Über den Podcast
🎙️ Psychology, Actually with Dr Marianne Trent is a podcast about what’s really going on beneath the surface of our lives. Through conversations with psychologists, professionals, and inspiring guests, we explore the psychology shaping our work, our relationships, and our inner worlds bringing together clinical insight with genuine human understanding. This show was previously known as The Aspiring Psychologist Podcast, and while it continues to support aspiring and qualified psychologists, it has grown into something broader. Because psychology doesn’t just shape our careers, it influences how we parent, how we grieve, how we connect, and how we cope when life doesn’t go to plan. Alongside expert interviews, Dr Marianne Trent shares reflective solo episodes - making sense of complex human experiences with compassion, curiosity, and clarity. Featuring conversations with leading voices in psychology including Professor Paul Gilbert, Dr Lucy Johnstone, and Dr Martha Deiros Collado - the podcast brings together a range of perspectives on what it means to live, work, and think psychologically. New episodes are released every Monday at 6am (UK time). Whether you’re an aspiring psychologist, a qualified practitioner, or simply someone interested in understanding yourself and others more deeply, this podcast offers thoughtful conversations that stay with you. If you value the show please rate and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Shownotes
Can someone watch a lot of porn or have a lot of sex without it being a problem? The key may be less about how often someone does something and more about whether it still feels like a choice.
In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Maurizio Alvarez to explore compulsive sexual behaviour, problematic pornography use, chemsex, shame and loss of control. They discuss how these difficulties can present in therapy, the role of loneliness, boredom, emotional regulation and neurodiversity, and how early exposure to pornography may shape our understanding of sex and intimacy. They also explore consent, sexual health, relationships, the manosphere and what effective treatment for compulsive sexual behaviour can look like.

Shownotes
Are you the same person at work, at home and around your closest friends? The psychology of personality is far more complex than simply putting people into categories or personality types. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Martyn Quigley to explore what personality really means, whether it can be measured, and how much our behaviour is shaped by the situations we find ourselves in.
They discuss the person–situation debate, individual differences, implicit personality theories, the Big Five, Myers-Briggs, and why our everyday judgements about other people can sometimes be surprisingly accurate. They also explore how personality can change over time and why understanding individual differences can help us better understand ourselves and others.

Can a baby have mental health before they can even talk? The earliest months of life may shape far more than most of us realise. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Charlotte Dunster-Page to explore infant mental health, attachment and bonding, and what can happen when early parenting doesn't go to plan. They discuss why the first 1,001 days matter, how to spot when a parent or baby might need extra support, and why bonding often takes time. Charlotte also explains the treatment options available, including video interaction guidance and Circle of Security, and busts common myths about baby sleep. If you're worried about your bond with your baby, this conversation is a reassuring reminder that you are not alone.

Can you deeply love the child you have and still grieve the child you imagined? That shame-filled question is far more common than you think. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Nina Francis to explore why gender disappointment might be the wrong term and how RIFIs, Rupture of an Imagined Future due to infant sex, better explain the grief, identity, dark hope, and limerence many parents experience. Dr Nina shares her personal story, her PhD research, the 7-stage model towards acceptance, and what a truly helpful response from a GP, midwife or psychologist sounds like.

Shownotes
What does an IQ score actually tell us about a person and what can it miss? The answer is far more complicated than a single number, especially when we consider strengths, weaknesses, culture, education and real-world ability.
In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent joins Dr Keith Jenkins to explore the history and evolution of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), what IQ scores really measure, and how the WAIS-5 can provide a more detailed picture of cognitive abilities. They discuss cognitive assessment, working memory, processing speed, reasoning, dyslexia, traumatic brain injury, dementia and the impact of factors such as anxiety, fatigue, sleep and language. They also explore why two people can have the same IQ but very different cognitive profiles, and why IQ alone cannot determine how successful someone will be. The conversation looks at WAIS-5 UK, cultural and linguistic considerations, practice effects, and the future of intelligence testing.

Shownotes
Would you take a pay cut for a job that looks worse on paper? Sometimes the move that feels like a step backwards is exactly what your career needs next. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent explores when a sideways or seemingly backwards career move, like dropping from a Band 5 to a Band 4 assistant psychologist role, could actually help you grow. Drawing on a real Reddit case study and her own career journey, including nearly two years spent away from psychology altogether, Marianne unpacks how to weigh pay, experience, wellbeing and life circumstances when deciding your next move. She shares a practical framework for working out what you're really optimising for, whether that's money, learning, time or relationships, plus reflective questions to help you decide with confidence.

Replaying your worst interview answer on a loop? You're not alone and it probably says less about you than you think.

Why can being signed off work feel like you're doing something wrong, even when you know you're genuinely unwell? Resting can become tangled up with guilt, productivity, and self-worth. In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores why we compare ourselves to colleagues, feel the need to prove we're ill, struggle to switch off from work, and find it difficult to give ourselves permission to rest and recover.

Shownotes
Could one badly judged email, social media post, or rough patch at work put your psychology career at risk before it even begins? In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent joins Nicholas Stöckling to explore fitness-to-practice proceedings for trainee psychologists and other pre-qualified healthcare professionals.
They unpack what actually triggers FTP concerns, how the process differs across universities, why communication issues and unmanaged health conditions are common flashpoints, and how neurodivergent trainees can be disproportionately affected. Nicholas shares practical advice on social media conduct, self-disclosure, engaging with proceedings, and when to seek legal support. A must-listen for trainees, supervisors, and anyone supporting students through clinical training.

Shownotes
Could you spot a psychopath before it's too late, or does their charm switch off the very part of your brain that would warn you?
In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by Dr Emma Kavanagh to explore the psychology of psychopathy, why charismatic people can trigger the "guru effect" in our brains, and how love bombing, gaslighting, and trauma bonding trap people in damaging relationships.
Emma, author of The Psychopath Effect, explains the real traits behind psychopathy, meanness, boldness, and disinhibition and why psychopaths are far more likely to be charming colleagues or partners than violent criminals.
They discuss what it's like growing up with a psychopathic parent, how psychopaths behave differently depending on your value to them, and the subtle nonverbal signals that can give them away. A fascinating, myth-busting conversation for anyone interested in psychology, relationships, and personal safety.

Shownotes
What do you do when someone you love is struggling, but you can’t fix what they’re going through? In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores the importance of holding hope, focusing on what we can control and responding to distress with compassion rather than shame.
Drawing on psychology, systemic therapy and personal reflections, Marianne discusses how curiosity, understanding and compassion can help us support others while accepting the limits of what we can change.

What actually helps someone recover from anorexia?
After developing anorexia as a teenager, Tiffany Luxford spent approximately two years receiving inpatient treatment. Today, she is fully recovered and using her lived experience to improve how eating disorders are understood and supported. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Tiffany joins Dr Marianne Trent to share what genuinely helped her recover, what she wishes had been different during treatment, and why compassion, connection and feeling understood matter.
Together, they explore the emotional distress behind eating disorders, the role of trauma, control and self-criticism, and why separating the person from the eating disorder can help reduce shame and blame. Whether you have experienced an eating disorder, are supporting someone through recovery or work within mental health services, this conversation offers valuable insight and hope.

Stop Waiting To Be Chosen | The Psychology of Taking Control - Inner Work

Shownotes
Are you waiting to be chosen… or are you choosing yourself?
How often do we wait for permission before pursuing the life we really want? Whether it's applying for a new job, reaching out to someone we admire, asking for help or taking the first step towards a goal, it can feel safer to wait for someone else to notice us.
In this episode of Inner Work, I reflect on one of the biggest ideas to emerge from my conversation with Clinical Psychologist Cliff Hawkins: the importance of agency, self-belief and learning to raise your hand rather than waiting to be picked.Together, we explore why confidence often follows action, how small acts of courage can change the direction of our lives, and why nobody is coming to rescue us—but that might actually be empowering rather than frightening.
If you've ever wondered whether you're holding yourself back, this gentle reflection is for you.

Are soft skills more important than qualifications?
When people think about building a successful psychology career, it's easy to focus on degrees, experience and technical expertise. But what if the qualities that matter most are the ones we don't always put on our CV?
In this episode of Psychology, Actually, I'm joined by Clinical Psychologist Cliff Hawkins to explore why reliability, curiosity, communication, professionalism and emotional intelligence may be the real ingredients of a successful psychology career.
Whether you're an aspiring psychologist hoping to secure your first Assistant Psychologist post, a trainee navigating placements, or an experienced clinician wanting to reflect on what makes teams truly thrive, this conversation is packed with practical insights and honest reflections.
We explore why fresh perspectives matter, how transferable skills can become your biggest strength, why confidence sometimes grows through taking opportunities rather than waiting for them, and why being dependable may be one of the most underrated professional skills of all.
If you've ever wondered whether you're "enough", questioned what you really bring to a team, or worried that everyone else knows more than you do, this episode is for you.
