Recharge Psychology - with Zac Erickson
Knowing what would help and actually doing it are, annoyingly, two different things.
I’m Zac Erickson, a Registered Psychologist, and Recharge Psychology is where we talk about the messy reality of being a person: ADHD, anxiety, burnout, relationships, and that persistent feeling that you should have figured this out by now.
Why is it so hard to do something you genuinely care about? How do you stop being hard on yourself without letting yourself off the hook? And how do you build a good life when you’re already tired from keeping up with the one you have?
Each episode takes a familiar struggle and gets curious about what’s underneath it. Expect practical psychology, stories, some humour, and probably a nerdy metaphor that goes further than it needs to.
The goal isn’t to turn you into a perfectly optimized human who meditates at sunrise and never loses their keys. It’s to help you understand yourself, find something useful to try, and make more room for what matters to you.
Let’s figure out what actually helps.
