Psychotherapy audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Psychotherapy" — noun, pronounced /ˌsaɪkəʊˈθɛrəpi/, with the stress on "ther".
Narrator: Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health problems by psychological means, through talking and interaction rather than medication.
Narrator: In plain English, psychotherapy is talking therapy — helping someone overcome mental health issues through conversation with a trained professional.
Narrator: It comes from the Greek psyche, meaning soul or mind, and therapeia, meaning healing or treatment.
Narrator: "To undergo psychotherapy" describes attending regular sessions with a therapist to work through emotional or mental difficulties.
Narrator: It differs from counselling because psychotherapy is often longer and deeper, whereas counselling tends to be shorter and more practical.
Narrator: "Cognitive behavioural psychotherapy" is a sense meaning a specific type that focuses on changing thought patterns.
Narrator: Mental health, psychiatry, social work and wellness all rely on the word psychotherapy.
Narrator: So remember: psychotherapy is talking therapy, from the Greek for soul and healing.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Is psychotherapy the same as counselling?
Speaker B: Close but deeper! PSYCHOTHERAPY comes from the Greek psyche, soul, and therapeia, healing, so it's a longer, deeper talking therapy, while counselling is often shorter and more practical.
Speaker A: So it's for more serious issues?
Speaker B: Often — it digs deeper into patterns!
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "She began psychotherapy"; "psychotherapy helped his depression"; "the clinic offers psychotherapy" — a start, a result and a service.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Don't pronounce the p in psychotherapy, because the p is silent, giving sy-koh-THER-uh-pee.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: "Therapy" the everyday cousin, "counselling" the practical twin, "analysis" the Freudian alternative. The word keeps its healing charm!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "psychotherapy" in AI prompts — useful for mental-health-education apps and clinic-website generators.
Speaker A: So a prompt could explain a service?
Speaker B: Right. For a clinic app, you'd write:
Prompt: Write a short service description for a clinic offering psychotherapy, naming two conditions it can help with.
Speaker A: How about an education tool?
Speaker B: Ask the model to frame a guide:
Prompt: Draft a short guide on what to expect in a first psychotherapy session, mentioning two things a therapist may ask.
Speaker A: Could it help with a wellbeing bot?
Speaker B: Yes, you can frame a tip:
Prompt: Summarise in two sentences why psychotherapy is as valid as medication for anxiety, naming one evidence point.
Speaker A: One more?
Speaker B: For a research chatbot, try this:
Prompt: Write a short paragraph on how online psychotherapy has grown, mentioning one benefit and one limitation.
