About this listen

 Hosted by Libby Rivers, a passionate psychology and sociology scholar and student doctor of psychology, Neurotic Neurons is a space dedicated to exploring the intricacies of human behavior and mental health. We’ll explore various facets of theory and research, evidence-based interventions, and therapeutic modalities. Additionally, through genuine conversations and personal stories, we’ll also discuss the challenges of living with mental health issues in American society and the strategies and coping skills that help us navigate everyday life. Each episode features discussions on various topics related to psychology and mental health on the micro and macro levels. From personal insights and reflections to interviews with guests sharing their own journeys, Neurotic Neurons offer a unique blend of evidence-based practices, real-life experiences, and practical tools for anyone looking to improve or investigate their emotional well-being. What makes Neurotic Neurons different? It’s not just about theory or clinical perspectives—it’s about real people sharing real stories. We believe that mental health should be a conversation, not a stigma. Our goal is to create a supportive and informative community where listeners can find both inspiration and validation, no matter where they are on their mental health journey. We explore psychological concepts in an accessible way, connecting theory with everyday life in society. Hear from individuals who open up about their personal mental health experiences, sharing the coping skills and strategies that have worked for them. Each episode provides takeaways, from mindfulness techniques to actionable self-care tips. Join us!Libby Rivers Science Social Sciences
