Deep dives

Systemic biases in therapy for men

Therapy may not be as effective for men due to systemic biases in the field. The majority of patients and therapists in psychotherapy are women. The emphasis on talking about emotions in therapy may be more suited to women, while men tend to express emotions through actions rather than words. Men may feel outgunned in couples counseling and struggle to effectively articulate their feelings in therapy.

I used to use a different app that was able to save excerpts from podcast and really enjoyed it. I could listen to the podcast and quickly save things that I wanted to come back to later. Snipd take this to a whole new level with AI integration, creating summaries of podcasts and summarizing the main takeaways from what I’ve saved and snipped. I really love how it helps me prioritize what podcast to listen to with it summaries & deep dives.
