  • Prebz
    Hard to listen to
    The topics all look interesting, but I find the delivery so frustrating. Feels as if he sits down to record with only a general idea but no notes. Digressive, repetitive, lots of verbal tics, disorganized.
  • ️TNR supporter
    Interesting topics, needs a little improvement in podcasting presentation.
    Great topics, the background noises and podcasting style take away from it.
  • Radstorm25
    Review
    Love this podcast! I always listen to them at work and on my way to work. Incredible insight!
  • Isabel Calvert
    If I could give more stars than 5 I would
    One of the most interesting and educational shows I’ve listened to. From the information he delivers to the comfort in his voice, this podcast is an all around safe space with the most incredible host and necessary information about the human brain. I continue to learn with every episode. Thank you Dr. Nigro!
  • Diasporan in Armenia
    Really wanted to like this podcast
    The background noise is just too distracting to fully give the speaker my attention.
  • Temple Run !!<3
    Great information
    I love how informative this podcast is. I’ve learned something in every episode I’ve listened. And I’ve enjoyed reading the psychology book recommendations Dr gives from time to time. Never lacking of topics
  • CMEmpire5
    Background Noise
    I wish I could rate this much higher because the content itself seems great. However, the near constant background noise (shuffling papers, hitting the mic, moving things around, etc.) is so distracting and irritating. Especially for an educational psychology podcast.
  • ..The….Only
    Cut the wife
    Love this podcast. But the wife talking up drugs….. not what struggling people need.
  • amdona
    Distracting
    I actually like what he says and TRIED to listen but as mentioned by many, the background noises were just too much! Impossible to listen to with all the clanging and banging like a Cafe kitchen! It actually causes anxiety! Don't they understand how offsetting this is to people? Losing many listeners. The dishes and apples CAN WAIT until after the podcast! Or have the podcast in a DIFFERENT room with the door shut, for the love!
  • jncburgess
    Extremely Beneficial
    This podcast is very educational and helpful for anyone trying to better themselves or others. So genuinely heartfelt. Just great humans! Thank you so much for giving your time.
  • floowweerrrr
    Good content
    I've learn plenty from listening to thispodcast. How to handle situations and even how to handle individuals that suffer from mental illness. The host is great but I feel concern when his wife comes in and sometimes seems impolite.
  • Desert Parrothead
    Very Disappointing
    We all have a right to our opinion, but if you choose to gain knowledge from the Conversion Disorder episode, please be careful. The information seems to be incongruent with articles and studies I have read elsewhere. It seems to be one person’s opinion. (And the mic quality, background noise, and the “umms and uhhs” are very distracting).
  • Abbigale6767
    Very educational- would love to pick his brain
    I truly appreciate his perspective. I would love to hear what he hast to say about ADHD autism and FASD. these are all topics. I’m doing my thesis on. if you have any educational resources, Doc send them my way.
  • Hairy playypus
    Get 2 mics!!!!
    Ugh I want to give 5 stars but I can’t because your sound is bad with what appears 1 mic. If you are going to have a discussion between the 2 of you be prepared. It’s like the woman just walks in and interrupts and the Dr. is annoyed.
  • IGFGreat!!💗💗😍😍
    So helpful!
    This podcast is full of great information and knowledge! I really enjoy listening. My daughter is borderline personality and I have received so much insight! Thank you!
  • Sarahbellafoster
    I wish it was more structured.
    I think the information is great but for such intelligent people, the “ummms” and “uhs” in between almost every word KILLS ME and takes away from the content.
  • Athletic girl 17
    Consistently hits the nail right on the head
    Extremely educational, evidence-based and experience-based and not at all boring. Perfect mix of science, advocacy, and empathy. As a psychology undergrad who not only studies mental health and illness but also lives it, I appreciate this podcast so much. Wish Dr. Nigro was my professor. I will lean on these episodes though grad school for sure!!🫶🏽🧠🫂
  • BrittaChecketts
    Very helpful
    As someone that is married to a person with BPD, this podcast has helped me understand so much. Diving into to all the old episodes. Thank you🫶🏼
  • Menotu222
    Back ground noise
    Sounded interesting and wanted to listen!!! But distracted by background noise and wondering if it’s someone doing dishes!!!! How unprofessional! Than when the host asked his spouse to contribute she said no she was doing the dishes….. I’m out. The atmosphere needs to be done in a quieter more attentive, professional manner.
  • Joe Pennyroyal
    Interesting topics
    Topics are intriguing but the background noises of movement and bumping things is too distracting.
  • Honest Drunkard O'Malley
    Rambling, poorly informed, rushed, and disorganized
    A podcast this is not. Listen to the nervous breakdown episode. You’ll note that the hosts are delivering off the cuff and are totally over generalizing and are completely disorganized. Script, script, script! Outlines are critical for sharing information with audiences.
  • Velveeta313
    Stop Unloading the Dishwasher
    Oh good lord. This was painful to listen to. I cannot believe that they are just cleaning the house and doing the dishes while recording. It’s so ridiculous. Good therapists are hard to find and this guy falls into that classification too. Actually reminded me of a therapist I once had who was so distracted during my one session with him that he didn’t hear anything I said.
  • Dalzate19
    I love this podcast
    I am currently doing my BA in clinical psychology and just wanted to really have more information about psychology besides the one school provides me with. I just started listening to this channel from the very first episode and is like opening my mind in a way I didn’t know I could, thank you, I look forward to listen every episode!
  • batsemet
    Love
    I look forward to the Sunday releases. Both are great and they have a really good balance off each other. Very interesting and easy to understand.
  • Superior-wonderwoman
    It's good
    it's a good podcast. I like to listen and i it when i'm doing things. it's a good informational podcast and im enjoying it a lot.
  • Melohstar
    Podcast Etiquette
    This podcast is interesting, despite having heard some misinformation or outdated research. Podcast etiquette needs improving. There is so much background noise, rustling, etc. I find it hard to follow when there is so much movement going on in the background. Fix it, please!
  • slwch88
    This is such a no amazing reaource!
    Honestly this podcast should have CEUs. Very informative and interesting!
  • ngens
    Informative and entertaining!
    I am a newly licensed psychologist (just passed the EPPP) and have found this podcast to be an enjoyable way for me, as an early-career clinical psychologist, to think and learn more about a variety clinical topics. I recommend this podcast both to other mental health professionals and to those with with interest but little to no prior knowledge on mental health topics. Both Corey and Julie are informative, experienced, and charming. I especially love when they bicker with one another and find myself laughing out loud sometimes! #TeamJulie :)
  • jellington11
    Outdated, poor ethics
    The husband talks over the wife. Their dynamics are old school and gross. They also don’t seem to care much about brown people. If you want information from a perspective already informed on racial and gender inequality check out the Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology Podcast instead. If you want to hear from Boomers who are fine with not challenging their own inherent biases your fine here. 0/10.
  • Savin the world
    Pod helpful 🔥
    The podcast is very informative and helpful.
  • mikedapple
    Not evidence based
    This podcast is somewhat concerning, and given that having only listen to one episode, I identified three pieces of scientific misinformation. The podcast host seems to depend more on his opinion than empirical scientific evidence.
  • breezy19897
    Breezy
    Great podcast! Especially the most current episode about emotions running wild. Been dealing with it for over 15 years, and this episode has helped me put a lot of things into perspective. Corey and Julie both have great points on everything! Keep it up y’all 🩵
  • OKC31
    Corey and Julie are incredible humans
    I felt the same as most reviews here, the background noise, the little jabs that seem to be taken, the sarcasm started to annoy. But I came back and kept listening, and the background noise and their relationship dynamic started to become endearing and comforting. Even listening to them talk has become therapeutic. They are very genuine and Corey even took the time to call me for talk for a half an hour, a true act of kindness that for someone in despair makes them feel worthwhile. I only wish I lived closer so I could see them both in practice. Keep up the amazing work, it is very much appreciated!
  • WRW😂😆🥰😊👌🤙👍😝😃🤣
    Love it
    I'm only on the fourth episode and i'm already hooked! I started listening to this podcast bc i thought psychology would be fun to learn about, i just never knew how interesting it could actually be.
  • Apple20221
    Episodes not labeled correctly
    I was excited to have found this podcast and started listening to the social anxiety episode, it started out good but then the wife started speaking completely off topic. She rambled on and on about medications, about how to advocate for yourself when in a hospital etc, completely off topic, the husband even told her to please stay on topic but she ignored him and went on and on …. 15 mins later I couldn’t take it anymore and felt like I have wasted my time listening to this. Someone might be interested in her opinion about medications but please make this a different episode and label them correctly - a social anxiety podcast should be about social anxiety and not about your opinion on medication for all sorts of sicknesses.
  • thelibraryislife
    amazing
    this podcast is AMAZING. Ive been listening to it for a year. as someone whos suffered with mental health this has been so educational. great stuff on relationships too!! everyones talking about the background noise- it doesnt bother me. such high quality info that it makes up for it
  • ginagaliano
    Oh that back round noise!
    I’m surprised it’s so distracting because if I was actually there in your kitchen I don’t think it would bother me at all. It’s almost like a cat scratching a black board. Well maybe not that bad lol. It certainly doesn’t prevent me from listening to you guys. I just love you guys you’re doing absolutely amazing, amazing work. I’ve learned so much and I so appreciate both your generosity in giving us so much of your time!! I tell EVERYONE about your podcast as it is SO important for the world to be properly educated on us very complicated and complex humans! #springsteenrules
  • jacy joker
    Great!!!
    So for it is great. Keep listening!!
  • YCSFS
    Good content but speaker needs some training
    The content is pretty good but the speaker says “uh” so many times, and what he’s trying to say takes forever to come out - it is apparent he has a stutter and perhaps he has overcome it during his lifetime but he needs some more training in order to be a public speaker. I am patient but found I lost my patience listening to this, waiting for the information to be delivered on a more timely basis.
  • KruegerBend
    Background noise is horrible
    The content is great, but I almost cannot listen, because the speaker is constantly moving and making noise and it is extremely distracting. I would really love for the host to figure out how to lessen the background noise because it takes away from the wonderful content that he’s trying to share with his listeners.
  • imjenjame
    Authentic Host and Informative
    Thank you for the information. Thank you to the hose for simply wanting to help. I have not listened to any other podcast that is this real and helpful for me as a mother to a teenager who needs help.
  • Nallely1992
    Great Content
    The episodes are great, informative, and educational. However the background noise is distracting at times.
  • Bitty12345
    Listen!!!
    My absolute favorite podcast for mental health. They have so much knowledge and I truly feel like they care about everyone! 5 stars for sure!
  • Mcssssssss
    The content is good
    If you can forgive that the production quality is less than perfect, the content and information is worth listening to. The background noise is really rough though.
  • Delaine25
    Horrible audio, a lot of background noise
    I could not stand to finish the 6/11/2021 episode because of all the background noise. He was walking into his house, rubbing the cover to his microphone the entire episode, and even preparing food on ceramic plates. Please consider your listeners and work on a more professional podcast—use a quality microphone in a quiet room, and eliminate all this background noise. It is very distracting. This was the first time I listened to this show and the last.
  • Molly_LaurenP
    Disappointing
    I actually can’t believe that the hosts posted some of these episodes, given their behavior toward one another which is inappropriate for a podcast. The arguments are painful to listen to and Dr. Nigro is incredibly condescending to his wife.
  • More Orange
    Interesting Content
    Great content that is well conveyed. The background noises occur frequently, however. They are quite distracting and really detract from the quality of the podcast.
  • Mason_070715
    🖤
    I love this podcast. It’s changed my life. I’ve been misdiagnosed, and diagnosed and had diagnoses recanted and it’s been a mess. I’ve done a lot of work on my own, but he’s helped guide me through what is going on in my brain, what are actual symptoms of something, what they mean, I’m not just insane. I have emailed him but hasn’t responded yet, that’s okay. I listen as often as I can. Very informative, I love the discussions between the couple, some say they argue, I think it’s okay to have banter and debates and discussions and various opinions. I like the different points of view. I enjoy this and hope he continues
  • NaiveAndTired
    Podcast does not reflect his treatment of patients
    “Current” patient here: I cannot find literally anywhere else to leave reviews on this provider. And I feel like it’s important to provide his audience and other potential patients with my own experience. From my perspective it feels like he has prioritized podcast production and dodging emails and calls over patient care. I saw him 8 months ago (August 2022) for a neuropsychological assessment and was promised results after around 3 months (November 2022). During the test he speculated on if I truly had bipolar and ADHD. Which at the time I didn’t see as red flags, but looking back I can see that it was inappropriate. After contacting him in November 2022, he assured me it’d probably be a few more weeks. After which I was completely ghosted. I never received results. Despite providing generous space and boundaries (limiting emails to once a month, and calls to every few weeks, with very good natured messages) he didn’t respond to any of my voicemails or emails. I offered to provide more information, talk with insurance if that was an issue, but to no response. I had to get another provider involved with an authorization to disclose test results which at the time of writing, no luck. After contacting my insurance to see if a claim was made, I found out that he initially tried to charge $14,995. Charged a month after our initial appointment. Needless to say I informed them that I never had results sent to me. In fact, I had no documentation ever sent to me by him, so I can’t even confirm if what he charged my insurance lines up with the assessment I took during our appointment. After calling him from a different area code on 4/24 I finally got in contact, and he seemed annoyed. He said “Oh wow how did we let this slip for so long”, subtly passing the blame onto me as well despite my attempts to contact him. He assured me that he’d get the results to me on the morning of 4/25. Well, it’s 9:40PM and I have not gotten any calls, texts, emails or mail from him. Since my first appointment he’s released 35+ podcasts. Which is extremely frustrating, and I hope my steps to report him to the proper boards result in him taking some time to prioritize his patients and ethical obligations before anything else. I have a good support system and resources to help me figure this situation out. I can’t imagine being a patient stuck in this situation without those, and I sincerely hope I’m the odd one out here.
