  • 🎙️🆕 DSM-V BURN BABY BURN, WHEN THERAPISTS QUESTION THE RULE BOOK DROPS TODAY!

    Do you feel lost in a maze of conflicting diagnoses? It’s as if each time you see a provider, you are given another label and you wonder “How is this possible? I am still the same person - right?” 🌀 Struggling under the weight of labels that don't quite match your experience is the reality for many leading patients to more confusion than clarity.
    Have you ever found yourself questioning the rulebook? That's exactly what Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn did in our latest conversation where we lit a literal match to the DSM-5. It wasn't just a rebellious act; it was the beginning of a deep dive into how mental health diagnoses need a serious overhaul. We share stories from the trenches—both the humorous and the harrowing—about the realities of diagnosing without the necessary tools that should be provided in our training, and why that's sending the wrong message to the next generation of therapists.

    The conversation took an earnest turn as we uncovered the often hidden world of on-the-job learning that therapists undergo. From our early days in correctional facilities to our transitions into private practice, we've seen firsthand how varying environments can reshape our understanding of mental health issues. But it's not just about where we work; it's also about the challenging predicacies within the field itself. We opened up about the struggles we face, from the daunting task of assessing inmates swiftly, to the dilemmas of overdiagnosis and the murky waters of diagnostic criteria expansion.

    Wrapping things up, we didn't shy away from confronting the controversies that keep us up at night. The late diagnosis of ADHD, the over-reliance on symptom checklists, and the pharmaceutical industry's impact on the tools we use—it's all up for scrutiny. We took a step back to observe the changing tides of mental health trends, from the rise of TikTok self-diagnoses to society's shifting focus. With a call to remain curious and critical, Dr. Teralyn, Therapist Jen, and I invite our listeners to stay engaged in the conversation about how we can all better navigate the complex landscape of mental health and wellness.

    🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss is that BIG Marketing teams influence us not by the product, but by the captivating persona selling it. KNOW, LIKE and TRUST are the basis of their tactics.
    🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses several BIG NAME authors, podcast hosts and television show hosts that you may admire and TRUST. Be open to the idea that these individuals may perpetuate false ideals and live untruthful stories simply to promote their brand.

    In this eye-opening video, we delve into the world of influencers like Jay Shetty, Oprah Winfrey, Rachel Hollis, and Mel Robbins, exploring the psychology behind their influence.

  • 🎙️Are you taking two or more psychiatric medications to treat the same pain point? Have you been taken off multiple psychiatric medications at the same time and assured that THE NEW YOU will emerge?

    Join your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn TODAY on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we talk TRUTH about polypharmacy and medication washing as dangerous treatment strategies that cause HARM.
    💬 Have you or someone you know faced these challenges? Share your story in the comments below and join us in raising awareness about this important issue.

    🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss is that medication washing is presented to patients as a “new baseline” from which the NEW YOU emerges. What’s not shared with patients is that the NEW YOU cannot be established for months or even years as the brain and body go through withdrawal. The sad solution - ADD more medication.

    🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses research and personal experience around how we are GASLIT by providers to believe that medication stacking is going to fix mental health struggles. Suppose you are taking multiple medications to manage the same mental health condition. In that case, you are the definition of polypharmacy which may trigger anger and feeling helpless at the hands of prescribers.

Our conversation uncovers the beauty and challenge in the work we do, and its profound effect on not just our clients, but us as well, sometimes moving us to tears.

    Navigating the murky waters of polypharmacy, we confront the hard truths of mental health treatment and the fine line between help and hindrance that multiple prescriptions can represent. With anecdotes of dependency spirals and blurred lines between symptoms and side effects, the discussion calls for a paradigm shift. We advocate for a holistic approach to mental wellness that champions nutrition and lifestyle, and dare to question the status quo of our healthcare's co

  • When our bodies whisper tales of discomfort, it's our minds that often scream out in response. This isn't just poetic musing but the thrust of our latest Gaslit Truth Podcast episode, where the often-ignored nexus of inflammation and mental health takes center stage. With the insightful guest therapist Jen by our side, we tackle the Western medical model's shortcomings, offering a fresh lens to view conditions like depression as not just psychological battles but also physical ones. We wrangle with the idea that your mood might be more deeply entwined with inflammation than you've ever considered, and that the usual prescription pad approach might need a rethink.

    Witnessing a seizure recently threw me back into the past, dredging up memories that I thought were long buried. It was a powerful, unwelcome reminder of how our past shadows our present, physically and mentally. In this conversation, we weave personal narratives with discussions on 'toxic positivity', the intricate dance between our thoughts and our body's inflammatory responses, and therapeutic avenues like EMDR that can help intercept this cycle. We break down the barriers between mind and body, investigating how our internal dialogue can send ripples throughout our physiology, potentially derailing our mental health journey.

    We wrap up this deep dive with a look at the often-overlooked pillars of mental health: digestive health, detoxification, and diet. It's not just about the food on our plates but the words that feed our minds. As we piece together the puzzle of mood disorders, we highlight the two-way street between the gut and the brain, encouraging a dialogue that extends beyond our episode. We invite you to join us on this exploration of the self, sharing your stories and adding to the tapestry of experiences that shape the Gaslit Truth Podcast community.

  • Discover the disturbing truths and hidden controversies of the mental health field as Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen join us for an unflinching examination of the discipline's murky past. This episode peels back the curtain on the profession's earliest days, revealing how the shadows of eugenics and the asylum system continue to loom large over modern practices. As we dissect the legacy of figures like Freud and spotlight the stark omissions in our educational curriculum, we promise a journey that will not only inform but also provoke a critical re-evaluation of the mental health narrative.

    The annals of psychiatric care are marred by interventions that now seem barbaric, and our conversation takes a hard look at the life-threatening surgeries performed by Dr. Cotton, whose work was once praised. These grim tales serve as stark reminders of the necessity for ethical practices in mental health care. With Dr. Terri Lynn and therapist Jen as our guides, we reflect on the enduring implications of historical treatments and emphasize the need for empathy and patient-centered approaches in the wake of ego-driven agendas that have tainted our field's history.

    Wrapping up our episode, we probe the complexities of current psychiatric research and practice, challenging the integrity of studies that influence our understanding of treatments such as ECT and antidepressants. With a critical eye, we discuss the importance of transparency in psychiatric research and the honoring of patient experiences. By the end of this thought-provoking dialogue, listeners are urged to consider the implications of past practices on the present and to recognize the vital role of ethical standards in shaping the future of mental health care.

Your stories resonate deeply, fueling our passion to dissect iatrogenic effects and the holistic approaches that are often overlooked in treatment.

    In a world where teen mental health is a burgeoning concern, we question interventions that may miss the mark. We question interventions that hurt you, rather than help. It's called Iatrogenics. From the paradoxical outcomes of well-intentioned programs to the impact of social media on mental health, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, don't shy away from the ethical quagmires in therapeutic practices. We consider the delicate balance between aiding recovery and fostering dependency, both in therapy and through medication. The power dynamics at play between therapist and client are given a spotlight, as we share real-life tales from the clinical frontlines, emphasizing the critical importance of tailored treatment.

    Wrapping up, we underscore the profound influence mental health care has on individuals from all walks of life.

  • Ever felt like a square peg being forced into a round hole of mental health treatments? Our latest episode peels back the curtain on the stigmatizing label of "treatment-resistant" in mental health care, revealing the systemic flaws that place undue blame on patients for the shortcomings of treatments. We join forces with experts to dismantle the disheartening narrative that often accompanies this term, shining a light on its pervasive use across various conditions, and the concerning rise of medication dependence, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and women. We're not just critiquing; we're calling for a paradigm shift that focuses on the adequacy of care rather than patient labeling.

    Navigating the stormy seas of treatment-resistant depression can be a desolate journey, but we're not charting these waters alone. We share raw, firsthand experiences with antidepressants like Effexor, exposing the often-dismissive responses patients encounter, along with the distressing side effects. With our listeners as our co-navigators, we dissect the insidious ways medical marketing shifts blame onto those seeking help and scrutinize the medical literature for how it presents non-medication treatments. It's not just a discussion—it's a revelation of the hidden forces at play in the treatments offered to people grappling with persistent depression.

    Wrapping up our voyage, we dare to confront the controversial Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and its role in the narrative of treatment-resistant depression. We don't shy away from examining the weighty implications of such labels and treatments, placing a spotlight on the psychiatrists' role, potential financial motivations, and the underexplored non-medical approaches that often get overshadowed by invasive procedures. As we delve into the power dynamics within psychiatry, we advocate for a practice rooted in ethical standards and patient autonomy. Join us for this critical and timely discussion that challenges the status quo and champions a more compassionate and empowering approach to mental health care.

  • Embarking on a journey to taper off SSRIs can feel like navigating through a dense fog—challenging and fraught with the unknown. My co-host, therapist Jen, and I, Dr. Teralyn, pull from our own stories of medication withdrawal to shed light on the resources that are crucial during this process. While a good laugh about our telehealth wardrobe mishaps lightens the mood, our conversation takes a serious turn as we unravel the importance of professional medical advice, the power of a supportive community, and the necessity of understanding what lies ahead when reducing or stopping medication.

    Neurotransmitters, those tiny messengers within our brains, hold immense power over our well-being, particularly serotonin and dopamine. They're also central characters in our in-depth chat about the delicate dance of tapering off medications. We dig into the science behind addiction and mental health therapies, sharing personal insights to highlight the role of diet, lifestyle, and amino acids in achieving a balanced state of mind. It's an eye-opener—reminding us that a pill isn't always the panacea, and the road to recovery often requires a more holistic approach.

    If you've ever felt alone in the struggle of antidepressant withdrawal, let this episode serve as your companion and guide. We tackle the nitty-gritty of "discontinuation syndrome," the impact of medications on neurotransmitters throughout the body, and the empowering act of sharing patient stories. As we discuss the insights from "Prozac Backlash" and other resources, we cement the significance of being an informed and empowered patient. Your story matters, and we invite you to join us in creating a dialogue around mental health and medication complexities, fostering a community that understands and supports one another through every step.

  • As I, Dr. Teralyn sat with my dear friend and therapist, Jen, our conversation took a turn toward the deeply personal. We wound through the complex path of antidepressant use during pregnancy, weighing the delicate scales of maternal mental health against fetal development. This heart-to-heart isn't just about sharing our stories—it's about illuminating the often hushed dialogues surrounding medication, mental well-being, and the intricate dance of decision-making that expectant mothers face.

    Navigating pregnancy while managing mental health can feel like walking a tightrope, and this episode doesn’t shy away from that reality. We peel back the layers on the impact of healthcare professionals' guidance, and the profound weight their words carry in the informed consent process. You'll hear firsthand how the ripples of our experiences extend to the little ones we bring into the world as I recount my son's early developmental hurdles—a tale that underscores the need for clear, comprehensive communication and the empowerment of patients to ask challenging questions.

    In the tender realm of motherhood, the implications of medication use ripple into the postpartum period, touching on breastfeeding and child development. Alongside Jen, we tackle the emotional and practical challenges faced by mothers striving to nourish their newborns, the need for awareness among healthcare providers, and the importance of informed discussions on the effects of psychiatric medications. This conversation is an advocacy for knowledge, a call for compassionate healthcare dialogue, and a journey toward empowerment in the most vulnerable chapters of parenthood.

  • Unveil the hidden truths behind the glossy veneer of Big Pharma's marketing with Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen, as we investigate the chasm between the feel-good narratives of medication commercials and the harsh realities of side effects and efficacy. Our exploration kicks off with an analysis of a recent Pfizer Super Bowl commercial, peeling away the layers of its inclusive message to question the true impact of these drugs on our health and society. We confront the unsettling evidence presented in a JAMA study, which suggests that the drugs we're bombarded with through high-budget ads might not be the ones that best serve our health needs.

    Strap in for a candid discussion on the precarious practice of medication stacking in psychiatric care, as we contrast it with the precise nature of treatments like insulin for diabetes. Listeners will gain frontline insights into the therapist's role in navigating the complexities patients face with psychiatric medications, and we'll tackle the criticism of openly discussing such issues. Our conversation extends to 'Big Pharma Friday' events, exposing the tactics used to curry favor among healthcare professionals and the implications for patient care.

    To close, we cast a critical eye on the financial might of the pharmaceutical industry, scrutinizing Pfizer's spending on advertising versus research and the potential conflicts arising from their lobbying efforts. We invite you to consider the integrity of the medical advice we receive and ponder the influence of Big Pharma's deep pockets on the treatment options presented to us. Join us for a session that promises not just to inform but also to challenge your perspective on the pervasive power of pharmaceutical marketing in our healthcare system.

  • Weaving through the delicate intricacies of how antidepressants shape the emotional and intimate landscapes of our lives, Dr. Teralyn, along with therapist Jen, embark on a candid exploration that many shy away from. Ever felt that tug in your chest, the one that pulls at the threads of connection between you and your partner as you navigate the waters of mental health treatment? We've been there, and in this episode, we unveil the raw and often unseen effects of medications like sertraline and Lexapro on love, longing, and the longing to connect.

    Emotions run deep as we peel back the layers of postpartum depression and the hushed struggles mothers face, particularly when antidepressants enter the picture. Delving into our own battles with intrusive thoughts and the scarcity of protective factors for new mothers, we aim to dismantle the stigma and spark discussions that could pave the way for better support and understanding. And it doesn't stop there; we probe the parallels of withdrawal, both from antidepressants and the bonds that sustain us, considering how these medications color our personal narratives and the fabric of our relationships.

    As we wrap up this profound conversation, we contemplate the potential ripple effects of antidepressant use on societal trends, including the unsettling correlation with rising divorce rates. By sharing the multifaceted journeys of our hearts and minds, we seek to illuminate the need for resilience, the grace of apology, and the unending pursuit of balance in mental health treatment. Join us as we share more than just experiences; we share a call to re-evaluate the interplay between medication, mental wellness, and the enduring human quest for connection.

  • Have you ever felt your voice drowned out by the environment you were meant to thrive in? Join Dr. Teralyn and Jen, two therapists daring to challenge the status quo, as they recount the twists and turns of their careers in mental health. Woven through our personal narratives, this episode reveals the subtle yet pervasive ways in which professionals can become gaslit in their workplaces and the wisdom we've unearthed from these experiences. Reflecting on the instinctual cues we ignored and the mentorships that molded us, we aim to spark a light of awareness and advocacy within you.

    The journey through the mental health field is neither straight nor narrow, as Jen and I can attest. We share our trials of proposing innovative solutions met with resistance and recount the crossroads that led us to divergent paths within the same organization. Our discussion is vulnerable as we delve into the traumatic stints in supervisory roles and the critical moments that beckoned us to step away from suffocating work environments. This conversation isn't merely a recount; it's a testament to the transformation that's possible when you choose your identity and happiness over the comfort of conformity.

    As we close this episode, we dissect the intricate web of inadequacy and the struggle to maintain critical thinking against the grain of suppressive systems. Our professional pivots—from traditional settings to the autonomy of private practice—uncover the ongoing challenges beneath the surface of being one's own boss. We invite our listeners to join us as whistleblowing informants, engage with us beyond these audio waves, and let's kindle a collective movement toward genuine change in the landscape of mental health care.
