This podcast is such a blessing as it provides a super important, and little discussed, piece of the puzzle to increased peace and understanding out our internal selves. Add it to your rotation for sure

What an insightful conversation! Loretta is a fantastic host! I highly enjoyed the listen.

Dr Breuning breaks down cognitive science and mental wellness so simply, and in such a human way. Love the show, highly recommend if you’re looking to understand your own brain better to live a better life! -Michael B

About 15-20 minutes into the Climbing out of a Hole episode the host gets stuck on somewhat arguing with the guest about their past therapy experiences. The guest mentions that they asked therapists about next steps and there wasn’t really a plan. The host says that the therapy client is supposed to suggest the next steps (really?), and asks the guest if he never asked about that (even though he already said he did)…What a weird 5 minutes.

I got lost in all the one upping

Weird that this is called The Happy Brain because the scientist doesn’t seem very happy. Also, equine therapy is definitely not about viewing the horse as a perfect or superior being, that’s ridiculous. It’s clear the scientist prioritizes individuality and not the beauty of collectivism and community.

I love this podcast because it’s easy and practical digestible advice from a variety of experts in their field on how they apply the Happy Brain principles.

Each podcast provides a fun and unique understanding to feelings and the underlying cause of actions. Life from the mammalian brain point of view. I look forward to each one!

What an incredibly informative show. If you want to improve your mood, attitude, and overall disposition, this podcast is for you! The host is extremely knowlegeable.

I heard the host being interviewed on another podcast (wish I could remember where... Brain Candy, maybe?) and decided to subscribe to their podcast. So glad I did. So informative. So interesting. An excellent experience all around.

Dr. Breuning’s topics always fascinate me. I wish more psychiatrists and psychologists concentrated on neuroplasticity and creating peaceful, loving, and positive new connections after psychological trauma. Thank you!

People must hear this and learn about these important topics.

If you want to understand why you and everyone else do what they do you need to listen to this podcast. Professor Breuning is clearly a wealth of knowledge on this subject, both technical and practical. Thank you for sharing your gift and please keep it up!

Dr. Breuning clearly explains the science of the brain in a way that we can all understand. When we understand the natural processes of the brain, we can start to understand the instinctive reasons that we do what we do. When we understand the instinctive processes, we can begin to make better choices. We can soothe our inner mammal and free ourselves from reactivity. Love this podcast!
