Pull of the Past: The Psychology of Nostalgia | Shrink Space E.43

52 min•26 augusti 2025

Why do childhood memories, old songs, or cultural movements make us feel a deep longing? Psychologists David Colarossi, PhD, and Rob Patterson, PhD, break down the science of nostalgia and why it shapes our emotions, identity, and even politics.


In this episode of Shrink Space, we explore:

  • What nostalgia really is

  • Why we feel it and its different types

  • When nostalgia helps and when it holds us back

  • How political movements like “Make America Great Again” tap into nostalgic feelings

Shrink Space is a psychology podcast where Rob and Dave unpack mental health and human behavior in ways that are thought-provoking, accessible, and sometimes a little unsettling.
