Why we made Behind the Psych Sheds

There are a lot of different psychological therapies. Some of these differ greatly, some of them are essentially variations of the same approach. We have talked to lots of people who have had experience - and have both had experience ourselves - of finding this all quite baffling. The language of psychological therapy is also full of jargon. How would you choose between therapists who call themselves existential, Jungian, cognitive behavioural, or humanistic?

We thought we would ask the therapists themselves. We also felt like we had (just) enough knowledge ourselves to ask the right questions. Our aim is to inform anyone who is interested about the psychological therapies we investigate in the hope that you come away with a better idea of what they entail and can make more informed choices.

We hope you enjoy the podcast.
