The Psychology of Us with Professor RJ Starr explores the fascinating world of human behavior, relationships, and shared experiences. Hosted by acclaimed psychology educator and author Professor RJ Starr, this podcast makes psychology relatable and engaging, breaking down complex ideas into practical insights. Each episode combines storytelling, science, and education to help you better understand yourself and others. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a lifelong learner, or simply curious, this is your space to explore the "why" behind what we do. Join the conversation about us, for us.
At its core, The Psychology of Us is about connection—how we relate to others, how we see ourselves, and how those two things shape the world we live in. From everyday moments to cultural shifts, each topic is approached through a psychological lens grounded in research but told in a way that feels human. It's not about textbook theory. It's about how those theories play out in the messiness of real life.
Expect deep dives into topics like emotional intelligence, identity formation, trauma and healing, decision-making, social dynamics, and the unconscious forces that drive our behavior. But this isn't just an academic lecture. It's personal. Professor Starr brings decades of experience in teaching and applied psychology, weaving in stories, lived insights, and reflections that feel as intimate as they are intellectually grounded.
Each episode is crafted to not just inform, but to resonate—to offer clarity in a world that often feels confusing. Whether it’s unpacking why we fear vulnerability, exploring how digital culture reshapes our sense of self, or understanding what it means to belong, this podcast invites you to slow down, reflect, and think just a little more deeply about the human experience.
You won’t just walk away with knowledge. You’ll leave with language—tools to make sense of emotions, relationships, and inner conflicts that often go unnamed. Because when we can name it, we can change it. And when we understand each other better, we begin to heal the distance between us.
This is not a show about fixing people. It’s about understanding them. Understanding us. So whether you're listening on your morning walk, during a late-night scroll, or in search of insight after a hard conversation, The Psychology of Us is a companion in the lifelong work of becoming more whole, more honest, and more human.
