specifically for child disruptive behavior and why it's beneficial for parents to learn to fix these behaviors within their children. One thing that stood out to me this episode was the science behind therapeutic time outs with kids. The method’s guiding principle behind therapeutic timeouts is having the child recognize that being put in a timeout is borning rather than feeling ashamed or that the parents are upset with them.The ability to pair noncompliance with boredom allows the child to learn how to be more compliant and follow rules and directions. As someone who babysits often I feel like this method could be used when a child is not getting their way and isn't following directions. Specifically when watching children with siblings who don't want to participate in the activity their brother/sister do and throw a tantrum because of it. By putting that child in a timeout they might feel more bored and left out of the activity they originally didn't want to participate in and now see the benefits of cooperating and participating. By using the 3 minute timeout principle they can learn that by not complying with an adult can lead to boredom and they can prevent this, therefore having more fun and continuing to do the activity. The timeout strategy can serve as an effective teaching tool by modeling how to calmly implement behavioral boundaries while maintaining a positive parent-child relationship. We could implement this as part of training in schools for educators to use or even as a class/social media page for parents to find and go to for tips and advice on how to help with their child's disruptive behavior.

I listened to the Sanity x ABCT podcast episode, "OCD Assessment and Treatment with Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz," on UA-cam for a class assignment. Dr. Abramowitz, a leading psychologist in the field, provided an insightful overview of OCD, explaining its symptoms and the importance of accurate diagnosis. He also focused on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as the most effective treatment, which was explained in a clear, accessible way. What stood out most was the emphasis on the diversity of OCD presentations and the need for personalized treatment. This episode offered practical insights I can apply to my studies and future clinical work, making it a valuable teaching tool for anyone interested in understanding OCD and its evidence-based treatments.

I thought this was a very interesting podcast to listen to! I found it extremely relevant not only to my daily life, but to a class I'm currently taking called "Mastering Mental Toughness and Managing Anxiety". A lot of the topics covered here are topics that we have covered in the class as well. When speaking about worry, Dr. Leahy said that worry is a prominent characteristic in anxiety disorders and even OCD and PTSD. In my class, I learned that anxiety is characterized by "What if" thoughts and worrying about future threat, like Dr. Leahy said. There is use and unuseful worry. Useful worry can be a good thing because it can be used as a motivator to get things done. Unuseful worry is the worrying about things you cannot control. Dr. Leahy stated in order to combat unproductive worry you need to be able to accept uncertainty, and give up control of the future. He also mentioned that we often underestimate our ability to handle bad outcomes. Similarly, I learned in my class that anxiety is the lack of confidence in yourself to be able to handle adversity. Something else I thought was really interesting that Dr. Leahy mentioned was the idea of possibility vs probability when it comes to worrying. The example he used of someone worrying about a plane crashing- the probability of that is close to 0, but of course it's possible. People who worry excessively tend to focus on the possibility of something happening as opposed to the probability of it. I loved how there were so many parallels between this podcast and that class on anxiety that I'm taking. This was a really great and informative podcast, Dr. Leahy is really able to breakdown in layman's terms what worry is.

This episode of the Sanity Podcast is truly enlightening! MJ's reflections on her incredible journey with ABCT and the evolution of CBT are both inspiring and informative.

I found it really informative and insightful especially when they talk about the cognitive and behavior therapy

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, I choose this episode since I often have trouble with my sleep schedule. What Dr. Allison Harvey had to say about circadian rhythm and how the things we do can impact it. It was eye opening to see that simple things that we do in our everyday lives can impact our circadian rhythm like exercise and when we eat. Another aspect that I enjoyed listening to is about how sleep can impact mental health and functioning everyday. Listening to how sleep can have short term impacts and long term impacts to mental health put things into prospective. Like say someone needs 8 hours of sleep every night but they only get 7, that loss of one hour can make a big impact over time. Then hearing how that sleep debt can result in that anxious feeling about when it comes to sleep. I'm excited to take the advice I learned in this podcast and implement it into my daily routine so that I can receive better sleep.

I listened to the Parent Child Interaction Therapy with Dr.'s Gibson and Lieneman episode of the Sanity Podcast x Association for behavioral and cognitive therapies (ABCT). I was able to listen to it on Spotify. This podcast was very insightful what stood out to me how focusing on positivity is able to be used as a tool to help parents work better with their child. I also liked the idea that parent and child will not be able to move to the next stage if they have not successfully completed the first. I tend to work with quite a lot of children and I think the idea of 5 minutes of freedom would is a great idea to make children feel as if they can make their own choices. But by following PRIDE skills, I think is what makes it enjoyable for both parties involved. This episode is very insightful and could be a great teaching tool for parents for parents who feel like they are struggling to guide their child in the behavior they want to see. I want to work with children so I will refer back to this when parents come to me for advice in how to respond to their child's behavior. Very interesting!

I watched Sanity x ABCT: OCD Assessment and Treatment with Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz (Episode 1). I really appreciate that we have so many platforms right now to get to know more about different disorder so that we can dive more into it. I watched it in youtube because I just can’t concentrate when I just listen it in Podcast or Spotify. I’m interested about obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) because I was always joking that I got OCD when I’m keeping all the things clean or organized. However, after watching this video, there are 2 main component of OCD which is the intrusive thought and the behavior to erase the thought. I think a lot of us may only focus on the behavior like keep washing hands to keep germs away, but forgot the intrusive thought part. I want to work in pre-school to 3rd grade. I think the video is very useful for me, especially it provides some insight for me to assess them. However, the children that in the future I will work with may not be able to talk very concise about how they feel or why did they have that specific thought. I really like the way how Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz identify what OCD is. He also differentiates GAD which is generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. They are different because GAD focus on the fears that about real life circumstances. It is very useful as a teaching tool because it provides a lot of insights about OCD from Dr. Abramowitz by having different kinds of real life examples.

This great. Thanks so much for your help both of you. OCD is not properly recognised by most professionals or the public

I cannot explain with words how much I appreciate his contribution to the OCD community. Read his book and I’m trying to accept uncertainty every day 💪

Great conversation.

One of the very few people who talks with so much understanding 😊 I hope more therapists get this kind of understanding. Listening to him is GOLD

it's really useful that the speakers define and explain the ideas and terms they use and how they are then employed in the therapy

Thanks for the valuable Information.Dr.Finally found a crystal clear explanation.

I really appreciated all the advice Dr. Alvord gave us, including handling telehealth from different states. Knowing that the therapist should have a list of contacts and emergency resources from where their patient is. She recommends that the therapist assign that task to the patient (she always checks to confirm it's to the place). There should be consent written for the therapist so they have permission to things to save the patient if things go south... such great stuff that we really need to know.

I listened to Sanity x ABCT's first episode, OCD Assessment and Treatment with Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz. I originally listened to it on Spotify, but decided to leave a review here on UA-cam. I found the discussion on what OCD is, the different kinds of OCD, and where the name comes from incredibly fascinating. There's a lot of stigma surrounding this particular disorder, so it's really informative that Dr. Abramowitz discussed what defines an obsession and a compulsion, and gave specific examples of the different ways they can present. I also really appreciated that Dr. Abramowitz talked about the different factors that distinguish OCD from other anxiety disorders, like GAD. This is a fantastic episode to listen to if you have an interest in clinical psychology, and more specifically, OCD!

I listened to "Sanity x ABCT Sleep Health with Dr. Allison Harvey” and found a lot of things very interesting. I always wonder how much sleep I should be getting and if every person needs the same amount of sleep. Turns out everybody is different on how much sleep they should be getting. I feel like sleep is such an important topic for everyone because if we have poor sleep we cannot do anything right. Dr. Allison Harvey talks a lot about our biological clocks(circadian rhythms) that we have which tells us when to be awake and when to sleep. It's influenced by light and controls things like our sleepiness. Dr. Harvey says that not everyone needs a solid 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to be healthy. Sleep needs are different for everyone, and some people do just fine with less sleep or waking up briefly at night. Knowing this can ease worries about not getting "enough" sleep. She also talks about how understanding what's normal for sleep and what's just a myth can help people be more realistic about their sleep expectations. This can help lower anxiety and frustration about sleep problems, which can lead to better overall sleep quality and health. This was a very educational podcast because this is something that everyone does and I am actually interested in this subject.

I was fascinated by this episode. Started off with a video I had to pick from to watch for class to enjoying and paying attention to what Dr. Allison Harvey had to say. She has a talent for simplifying difficult subjects related to sleep health so that an average listener may easily understand them. She spoke on the science behind many sleep disorders, such as insomnia, offering helpful advice for enhancing our sleep hygiene. What I appreciated most about this episode was Dr. Harvey's emphasis on the importance of getting a good night's rest for overall health and well-being. I felt at ease and prepared for implementing some of her advice into my daily routine because of her calming presence and soothing speech.

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this podcast and getting a better idea of what PCIT is and how beneficial it can be for both the parent and child. I liked learning about positive reinforcement in PCIT and how they address and analyze behaviors from parents when speaking to the child. I often notice when being around children, that they tend to react and learn better when they are being spoken to and guided in a positive way. I also liked how they mention power struggles as this is something not many people like to admit or really talk about. It's so important for the parents to also be as stress free as possible and to have positive experiences with their kid. The idea that the 5 minutes of freedom is in play shows how children are aware of the power struggles that occur within their school and at home. Thank you for bringing attention to this topic as it can help both individuals in this situation to be kinder and understanding to one another. The 5 minute play is a great idea as it can be used throughout the week since it can be realistic! It can also encourage them to gain the skills to use it more naturally not forced.

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I can say that when I was a child I never had trouble sleeping, but once I started middle school I did see that I struggled to sleep during these times because of all the responsibilities I had in school. It was very interesting when Dr.Allison Harvey spoke about how lack of sleep can cause sadness and an irritable state because I experienced this often in middle and high school. I enjoyed the advice that was talked about to help regulate my sleeping schedule and circadian rhythm because even now I struggle to regulate my sleep schedule. I learned about the different methods a person can try to work on fixing their sleep schedule and I hope to try these out myself.

I found this podcast very interesting to listen to. Logically I was aware that not getting enough sleep was not ideal and I was sort of aware that it could have a negative impact on your mental health but I never really thought about how impactful a lack of sleep actually was. It was impactful to hear that the lack of sleep becomes cumulative and that it can have long term effects if you are chronically sleep deprived. I know that I defiantly am not getting even remotely close to the required amount of sleep and it was something I have just sort of accepted but this podcast made me start to reconsider if this is something I should try to address. I liked that Dr. Allison Harvey offered ideas on how to improve on one's sleep.

I found this podcast to be incredibly helpful in helping navigate the complications that come along with worrying. As someone who has anxiety, worry is the predominant factor that comes into play when dealing with it. This podcast is incredibly helpful in giving insight about how worry can truly and deeply impact our emotions and mental health. There aren’t many resources that talk about how the simple fact of worry can mainly trigger anxiety, and as Dr.Lehay said, it can often lead to depression if not treated in 6-12 years. It’s great that this podcast highlights worry and how to help with this specifically, so that it can hopefully help it from spiraling and creating a bigger issue. Many people tend to focus on anxiety and how to alleviate the feelings that come with it, however, few focus on the prevention of it, which can be found in the podcast. This podcast successfully explains worrying and its complexities, while also providing ways to improve the way many of us deal with it.

I found this podcast through my “Psychology for Exceptional Children and Youth” class. I listened to, “What to do about Worry” on UA-cam. The guest in this podcast was Dr. Robert Leahy. He and Dr. Duncan spoke about worry. Mainly, they focused on what it is, why it is a problem, and the evolutionary reason for worry. One of the most memorable parts of the episode is the fact that you cannot suppress your thoughts and worries. Instead, you can make an “appointment” with your thoughts to then learn to cope. I thought this was memorable because of how it was worded, allowing people to think of their thoughts as something to reflect on and address. I believe this podcast could help with my work because it's something that can be tested with research, for example, someone being taught skills to cope with worry versus those who haven’t and seeing if the worrying thoughts had decreased. This episode can be a great teaching tool as everyone worries. Coping with this worry can lead to a decrease in stress and pressure during everyday life.

I recently listened this podcast episode titled "Sanity x ABCT: Psychedelic Assisted Therapy," which featured Dr. Jason Luoma and Dr. Brian Pilecki. I found the episode to be very interesting and thought-provoking. In fact, my professor recommended that all students listen to the episode and share our thoughts and experiences about it. I'm glad that I was able to listening this podcast on UA-cam platform that delved into the meaning of psychedelics and their effects on the human mind and body. The podcast hosts explained that psychedelics cause perceptual changes, which can include a distorted sense of time and self, as well as a disconnection from the physical body. They went on to describe how these substances can lead to profound experiences, such as feelings of unity with the universe or a sense of ego dissolution. The hosts also discussed the potential risks associated with psychedelics, such as adverse reactions and the possibility of triggering latent mental health issues, and they described the process of therapy. What caught my attention the most was their thoughts about how these substances were created and how they compared psychedelics with LSD and other types of substances. I thoroughly enjoy listening and learning more about the meaning of the word psychedelics. Overall, the podcast provided a thought-provoking exploration of this complex subject.

After watching this podcast, I found myself really intrigued by the explanation of uses of certain techniques by parents. From this I learned that power struggles between parents and children are the reason why cooperation of parenting is important. This stood out to me the most while listening because I never understood the effectiveness on some “punishments” by parents, now I am aware that this is because the relationship is tense which leads the child to not be as motivated to please their parents.

I listened to this Sanity x ABCT episode about sleep health with Dr. Allison Harvey on Spotify. I really enjoyed this topic as I have a bad sleep schedule and really liked how Dr Allison explained how the Cadian rhythm is highly sensitive to certain exogenous cues in the environment, the biggest one is light. I tend to sleep with my tv light on, a regular desk lamp and colorful lamp which is a bit bright all together but when I wake up I have my curtains shut and my tv turns off after a couple hours so it is mostly still dark by then. Where in the podcast Dr. Allison describes it is better to sleep with dim lights and wake up with a bright light. This is something I can implement into my nightly routine, maybe by opening up my curtains and keeping my lamp on a dim setting when going to sleep and seeing how it affects my sleep

I love this Podcast. Sanity x ABCT Psychedelic Assisted Therapy with Dr.’s Jason Luoma and Brian Pilecki" offer valuable insights into the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy, blending scientific knowledge with practical applications. I enjoy the hosts, and the relevance of topics discussed.

When watching this I wasn’t sure what to expect. After listening to this episode “the importance of cooperation of parenting “ it was very interesting how they established how to get your children to listen to the parents. The difference of longer and shorter time outs. What really interested me was how when they mentioned how the goal of time outs is to tie them to boredom. The goal of rime out is to have the child realize “okay I did something bad now , I’m sitting in this corner with nothing to do.” This can encourage them not to do it again to listen to their parents. This involves no yelling or anger or even hardcore discipline. I didn’t realize how effective this method could be .

I really enjoyed this podcast about sleep health!, I have had a horrible sleep schedule ever since I was in middle school up until now. I would go to school simply running on 2 hours of sleep and I have sort of improved in my adult years but not as much as I would like too. Dr. Allison Harvey talks about how important it is to get sleep and the circadian rhythm both on track so they work together in a great way, and she states that this can be done by having regular bedtimes/wakeup times and light exposure meaning only dim lights before bed and bright lights when waking up and throughout the day. Sleeping is so important for our mental health and getting too little or too much can impact our mental health in many ways. It is important to keep a regular sleeping schedule for an individual and it can drastically change a persons life.

This podcast was very informative and a lot of things that were apart of the topic ai didn't expect to have such a big factor on sleep. I am actually a person who has difficulty sleeping at night and some of Dr.Allison's point on preparing a better sleep schedule stood out to me because this is what I lack. I love how you guys were bale to shed light on mental health and how it correlates with sleep as well. I think this podcast should touch others because it's very detailed and professional. It can help a lot if they listened.

I stumbled across this podcast after having it recommended to me by a college professor. Sharing Dr. Robert Leahy’s insight on worry: productive and unproductive, was personable and very insightful to myself, a college student with GAD. What I liked the most was him talking about how far worry could go, and how it is applicable to many disorders that have to do with anxiety and depression. Worry is somewhat normal and happens to everyone and Dr. Leahy explained both kids, as well as sides of the spectrum. There is worry as simple as forgetting a link, to fear of job loss that could lead to homelessness and death by starvation. In addition to insight on the fact that, worry can be unproductive, as you just speak of impending doom that you can’t do anything to fix it at the moment and the opposite. As someone who does want to trench and then eventually possibly go into counseling, I found Dr. Leahy’s appearance on the podcast to be very informative and interesting, only increasing my interest in the field. As a student, this podcast has so many episodes like this one that can be used as teaching tools in the PSYCH environment.

Today I listened to the ABCT Sanity Podcast Episode 2 on UA-cam with Dr. Jason Duncan. This podcast episode focused on Parent/Child Interaction Therapy with children who are of mid-late elementary age. I really enjoyed learning about Parent Child Interactions with guest experts, Dr. Kate Gibson, and Dr. Corey Lineman. Their expertise is invaluable and has provided a lot of information that will help me during my college coursework within my major of Family Science & Human Development major while obtaining my teaching certification. The information I most appreciated about the podcast was when they spoke about coaching parents to avoid giving instructions and criticizing their children’s behavior. They stressed the importance of parents spending time with their children by interacting with them in positive ways, through their own interests, such as playing games. I think this is a great way to develop a good relationship with children in both their home life and also a classroom setting for teachers. I think everybody should give this podcast a listen, you will find out some great learning tools and ways to work with children. I highly recommend the ABCT organization and Sanity Podcast. It is definitely worth listening to, give them a subscribe and a like as I did. I was happy to see they are also available on Spotify and Apple Podcast.

This podcast with Dr.Allison Harvey was very interesting to listen to. She mentioned how its critically important to sleep and how not enough sleep can cause sadness,hypomania, and a irritable state. Sleep is crucial for our brain to be able to process the next day and help us prepare for whats to come. Sleep is an important aspect of mental health which I agree with. As mentioned when feeling anxious of sleep you are not able to sleep. Ive had this happen to me quite a few times where my anxiety gets worse due to lack of sleep and the feeling anxious of sleep where I wasnt able to sleep. This episode help me understand the importance of sleep and how sleep can be beneficial if you sleep around the same time everyday. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who is interested in getting a better understanding of the benefits of sleep and gain more knowledge.

I didn't expect to enjoy this podcast this much. I was taking melatonin every night for about six months, and I decided to take a break from it. During the first week of melatonin withdrawal, I could not sleep at all, I was experiencing insomnia and sleep deprivation which affected my energy and mood levels. I enjoyed Dr.Allison Harvey's emphasis on how sleep affects mental health. I learned a lot about how to improve my sleep and I will be trying these methods out. It is important to learn about how sleep is not a linear pattern for everyone, and there are methods that work for all individuals.

I wanted to listen to this podcast because at times I find myself worrying a little too much about the little things or things out of my control. I felt like listening to this podcast can help me a bit change the way I think or feel about worry. This podcast talks about how people worry everyday about everything. What Dr. Robert Leahy mentions is that people who worry so much might have generalized anxiety disorder that might lead to depression later on in life. I like to listen to podcasts like this because I can relate to some of it based on how they describe what it is like to feel a certain type of way. I find myself relating to this in how I worry about tons of things although I shouldnt. I do have anxiety so it makes sense why I worry so much, I bite my nails when I am anxious or nervous as well as when I am stressed. Dr. Leahy tries to tell us how to deal with worry. He reminds us that people who worry a lot are not alone, there are many people in the world who worry just like us. The interesting thing about these facts is that I am aware of it all but it is hard to help myself but I am able to help others who are going through the same thing. I love to help people and find myself kind of giving therapeutic advice to others. I would like to counsel youth in the future and hopefully use these techniques someday.

This is a topic that interests me and I felt like I needed to learn more about my worries. The guy who does a good job of introducing what worry is; it is repeating negative thoughts due to worrying about something like people getting mad at you, relationship problems, people leaving you for example. The main speaker does a good job of clarifying misconceptions people could have about worry like rumination, and the doctor does a good job of distinguishing the difference. They also talk about worry for a positive reason for example and he calls it productive worry. This podcast changed my view on the concept of worry and helped me to not see it as negatively as I used to. One thing I really enjoyed about this podcast episode was the idea that we as humans find our lives to be fulfilling if we have happiness along with the challenges that give us worry because once we overcome them we learn from them and find value in them. This episode could be used as motivation for upcoming psychology majors because Dr. Leahy comments how you never stop learning in the field of psychology even after you finish your PhD, which is something that makes me happy because I love learning.

This was a very interesting episode to listen to! I appreciated the discussion of of how all encompassing worrying can seem to be, but also the discussion on the useful aspects of worrying. I agree with Dr. Robert's point about how focusing on the present actions you can take to ease your worry is a much more healthy mindset than worrying about things in the far future. A lot of my friends come to me when they're nervous, and this is a method I have used and can continue to use in order to calm them down and make them think clearer. Hopefully in the future I will become a clinical therapist and be able to use these techniques I learned in a more clinical setting to help as many people as possible.

I listened to the Parent Child Interaction Therapy with Dr. Gibson and Lieneman episode of the Sanity Podcast, and it was interesting to learn about. This episode was fascinating because I work with a child who has autism and use aba concepts. Listening to this episode has helped reinforce the skills I use while working with the child. What stood out to me was the time out strategy. I always thought it was not something I would use once I become a parent but after listening to this, I would consider it. It is refreshing hearing that timeouts are effective and does not cause harm when it is used properly.

I found this podcast episode to be so informative and beneficial to listen to. Sleep is so important and it is unfortunate that many people don’t prioritize it in a healthy way. This podcast episode is such a good start for people who would like to take the first step in informing themselves on better self care. This episode reminded me that the first step to having a good day is a good nights sleep! Dr. Allison Harvey stated herself that sleep is a huge contributing factor to ones mental health and well being. I struggle with staying up and procrastinating sleep unnecessarily so just like many others, I will be using the information given to help better my own sleep!

I enjoyed listening to the podcast as it expanded my knowledge of how important sleep health is. Dr. Allison explained that sleep is very important and linked to mood, function, and overall health. It can bring insight to those who struggle with sleeping or those who stay up too late and are experiencing serious side effects. Which according to the podcast and submitted studies, will get worse as time goes on depending on your age. I thought this podcast was informational and it even opened my own eyes on how I need to sleep more to function better the next day. I also thought that Dr. Allison's informing us about anxiety linked to sleep was intuitive, as many people struggle with anxiety on a day-to-day basis. I have anxiety so sometimes it is hard to fall asleep easily on nights where I'm worrying about something the next day, which impacts how much sleep I can get out of that night. I would have liked more conversation relating to napping during the day, as I know sleeping too much during the day also places negative effects on health and mood.

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. I have had sleeping problems since I was a child and hearing Dr.Allison Harvey's advice to help regulate my sleeping schedule and circadian rhythm. Trying to balance multiple responsibilites and goals in life can have great impact on how we sleep and it is essential that I learn how to priotize gaining more and better quality sleep. Dr. Allison Harvey has brought many useful tips and knowledge to how people should minimize light, technology, and anxiety to help gain sleep. She also emphasizes how throughout different age ranges our bodies changes and it is a constant cycle of focusing on giving your body what it needs in terms of exercise and food that can help us sleep. Overall, I really learned the significance of paying attention to how you treat your body on a regular basis and trying your best to maintain a balanced and healthy routine.
