Hear Me Out: Psychiatry Alone Can’t Heal You Completely Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out… great, but not enough.

Mental health is on a lot of minds as we enter the holiday season — a time when we know many people struggle.

So this week, we talk candidly about what it means to treat mental illness… and what it should mean, if we want that treatment to be effective, long-lasting, and sensitive. Spoiler: psychiatry and psychology are not the panaceas you might think.

Erin Grimm, author and mental health advocate, joins us.

Listener discretion is advised; if you or a loved one need help, you can contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 24/7 by calling or texting 988.

How To!: Grieve an Estranged Parent Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

A parent’s main job is to protect. But what happens when your parent doesn’t protect you? What happens when they not only let bad things happen to you, but they doubt and dismiss you when you ask them for help? Our listener, Haylie, decided to go no-contact with her father after multiple attempts to reconcile their relationship. Now she wants to know how to grieve the death of the relationship. On this episode of How To!, Patrick Teahan, licensed clinical social worker and childhood trauma therapist, joins us to explain why cutting off a parent is so difficult, why we grieve these relationships, and how to start healing.
