De Podcast Psycholoog (with Jacotte Brokken)

Let's be honest, there is no shortage of therapeutic podcasts. But perhaps there is a lack of podcasts that take psychology seriously. Like De Podcast Psycholoog by Marissa van der Sluis and Leonie van Dijk. Marissa is a psychologist herself, and when she taught at the University of Amsterdam, she at one point asked herself why she only shared her knowledge with students. “The same thing happened when I was treating clients. Why don't we provide people with more information about anxiety, how it occurs, and what works, and what doesn't? Why don't we share that knowledge until it's too late?”

And so De Podcast Psycholoog was born, in which Marissa explores a psychological topic in each episode with the help of Leonie and an expert. From ADHD to dating to all sorts of phobias, the podcast delves into a wide variety of topics and offers tips on how to deal with them daily.

At the festival, both Belgian weather woman Jacotte Brokken and her psychologist Lennart will join Marissa to talk about the impact of bullying - not coincidentally the subject of their brand new VRT MAX podcast Niemand vindt u leuk.

This live taping is in Dutch. With the support of the Dutch Embassy.
