Hello everyone and welcome to the first episode of my new podcast 'Agents of Hope'.

My name is Tim Cox. I am a trainee Educational Psychologist and I am passionate about psychology, hope and society. 

This podcast aims to promote hopeful thinking and conversation about positive change in the field of applied educational psychology, education and wider society.

I hope that the podcast can shed light on the positive contribution of passionate people and inspires hopeful thinking, conversations and action.

Introduction to the podcast and Dr Jo Taylor
How we came to be having a discussion about hope
Hope and Narrative therapy
Hope in consultation
Hope in times of adversity
Q: How do we get the balance right between a foot in pain and foot in possibility? Do we sometimes push too quickly through pain to get to the hope?
Q: Are some people better at doing hope and do we need to be aware of privilege in that?
