Season 3, Episode 36: Stages of Change- The Transtheoretical Model
This past semester, I taught a graduate-level class in Addictions Counseling. In this class, I frequently promoted the Transtheoretical Model. This episode will discuss the Transtheoretical Model (also called Stages of Change) and how the model can be applied to changing a behavior (whether it be quitting an addiction or starting a new habit).

Season 3, Episode 33: Parasocial Relationships
Sidenote: It's been so long since I've podcasted, I'm rusty This episode, recorded on Father's Day, riffs briefly about fatherhood and mental health (while making a cool announcement) before delving into parasocial relationships. We discuss what parasocial relationships are using diverse examples such as Dora the Explorer, Taylor Swift, and social media influencers.Â

Season 3, Episode 32: Self-Diagnosis
This is a snow day episode (meaning I was able to record it since school was cancelled due to inclement weather). In this episode, I discuss pros and cons of diagnosing yourself with a mental health condition (while also introspectively exploring whether I should self-diagnose with autism). Please let me know your thoughts!
