Ep.6 - Shaking off the January blues: top tips for a brighter start to the New Year - Dr Daria Kuss
Happy New Year... or is it? 🤔
Many of us find January the most difficult month of the year, and there’s a reasonable explanation as to why we might be feeling so low. January brings with it short days, icy temperatures, a long wait for payday, and - sometimes - unachievable New Year’s Resolutions.
In this episode of the Re:search Re:imagined podcast, we talk to Dr Daria Kuss, a Chartered Psychologist from the School of Social Sciences, about what we can do to tackle the January Blues and get 2023 off to the best possible start.

Ep.5 - Slots of fun: The inside track on behavioural addiction - Professor Mark Griffiths
We typically think of addiction as involving drink or drugs, but what about the internet, video games, work, sex, or even exercise – can we be addicted to activities such as these? In this episode of the Research Reimagined podcast, we speak to distinguished NTU professor, Dr Mark Griffiths, who is an expert in behavioural addiction. Mark gives the lowdown on how someone might become addicted to a feeling or behavior, as opposed to a substance, and what the common behavioural addictions are. He also answers the question as to whether we overuse the word ‘addiction’.

Ep.1 - Can you drive out evil? Breaking the silence on exorcisms, religious freedom and consent - Dr Reverend Helen Hall
There’s been a surprising surge in exorcisms in recent years. The thought of exorcisms may bring to mind scenes from horror movies like "The Exorcist" - but how accurate are these depictions?
