About
Why Listen?
The Science of Psychotherapy explores the science behind mental health, human connection, and living well in a complex world.
Drawing on neuroscience, biology, psychotherapy, and integrative perspectives, we offer grounded sense-making, clear explanations of how our minds and bodies work, and simple, practical ways to apply these insights in everyday life.
Whether you’re a mental health professional deepening your practice or someone simply curious about psychology, personal growth, and what helps (or hinders) wellbeing, our weekly show provides orientation, insight, and small experiments you can try right away.
After 14 years of serving therapists with in-depth professional development, interviews, and courses, we’re now opening the door wider — inviting everyone interested in thinking clearly, feeling more grounded, and navigating life with greater awareness and humanity.
Join us as we make sense of ourselves and the world together.
