Summary

551. In this special "passing of the baton" episode, founding host Dr. Ellen Hendriksen welcomes the newest voice of Savvy Psychologist, Dr. Judy Ho. Dr. Ho is a triple board-certified clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, a tenured professor at Pepperdine University, and the author of "Stop Self-Sabotage" and "The New Rules of Attachment". Together, they dive into the fascinating world of forensic psychology and the critical importance of making mental health research accessible to everyone. Highlights from the conversation include: Behind the scenes in the courtroom : Dr. Ho explains her role as an expert witness and how law and psychology intersect during high-stakes trials. The science of self-sabotage : Discover why self-sabotage is actually rooted in evolutionary biology and protective instincts rather than a desire to fail. Modernizing attachment theory : An exploration of how attachment styles impact adults under stress and the importance of co-regulation. Busting mental health myths : The duo discusses the dangers of toxic positivity and why it is essential to allow space for normal negative emotions like sadness or boredom. The generation gap : Dr. Ho shares her observations on the next generation of thinkers and the trend of over-introspection that can inadvertently lead to negative self-focus. Join us for this insightful transition as Dr. Ho prepares to lead the show into its next chapter. Have a mental health question?
