Evidence-Based: A New Harbinger Psychology Podcast

New Harbinger has been publishing clinical psychology workbooks for decades, and this podcast is basically the audio version of their catalog, which is a good thing if you are tired of self-help that skips the research. Each episode features a working clinician, usually a New Harbinger author, talking through a specific topic with actual studies behind it. Attachment comes up regularly, often in the context of ACT, EFT, or schema therapy, and the hosts do a decent job of translating the jargon without dumbing it down too far. This is not comfort listening. Episodes run long, the pace is measured, and the guests frequently pause to clarify terms or push back on a question. That said, if you have ever read an attachment book and wanted to hear the author explain the same ideas in their own voice, this is the closest thing to it. The back catalog is around a hundred episodes, and while new releases have slowed down recently, the library is still worth mining. Useful picks include episodes on emotion regulation, polyvagal theory applied to relationships, and the overlap between anxious attachment and complex trauma. A good counterweight if most of your podcast diet is coaches and memoirs rather than clinicians.
