Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Nicole Runyon, she is a Parent Coach, Keynote Speaker and a Psychotherapist. Nicole has a very interesting take on Technology and Child Development.  In her work she noticed that psychotherapy was not very effective on her young clients, and this set her thinking, she realized that it was the landscape and culture that they live in.  She was particularly concerned about the effect of Technology and social media on children because of peer pressure, bullying and exclusion and other negative effects on their mental health. Nicole turned her attention to the Parents and how they are parenting their children in the age of abundant and accessible technology.  She does this under the umbrella of Parent Coaching and she helps them develop tools to better raise their children.  Nicole says that children around the age of 12 and up, are developing their own self identity and need to go through periods of discomfort as they develop their personalities.  Nicole noted that that parents need to let their children know that they should expect in some situations that they will feel uncomfortable and that they can work through it. Nicole says that Parents often need to work though their own discomforts firstly to enable their child to grow and to be themselves. Nicole struck me as emphatic, pragmatic and a very clear communicator and it was a pleasure to talk to her and learn how she helps parents and their children. Finally, Nicole picks a classic pop song for us to playout with.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. We are talking with Dr Madhav Bhargav who completed his PhD Research into the Mental Health of young people and particularly University Students. Madhav relates a very funny story about how he learned about Trinity college Dublin and why he applied to go there. When he got to Trinity he became involved in the Graduate Students Union and was elected as the VIce President. He was the first sabbatical officer from outside the EU and North America, which tells you something about his appetite for new challenges. In his PhD, he focused on how young people / college student’s mental health is impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). He goes into detail as to how the research was conducted and how Quantitative Psychology and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) can be useful in understanding mental health problems in young people. Currently Madhav is a post-doctoral researcher at National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF). His research as a postdoc focuses broadly on the implications of suicide and self-harm related behaviour on public health and psychological well-being. He is also a Visiting Lecturer at Trinity College Dublin. Madhav can be contacted via LinkedIn or via his website: https://madhavbhargav9.wixsite.com/madhav  https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhavbhargav/ Finally, Madhav lets us know how he relaxes by reading, running and by being a “Coffee Nerd”. He plays out with a great song – a modern classic.  Enjoy.   The podcast is sponsored by Myndgard – we work with Therapy Clinics and their Clients to reach better outcomes in a faster, more insightful, secure, and trusted process using our Myndgard App and Cloud system. In particular Myndgard  manages Wait List Triage for Clinics.  We do this by building a useful Mental and Emotional model before the Client enters therapy, so reducing the Therapists workload.  We can identify Clients who need earlier intervention and help identify at risk clients while they are waiting. We also provide a Post Therapy relapse identification service, as earlier intervention brings a better outcome for the Client and the Clinic. Contact Dr Edel Crehan if you are a therapist or a Clinic who has issues with Wait Lists and their management https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-edel-crehan-27712015/ https://myndgard.com/   CREDITS: Music by Atomica Music Library iTunes: http://shorten.atomicamusic.com/iTunes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AtomicaMusic...

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Manus Hanratty, he is an experienced Technology Executive who has also worked in Social Entrepreneurship Projects, both nationally and Europe wide. Manus has worked at high levels in seminal Computer Companies such as Lotus, Netscape and AOL, all of which had significant impacts on the computing industry and, indeed, the world. He also has worked with ‘Fast Track to IT’, or FIT – a charity that helps unemployed people to learn computer skills and to start a career in the Industry, its been very successful throughout its history. The reason I asked Manus to come on the Podcast is about his concerns of the impact of online Bullying, Porn and Adult content on Children and Young Adults accessed by the medium of the Smart Phones. Manus spells out very clearly the danger and the actual damage that has been done and is happening now.  He then spells out his proposed solution which, I believe, has strong grounds to be considered.  I’ll leave it to you to make your mind up. Finally, we play out on an absolute classic tune, as always.

Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people in the Counseling field about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. This episode we talk to Dr Elena Herrera, who is a psychologist in San Jose, California.  Elena’s is based in Silicon Valley and her practice brings her many Techies, Engineers, and Programmers.  Typically, these people are working in highly stressful and highly paid jobs.  In some cases, these Clients may be on the neurodiverse spectrum.  These pressures and the types of personalities involved, mean that stress issues can manifest as relationship issues at home.  This is a big part of Elena’s work, and she talks through how she recognizes these patterns and how she helps Clients reduce their stress levels and maintain their family relationships. Thank you, Elena, for a very interesting and insightful commentary on how stress affects people in their modern lives and how you help them manage it. Elena also plays out with a great song! https://www.linkedin.com/in/elena-herrera-psy-d-9737024/   The podcast is sponsored by Myndgard – we work with Therapists and their Clients to reach better outcomes in a faster, more insightful, secure, and trusted process using our Myndgard system – we work with Private Clinics and with the Student Psychology Services of Third Level colleges helping manage Triage and Post Therapy Relapse.
