  • DMDCastillo
    Outstanding podcast on psychoanalysis
    Really enjoy and find this podcast extremely useful. If you're looking to learn about psychoanalytic takes on important clinical issues, give it a listen!
  • Poetry Mama
    Thoughtful, interesting and compelling. Thank you
    Worth a listen
  • H digging dawg
    Very insightful
    I’ve listened to 5 or so episodes now, and it’s hard a real effect on me. It’s opened my eyes top aspects of myself I wasn’t as aware of.
  • HeyLady!
    Clusters A & C
    Hello from a loyal listener! Can you do an episode on how cluster a and cluster c personalities manifest? Thanks! You’re great!!!
  • reallygreatproduct
    Love it
    It is incredibly calming and puts me to sleep so quickly. More tranquil than any other podcast I’ve found, even when covering topics talking like malignant narcissism and violence. I do enjoy it aside from its sleep-inducing quality, so I re-listen to episodes during the day sometimes. Please make more episodes, especially more case histories!

    Appreciation and Acknowledgement
    This podcast is definitely one of the best on the net. The material covered is theoretically informed and the clinical examples are indeed practical. The language (both the German and the English version) is easy to relate to and understand, but far from simplistic. The diversity of the references and the practicality of the analogies is just what the reader/listener needs to get a better, deeper understanding of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic thinking. Many thanks for the work you do

    Why talking so slow?
    I play it at 2x for it to sound normal. Three seconds pauses after every sentence does not make what your saying sound profound.
  • YaleNinja
    Soothing and entertaining for non clinicians who might think that they learned a thing or two
    I am a psychiatry resident. I am trying to improve my psychotherapy skills. The title seemed intriguing enough, but after 4 episodes, I had to stop because there are no useful theoretical or clinical informations that were being said in the podcast. The itty bitty that was being said were outdated and/or simply common sense told with authoritative voices.
