From Sunday Morning, 9:40 am on 3 December 2023

Victoria University of Wellington Professor of Psychology, Dr Marc Wilson, joins us once again. His topics this week include why women are more likely to give us bad news, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and the latest research into whether pet ownership actually makes us happier.
