Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall Psychology of jealousy

In this episode of Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall, the hosts explore the psychology of jealousy from multiple perspectives, starting with evolutionary theories from David Buss and moving into attachment styles, cognitive patterns, and self-esteem. They break down how jealousy isn’t just about relationships, but about how we think, interpret, and protect our sense of self. The conversation then shifts into the modern world, where social media, algorithms, and constant digital connection have transformed how jealousy shows up in everyday life. With real-world examples and a counseling lens, Doug and Kendall challenge listeners to rethink jealousy—not as proof of love, but as a signal of deeper emotions shaped by both the mind and the environment

Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall Psychology of Attraction

In this episode of Naked Psychology, Doug and Kendall explore the fascinating psychology of attraction and why we are drawn to certain people. They discuss how factors like physical appearance, similarity, proximity, and emotional connection influence who we find appealing, while also unpacking the science behind concepts like the halo effect, the mere exposure effect, and reciprocity. Doug brings the research perspective, explaining how biology and cognitive psychology shape attraction, while Kendall adds a counseling lens on how attachment styles and emotional needs influence relationships. Together they challenge common myths about attraction and show that what draws people together is far more complex than just looks or chemistry.

Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall I saw the whole thing.

In this episode of Naked Psychology, Doug and Kendall explore the powerful phrase, “I witnessed the whole thing,” and unpack what psychology really says about perception and memory. While we often trust what we see as objective truth, research shows that human perception is filtered through emotion, attention, expectations, and past experience. Doug explains how memory is reconstructive—not a perfect recording—while Kendall brings a counseling perspective on how differing interpretations can fuel relationship conflicts and misunderstandings. Together, they challenge the assumption that confidence equals accuracy and encourage listeners to consider a more compassionate question: not who is right, but how each person experienced what happened.
