Quick Spoon: The path of least resistance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What's driving the choices we make at work? In my conversation with Dr Ryan Kemp, we were talking about addiction and how a person's experience of time can become compressed around the immediate. Ryan described part of his therapeutic role as helping people with addictions to expand that time horizon — to consider not just the immediate consequences of their actions, but the medium- and longer-term implications. That got me thinking about something I see quite often in my own work: the path of l
Quick Spoon: The pull of the immediate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How often do we get pulled towards what's going to give us relief or reward right now ? In this Quick Spoon, Dr Ryan Kemp describes how addiction can change someone's experience of time, so that the immediate becomes much more important than what might happen in the future. I'm not suggesting that ordinary human behaviour is the same as addiction. But Ryan's insight got me thinking about something we can all recognise: the difficult conversation we put off, the easier option we choose, or the sh
When the future gets smaller: Dr Ryan Kemp on addiction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What can addiction teach us about being human? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Ryan Kemp , a clinical psychologist and Director of Therapies at a large NHS Trust. Ryan is also an author and Honorary Professor of Clinical Practice at Brunel, University of London. Ryan has worked in the field of addiction for more than 20 years.

Quick Spoon: Recovery isn't the opposite of performance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We often think about recovery as something we do after the productive work is finished. But when is the work ever really finished? In this People Soup Quick Spoon, Dr Amanda Super challenges that assumption: “Recovery is productive.” Amanda suggests that self-compassion isn't just something we think about — we need to act on it. And that can include taking care of some of the basics of our physical wellbeing and building opportunities for recovery into the working day. Ross explores what that mi
Quick Spoon: You can be kind to yourself AND ambitious (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being kind to yourself doesn't mean lowering your standards. In this People Soup Quick Spoon , Dr Amanda Super challenges the idea that self-compassion and ambition are somehow incompatible. Amanda shares what she learned from comparing her experience of her Master's degree with her doctorate ten years later, after developing self-compassion. She was still ambitious. Still driven. Still wanting to achieve. But she wasn't doing it at the cost of herself. So perhaps the question isn't whether we s
