What the show is
The questions underneath the techniques.
Most psychology podcasts hand you techniques. This one is more interested in the questions underneath: why you keep ending up in the same argument, what the thing you can't stop thinking about might be pointing at, why insight so rarely changes behavior on its own.
Gabriel and his guests talk the way clinicians talk when the recorder is supposedly off. Curious, unhurried, willing to sit in the part that doesn't resolve. The tone is thoughtful and often funny. Depth doesn't have to mean heavy.
If you've been in therapy and wished the conversation went further, or you've never been and want to know what the inside of that kind of thinking sounds like, this is for you.

The host
Dr. Gabriel Lowe hosts.
Behind him is the Coastal Therapy Group team: doctoral-level psychologists who share a depth-oriented sensibility, rooted in the relational psychodynamic tradition that shapes our work in Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Vista.
We've spent years translating psychodynamic ideas into language people can actually use. The podcast is the audio version of that work.
Common questions
Common questions.
What is “Where Did Your Mind Just Go?” about?
It's a psychology podcast about free association and the unplanned places attention travels: the stray thoughts, repeated patterns, and things people almost don't say. Host Gabriel Lowe, PhD, and his guests follow those threads instead of handing out advice.
Who hosts the podcast?
Gabriel Lowe, PhD, hosts. He's part of Coastal Therapy Group, where every clinician holds a doctorate in psychology.
Is this a therapy podcast?
It's a podcast about how depth-oriented psychologists think, not a substitute for therapy. Our team offers individual, couples, and group therapy across three North County offices.
Do I need a psychology background to follow it?
No. The show translates psychodynamic ideas into plain language. If you're curious about your own mind, you'll keep up.
How often do episodes come out?
The first and third Wednesday of every month.
