  • Résumé

  • Season Three is coming soon! What Are We Like is a podcast series with the goal of understanding a little more about ourselves and others. Join hosts Áine Maher and Ruth Jephson every Thursday as they focus on rethinking and unpacking some of the weird and wonderful aspects of being a human. Why do we do the things we do? Why do we feel this way? Why do other people act like that? What are we like?! That’s what this podcast is all about. With the help of Áine’s neuroscience and psychology background, they’ll both share what they know, and explore what they don’t, to leave you with a fresh perspective of your own behaviour, and the behaviour of those around you.

    20: Stop Complaining, It Could Be Worse: Unpacking Comparative Suffering
    Jan 26 2023

    “Work is really stressful at the moment, but I know I shouldn’t complain. At least I have a job and a roof over my head; others aren’t so lucky.” Why do we feel the need to attach these disclaimers to our struggles?

    In our season finale, Ruth has a clip from an Adele interview she wants Áine’s take on. In response, the two dive into the concept of ‘Comparative Suffering’, and share some of their own experiences of depressive episodes.

    Is a bit of tough love what some people need when feeling depressed? Or is this approach a fundamental misunderstanding of what it’s like to deal with mental health difficulties.

    Here’s where you can find the video Áine talks about in relation to ‘Mental Health Privilege’: https://theprivilegeproject.org/privileges/mental-health/

    19: Unpacking Anxiety
    Jan 19 2023

    Mental health can be a tricky topic to get our heads around at times. Lack of understanding can leave us feeling demotivated around trying things that can help us manage different experiences. The more we know, the better equipped we are when different things come up for us or for those around us. This week Áine and Ruth look to clarify and demystify anxiety with the help of the trusty tools of psychology and neuroscience, as well as some of their own experiences.

    18: Superstitious Minds: Unpacking a Listener Email
    Jan 12 2023

    Friday the 13th is upon us, and what better time to take a look at all things superstition. Áine and Ruth have been holding onto a listener email for just the occasion, and get into where superstitions come from, how they’ve been passed down, and how they can be reinforced in our brains.
