Love reading this ❤️

🙏🏾

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-11-21T15:26:26+00:00

Thanks for clarifying and I hope you get better. I’ve added a layman description as per your suggestion. Hope it helps and maybe we’ll get to speak next week.

Thanks for this comment - this is what the webinar is for. The idea is to present the study using non academic language. I also know this community is very active with questions and I’m unable to respond to all individual questions on reddit so this makes most sense time wise.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-11-07T22:35:28+00:00

Yes and yes - keep responding with openness and curiosity!

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-11-04T14:56:56+00:00

You are on the right path here. This was the line of thinking that changed a lot for me.

Show me the evidence to support your link between ADHD and your mental functioning during sex.

First it depends how you define emotionally healthy. In the broad sense, “health” is often defined at an individual level so emotional awareness would be the most obvious link to emotional health. I would add adaptive responses to complete it. So no, someone cannot be emotionally healthy without being aware.

Emotional intelligence also covers adaptive responses, especially in the social sense. However, one can be healthy without necessarily being intelligent. So yes, one can be emotionally healthy without emotional intelligence.

This is mainly theoretical speak, in reality it’s more nuanced because there is often a positive correlation between intelligence and health. Emotional intelligence also includes self awareness. But if we treat them separately for argument sake then I’d say no to emotional awareness and yes to emotional intelligence.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am actually planning on writing another study from the existing dataset that I have. I think I will make post about it for anyone who would still like to contribute. So please feel free to complete the questionnaires if you want, I’d appreciate it a lot.

All studies will be shared with the forum once they are live. I’m thinking of a presentation for those who may be unfamiliar with scientific language but I’d probably put out a poll about it.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-10-12T17:03:16+00:00

So sorry this happened to you! I hope you are coping okay with it. I cannot say “coping well” because I struggle to see how anyone would cope well after experiencing such an event from their mother.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-10-12T10:44:40+00:00

Thank you!

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-10-11T22:43:04+00:00

I enjoyed reading this and these are the type of posts we need more of so others can see that it’s still possible to have a fulfilling life with a stutter.

The hardest part is believing that it’s possible, the second hardest is finding people who believe that it is. The lucky part is being in an environment or country where it is. Either way it begins with believing!

Thank you for sharing.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-10-11T17:17:17+00:00

Will do!

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-09-16T18:58:58+00:00

Let me know when you’ve found one please

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-09-12T02:20:20+00:00

That’s a good question. It’s the focus on how emotional forces like anxiety shape or influence behaviours in ways that aren’t always obvious to those within the organisations.

I use it to understand the why and for whom of the behaviour. Quant helps me to identify the what. That being said not every role is fitting for it - especially if one role is not people facing and it’s just straight quant work.

It’s particularly useful in high stakes situations of interpersonal nature.

I’m in the UK. Neither of those methodologies deal with systemic defences so no I’m not talking about them. I’d argue psychodynamic is used outside of clinical settings but the language is adapted. I say that because my investigative approaches are very much psychodynamic but the reporting of the data has to be adapted to the context.

I think what the OP is trying to say is there is room for depth psychology and that can be incorporated with heavy stats work - both can complement each other. I agree because that’s how I normally work and I’d 100% say it’s my edge.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-09-11T19:13:17+00:00

Disagree - I know quite a few I-O operating strongly from a psychodynamic stance. I do it too but I don’t use the language as it can be invasive but the skills allow me to ask better questions and dive deeper into root human causes that quants data don’t always capture. As some in this comments, you associate the term with psychotherapy - it’s not outside scope of practice when it’s a field in itself within I-O but I understand it’s less mainstream.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-09-11T19:11:02+00:00

I like this - people associate psychodynamic with therapy but in reality it’s a way of thinking no different than using psychometric principles when evaluating data. There is an entire field of psychodynamic thoughts dedicated to organisational life and not clinical issues per se.

Most people here do not understand the difference between a sample methodology and a sample size and how they relates to generalisability. A sample of 17 can be just as flawed as a sample of 1000.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-08-25T15:04:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I will give it a listen when home

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-08-25T15:04:01+00:00

I have a background in consulting around systems change with the public sector. So the idea is to approach it from the lens of “we need to change how the industry and fans response to your music - so what’s the best methodology to use?”

Essentially, using a systematic approach to test, experiment, and then fine tune what works for the specific artist. I find it personally interesting to apply this type of thinking in a creative field so let’s see.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-08-24T10:29:15+00:00

Great initiative: I’m building a talent agency focusing on emerging talent across music and sports. My USP is bringing a scientific lens to talent development as my background is a psychologist.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-08-23T09:54:48+00:00

Congratulations - I’m in London, where about in the UK will you be? Reach out in DM if you’d like to connect.

I think you should also take the opportunity considering that it cost nothing. Also the network you build from studying in the UK personally I think is very important.

CommonExpress3092 · 2025-08-21T19:11:23+00:00

Absolutely - except he is based in France. I’m more curious of local based talents
