Hello and welcome to the Coffee with your Therapist Podcast, the podcast where we talk with people, who have an interest in Mental Health, about their careers, their work, and the music they like, all in 20 minutes. In this show we talk to Dr John Francis Leader, also known as JFL, who is a consulting psychologist, psychotherapist and cognitive scientist who specialises in communications, experiential learning and mixed reality therapy,  John assists people in successfully navigating the physical, the virtual and the imaginary. We had a great conversation covering the wide range of areas that John is working in, including Psychotherapy, Experiential Psychology , Technology and Policy areas. We talk about the Intersection of Technology and Mental Health and how one influences the other, for good, for bad and how we can manage it and get the most out of it. John has some very interesting terms that he uses such as the Experiential Diet and how that should be balanced to lead to a happier and more satisfying life. Finally, John picks a great song to play out on by one of our most underestimated Song Writers that is both clever and reflective on a situation we are all familiar with.  Enjoy!
