About this episode
News-Inspired Case Studies is a new series from Glenn Ostlund and the NCE StudyGuide Podcast.
Each episode begins with a current news story and unfolds like a counseling case study — exploring how real-world events ripple through the human nervous system, emotions, and behavior.
Created for both NCE preparation and ongoing professional development, this series bridges counseling theory, neuroscience, and culture to show how the world outside our therapy rooms shapes what happens inside them.
These episodes are also part of Glenn’s own continuing education — what he calls his AI puppet show — where tools like ChatGPT and Notebook LM help research, organize, and synthesize ideas into layered, soul-centered learning experiences.
Whether you’re studying for the National Counselor Exam or seeking to deepen your clinical understanding, News-Inspired Case Study offers a timely, integrative, and thought-provoking way to stay grounded, informed, and inspired.
