  • Existential Psychotherapy Part 2: Freedom

    Existential Psychotherapy Part 2: Freedom
    Feb 23 2026
    Today Margaret and I take on our own freedom in today’s episode, which is part 2 of a 4-part series on Existential Psychotherapy. The existential postulate that we are all ultimately free to make our own decisions (and therefore must live with those decisions) can be a source of distress but also a path to the pursuit of a meaningful life - it all comes down to how you go about it. And we will chat about it all, freely.

  • How would bringing back long term psych care look? (and is it a good idea?)

    How would bringing back long term psych care look? (and is it a good idea?)
    Feb 9 2026
    In this episode, we explore the current political climate and the possibility of the return of institutionalized mental health care. Though this is not a political podcast (I think Preston says that 5 times) , all of medicine is political,and it’s important to discuss the overlap. Tune in to the Patreon section to directly support the creators and for more discussion about how institutionalization is handled in other countries!

    In this episode, which could be titled “Neurocognitive Assessments for Silly, Cool, Fun People” (that’s us—we are the silly, cool, fun people), Margaret and I describe five neurocognitive domains often used in psychometric testing. We also cover the associated simple yet elegant tests you can do at the bedside.
