What is an end-of-life doula, and how do they support individuals and families in one of life's most challenging times? In my latest podcast episode, I had the honor of speaking with Anne from Red Door Doula, an end-of-life doula with a compassionate and deeply meaningful approach to supporting those facing their final chapter.

In this heartfelt episode of A Medic's Mind, titled “It's Okay to Not Be Okay: Acceptance in the Face of Anxiety and PTSD,” Matthew Heneghan opens up about a recent PTSD flashback triggered by a sound that unexpectedly transported him back to his days as a paramedic. This episode explores the unpredictable nature of triggers and the profound impact they can have on mental health, even after years of healing. Matthew shares how he navigated this experience by embracing acceptance—the real, raw kind—not as a quick fix but as a way of acknowledging, "It's okay to not be okay right now." Throughout the episode, Matthew breaks down the complexities of PTSD triggers, anxiety, and the emotional toll of trauma, offering listeners a glimpse into his personal struggles and the tools he uses to cope. He reflects on how acceptance isn't about suppressing emotions or pretending things are fine but about making space for discomfort and learning to sit with it without judgment. Listeners will hear insights on grounding techniques such as mindful breathing, using sensory cues, and practicing self-compassion to anchor themselves during moments of panic. Matthew also discusses how these moments remind us that healing is not linear and setbacks don't mean failure. Rather, they are opportunities to practice resilience and reaffirm that "this too shall pass." This episode is perfect for anyone navigating their own mental health journey, whether you are living with PTSD, anxiety, or simply dealing with life's ups and downs. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or struggled with intrusive memories, this episode offers a powerful reminder: You are not alone, and it's okay to stumble. Life is messy, and acceptance means giving yourself permission to be a work-in-progress. Join Matthew as he shares practical advice, personal reflections, and a message of hope for those who feel lost in the storm.

What's the Antidepressant Myth? Have We Been Scammed?     Today, Rhonda and I interview one of our heroes, Dr. Irving Kirsch, who is a giant in depression research and a fun, down-to-earth human being at the same time! Dr. Kirsch is Associate Director of the Program in Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Relationship, and a lecturer on medicine at the Harvard Medical School (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center). He is also Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Hull (UK) and the University of Connecticut (USA). Dr. Kirsch has published 10 books, more than 250 scientific journal articles and 40 book chapters on placebo effects, antidepressant medication, hypnosis, and suggestion. He originated the concept of response expectancy. This is the expectation that people have that a given treatment or intervention will be helpful. Kirsch's 2002 meta-analysis on the efficacy of antidepressants influenced official guidelines for the treatment of depression in the United Kingdom. His 2008 meta-analysis was covered extensively in the international media and listed by the British Psychological Society as one of the “10 most controversial psychology studies ever published.” His book, The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth, has been published in English, French, Italian, Japanese, Turkish, and Polish, and was shortlisted for the prestigious “Mind Book of the Year” award. It was also the topic of a 60 Minutes segment on CBS and a 5-page cover story in Newsweek. In 2015, the University of Basel (Switzerland) awarded Irving Kirsch an Honorary Doctorate in Psychology. In 2019, the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis honored him with their “Living Human Treasure Award.” In today's podcast, we cover a wide range of topics, including a patient-level reanalysis of all of the data on the effects of antidepressant medications versus placebos submitted to the FDA. This analysis included more than 70,000 depressed individuals and indicated something troubling and surprising. The difference in improvement between individuals treated with antidepressants and individuals receiving antidepressant medications was only 1.8 points on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. This test can range from 0 to 50, and a difference of 1.8 points is not clinically significant. In addition, the beneficial antidepressant effects observed in both the placebo and “antidepressant” groups are large, with reductions of around 10 points or so on the Hamilton Scale. These were the shocking discoveries that led to his popular book, The Emperor's New Drugs (LINK), and to his appearance on the Sunday evening 60 Minutes TV show. In addition, Dr. Kirsch agreed that tiny difference between the “effects” of antidepressants vs placebos could be the result of problems in the experimental design used by drug companies. Because they give patients in the placebo groups pills with inactive ingredients, there are no side effects in the placebo groups. This makes it fairly easy for individuals to guess what group they were assigned to—the “real” antidepressant group or the placebo group. This might account for the differences in the groups, since many individuals in the medication groups may think, “Hey, I'm getting some side effects. I must be in the antidepressant group. That's terrific!” This thought would be expected to trigger some mood elevation, but it's the thought, and not the pill, that causes this. In contrast, some individual in the placebo groups may have the thought, “Hey, I'm not getting any of the side effects they described. I must be in the placebo group!” And this thought may trigger disappointment, and a worsening of depression. This would contribute to differences between the drug and placebo groups in drug company outcome studies with new chemicals that they hope to get approved as “antidepressants.” This problem could easily be corrected by the use of active placebos, like atropine, which produces dry mouth, a side effect of many antidepressants and has been used as an active placebo in a small number of trials. Most of the studies using active placebos have failed to show any significant effect of the antidepressant over the active placebo. Drug companies have been reluctant to implement this change in their research designs, perhaps due to the fear that it will “erase” the tiny differences that they have been reporting. This would be of potential concern since billions of dollars are at stake if the FDA gives you permission to call your new chemical an “antidepressant.” We also discussed Dr. Kirsch's unlikely journey to Harvard. When he was in England, planning to return to the United States, he asked a colleague at Harvard if it would be possible for him to get a library card so he'd have access to articles in research journals. His colleague told him that it was difficult to obtain a library card for people not affiliated with Harvard. However, they were willing to offer him a position as Instructor on Medicine, given that he was the Associate Director of the  Program in Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Relationship, which was hosted at one of the Harvard teaching hospitals. That's a wow! But certainly deserved, and a most fortunate affiliation with unanticipated and highly positive consequences that have led to many important discoveries on how the placebo effect actually works. The placebo effect is not a bad thing, and has been one of the doctor's best “medicines” for hundreds if not thousands of years. On the podcast, we also discussed the confusion—for patients, doctors, and researchers alike—caused by the placebo effect. For example, many people who receive antidepressants do improve, and some recover completely. They will SWEAR by antidepressants, and may feel hurt or disappointed by the results of Dr. Kirsch's research. But in fact, there is no discernable difference between the effects of placebos and so-called “real” effects. And one of the downsides of the confusion about placebos is that people who take antidepressants and improve have improved because of changes in their thinking, and not from the antidepressant. But they wrongly give credit to the pills they took, whereas they deserve the real credit for overcoming their feelings of depression. We discussed many other topics, including pushback he has received from the psychiatric community and some in the general public as well who have not taken kindly to his findings. I, too, have experienced that when I have summarized the data in the Food and Drug Administration, and have had to be very careful in how I present this information, because none of us want to discourage anyone who is depressed. We have also invited Dr. Kirsch to consult with us on the research design we use in our beta testing of the Feeling Good App, and have developed tests of “expectations” (the so-called placebo effect) that we will use in our latest beta test as well. We want to “walk the walk” and not just “talk the talk” and find out how much the improvement we see in beta testers might be due to a placebo, or “mega-placebo” effect. Rhonda and I were honored and thrilled to have this chance to interview Dr. Irving Kirsch, a friend and research giant for sure! Thanks so much for listening to today's podcast! Irving, Rhonda, and David

Are we always listening to "noise" that may distract us from thinking about the Lord? Is my mind filled with unimportant information (bits of gossip, insignificant news, etc)? Do I talk more than I listen? How hard is it for me to fight for "quiet time"? Do I appreciate how Jesus prioritized such times in his own life?

This edition of The Verb is another chance to hear an extended interview with the prize winning novelist Hilary Mantel who died last year. The programme looks at her life in writing, from her struggle to publish the first book she ever wrote, the historical epic A Place of Greater Safety to the phenomenal success of her Thomas Cromwell books Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies, both of which won the Booker Prize. We learn about the themes which run through all her work: the pursuit of power, fame and how it changes us, the collective versus the individual voice, and ghosts (which for Mantel are choices not made, both in her life and in her writing). She sheds light on her relationship with Thomas Cromwell, how she avoids pastiche when writing historical dialogue, and explains how working on the RSC adaptations of her Thomas Cromwell books influenced the final book in the trilogy, ‘The Mirror and The Light' which at the time of recording was yet to be published. Hilary Mantel published her first novel Every Day is Mother's Day in 1985. She won the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize for Fludd, and the Hawthornden Prize for An Experiment in Love. Her memoir, Giving Up the Ghost won the MIND Book of the Year award. Mantel is the first British writer to win the Booker Prize twice. Presenter: Ian McMillan Producer: Jessica Treen

Out of My Mind is a happy and sad story.

"The ultimate is not to win, but to reach within the depths of your capabilities and compete against yourself to the greatest extent possible. When you do that you can walk about with pride, no matter what place you finished." -Billy Mills, Olympic Gold Medalist Endurance sports are arguably the most grueling and demanding physical endeavors Athletes can undertake. Whether it is an MTB race, gravel event, cyclocross race, criterium, or Gran Fondo, defining success solely through wins and losses would undermine the sacrifice required to tackle these great events. That is why the words of Olympian Billy Mills and the mindset it suggests are pertinent to Athletes everywhere! In the closing chapters of The Champion's Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train, And Thrive, we get a deeper understanding of what it means to achieve our very best and compete against ourselves. Check out Part 3 of our Podcast review of The Champion's Mind, in which, Coaches Brian and Brady cover the final chapters and the most important skills to develop a Champion's Mind!
