Doctor Psycho – Details, episodes & analysis

Today, we will dive into the psychology of awkwardness. Why does it exist? What function does it serve? Finally, my favorite tips for how to navigate out of or diffuse and awkward moment so that you may live to fight another day.

Have you ever had a stalker?

- 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men have had at least 1 stalker in their lifetime

- 3 in 4 victims know their stalkers in some capacity

- Today we will talk about a case that just happened this week, a Texas stalker that drove 2,600 miles from Houston to Redmond Washington to kill his victim and her husband

- This case has a modern spin to it- the victim had a podcast, and the stalker was one of her fans.

- We lie In a world where 5 million podcasts exist, so are we not statistically likely to see this thing happen more and more?

- Also the 1 sided relationship between a podcaster and their fans is quite imbalanced.

- I myself am a fan of podcasts, and understand the intimate, yet 1 sided relationship that can be built. After all, we listen to countless hours of a podcasters voice and their musings. How could that NOT create a sense of familiarity?

- I have talked to fans of my own work who blow me away with the details they pick up about me from listening to this show

- Meanwhile, I have never met them before, and usually had no clue of their existence prior to meeting them.

- The story you are about to hear is a case of what happens when the podcaster/podcaster fan relationship goes horribly wrong.

- This episode is for Joey, a patron of the show who brought this story to my attention, thank you Joey.

Joe and Love are raising their baby in a plastic, suburban life. So normal, they even have a couple’s therapist. But Joe can't help but reach back to his former life. 

Let's get into the psychology of stalking and murderous mayhem!

People have been writing me asking for help for how to deal with the coronavirus

Like you, I’m deeply concerned about the state of where things are. 

To make myself feel better, for lack of knowing any viral pathologists, I asked two of the smartest people I know about their take on the coronavirus.

This was initially a private conversation among friends, but about halfway through, we decided that if sharing this conversation helps educate people about how to protect themselves, then we should post it to UPC and encourage people to reach out to us with questions or stories they might have. 

What you’re about to hear is a conversation between a therapist, tech expert, and a medical researcher. While none of us are viral pathologists, we are professional researchers in our own right.
