Do you think in one dimension? Or two dimensions? Or maybe even three?
I kick off this episode of the podcast with some reflection on Tim Urban's article, The Thinking Ladder from Wait But Why and his insight into multidimensional thinking - the what and the why of human behaviour. I then get chatting to my guest, Dr Jarrod White, who most certainly thinks in at least two dimensions. In fact it's the why of human behaviour that drives him, his work and his passion for spreading the word about emotional wellbeing and human potential to a wider audience.
Jarrod is a Melbourne-based clinical psychologist and the co-founder of The Lives of Others, an Instagram platform that allows followers to share their mental health and mental ill-health stories. While Jarrod works one-on-one with clients as a psychologist and runs group workshops for The Mind Room, he's also curious about the potential and future possibilities for mental health and wellbeing.
In this conversation we ask the questions:
•How do we 'scale up' conversations about wellbeing and mental health?
•Where are the opportunities to provide mental health and wellbeing services in different formats to traditional one-on-one therapy?
•How can we reach bigger groups and different audiences?
•What are we missing by keeping psychologists in a therapy room?
•What is the role of mental health conversation in our community, our professions, our industries and our political arena?
It's a conversation that aligns beautifully with the purpose of the Potential Psychology Podcast and I'm very excited to bring it to you.
