What if the scariest thoughts in your head mean nothing at all? William Schultz spent ten years trapped inside obsessive compulsive disorder. It got so bad he became afraid of his own shadow, checking it every time he flipped a light switch. Then he made one brave decision that put him in remission within two months. No drugs. No endless analysis. Today he's a psychotherapist in St. Paul, president of OCD Twin Cities, and the expert who pushed the International OCD Foundation to revise its own treatment guidelines in 2025.In this conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin and William expose why standard mental health care makes OCD worse. They reveal what actually frees people in an in depth conversation. If you've ever been attacked by a thought you couldn't turn off, this episode is your way out.
What kind of man gets studied at Yale, Brown, and Harvard, builds a 300 person international research consortium, and still has powerful people working to erase his name? Dr. Daniel Ingram is not a guru. He is a retired level one trauma emergency physician. A published neuroscience researcher. The author of a book that has shaped contemplative practice for tens of thousands of readers. The acting organizer of a global research effort spanning Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cambridge, and Oxford. By every credential medicine respects, he is one of their own.So why did a senior figure allegedly commission an academic article engineered to surface at the top of every search of his name, with one stated goal? That nobody would ever believe him again. Because Dr. Ingram crossed a line his profession does not permit. He claimed that awakening is real. That it is measurable. That it is observable in the brain. We go into what he has seen at the edges of human perception. What he documented in the lab. What he believes medicine is doing to patients every single day by refusing to look.The Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium
The war for human consciousness is not coming. It is already here, and you are living inside it.A classified 1983 report written for the CIA. A missing page they still refuse to release. A truth about your mind, your body, and your power so dangerous it was buried for twenty years and is still being hidden from you today.In this episode of the Radically Genuine Podcast, Dr. Roger McFillin pulls the thread on the hidden war being waged for your mind, your health, and your sovereignty. What he uncovers will change the way you see your diagnosis, your doctor, your phone, and yourself.You are not who they told you you were. You are not what they trained you to believe.Press play.
In 1976, Merck's CEO told Fortune magazine his dream was to make drugs for healthy people and sell them to everyone. Fifty years later, that dream is the air we breathe.In this solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin traces how a generation was taught that being human is a disease. He walks through the 1994 inflection point, the Zoloft commercial that rewrote a culture, the academics and journals and sales reps who built the influence machine, and the school-to-pediatrician-to-customer-for-life pipeline that captured childhood itself.He reflects on the recent HHS mental health summit, what it gets right, and what the bureaucrats are still unwilling to say out loud. He names what was lost in the trade. The wisdom passed down through generations. The understanding that emotions are a guidance system, not a malfunction.The mental health industrial complex is not a healthcare system. It's a control system. The drugs are weapons. The diagnoses are chains.This is how you walk out of the cage.
Andrew Feldmar has been guiding people through psychedelic journeys for over 50 years. He trained directly with R.D. Laing in London, worked with Stanislav Grof at Esalen, practiced at Hollywood Hospital when LSD was still legal medicine, and took part in the first MAPS Canada MDMA research for PTSD. A Hungarian-born psychotherapist who fled the 1956 revolution alone at 16, he has spent a lifetime refusing to pathologize normal human suffering. With the President signing an executive order to fast track psychedelics through the FDA, this conversation could not be more timely. Andrew explains why medicalizing these medicines is a grotesque category mistake, what gets lost when ceremony and relationship are replaced by sterile hospital protocols, and why the source only opens up between people. His new book, Radical Adventure: An Inquiry into Psychedelic Psychotherapy (Karnac Books, 2025), is a quiet act of resistance against the venture capital takeover of sacred work. If we're going to talk about psychedelics in 2026, we need to talk to someone who knew what they were before the industry came for them.
Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.
In 1976, scientists discovered something so significant they gave it a name that said everything. That name was scrubbed from the literature eight years later. Dr. William Supple is a neuroscientist. He didn't set out to become one of the most controversial voices in cancer research. He was trying to save someone he loved. What he found in the process — buried in peer-reviewed journals, hidden in WHO population data, and documented across hundreds of real human cases — will permanently change the way you think about cancer, what it is, who profits from it, and what has been available all along. Cancer Is a Parasite by Dr. William Supple is available on Amazon. Dr. Supple's research is at fenbendazole.substack.com.

Dr. Mauro Zappaterra trained at Harvard Medical School, holds both an MD and a PhD, and spent years in one of the most elite research labs in the world.Then he felt something move through his spine that changed everything. This episode starts with neuroscience and ends somewhere most people aren't used to going. Right now there is a fluid bathing your brain. It pulses with every heartbeat. It clears toxins from your brain while you sleep. It guided the development of every neuron you were born with. Scientists are only beginning to understand what it does. Every major ancient tradition on earth built spiritual practices around activating this exact system. They called it the Crystal Palace. The third eye. The cave of Brahma. They mapped it thousands of years before we had MRI machines to confirm it. Dr. Zappaterra believes this system is the gateway to higher consciousness. We have the ability to activate this... all of us.

What happens when cutting-edge science and ancient faith point to the same truth?In this deeply personal and spiritually charged conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin welcomes back Dr. Ben Rall — chiropractor, author, and devoted follower of Christ — for what may be their most meaningful conversation yet. Released on Holy Thursday, this episode sits at the intersection of peer-reviewed research and transcendent faith, asking questions that our modern medical system was never designed to answer. What is actually happening inside the healing encounter? How much does the practitioner matter? And what does science now tell us about the power of belief, prayer, and human connection on biological outcomes?

Jan Jekielek is one of the most important journalists working today. As senior editor at Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leaders, he has interviewed nearly a thousand heads of state, scientists, dissidents, and survivors — and for two decades he has been doing what almost no one in Western media would: documenting China's state-sanctioned, industrialized harvesting of organs from living prisoners of conscience.His new book, Killed to Order, makes the case that this is the largest ongoing crime against humanity on the planet — and that most of us have been counting on not to notice. In this conversation, Jan traces how a peaceful spiritual movement became the target of an extermination campaign, how prisoners of conscience became a living organ database, and why the global elite's obsession with longevity may be more connected to this atrocity than anyone wants to admit. This is a conversation that demands something of you. Jan has spent twenty years carrying a truth the world wasn't ready to receive. It's time to receive it.
A document written in 1952. Declassified in 1983. Quietly re-cataloged in 2025 — without a single headline. Dr. Roger McFillin follows that document to where he believes it leads. The destination is not Cold War history. It's your medicine cabinet.Before there were SSRIs, there were research programs. Before the DSM, there were experiments. Dr. McFillin connects dots the mainstream has never connected — using only public records, peer-reviewed data, and 20 years of sitting across from people the system was supposed to help. The trail is longer than you think. And it ends somewhere you won't expect.

Dr. Roger McFillin argues that Western allopathic medicine and psychiatry have medicalized normal human suffering by reducing emotions to biological or chemical reactions, turning symptom checklists into fixed identities, and sustaining a drug-driven "sick care" system that creates lifelong customers. He contrasts this with viewing emotions as powerful energy meant to be moved into creation and transformation, cites psychoneuroimmunology, and warns that suppressing fear and distress with pharmaceuticals can worsen long-term outcomes. The conversation covers exposure-based approaches to unlearn fear, the role of media, social media, and advertising in provoking fear and keeping people in an unconscious "drift" state, and the importance of intentional stillness, solitude (distinct from loneliness), prayer or silent meditation, and reducing phone use—especially at the start of the day—to become more conscious and intentional. McFillin discusses how diagnostic labels like depression and anxiety shape identity, limit choices, and contribute to chronicity and polypharmacy. He contrasts PTSD with post-traumatic growth, emphasizing processing trauma memories, facing avoided situations, challenging overgeneralized threat beliefs, and practicing forgiveness and self-compassion while also taking ownership where appropriate. They also discuss the perceived harms of the "toxic masculinity" concept, men's wellbeing, the loss of wise elders, and how men often bond and cope through shared activities. Dr. Roger McFillin is a clinical psychologist and trauma recovery expert who challenges the medicalization of normal human emotions. With a focus on emotional resilience and personal growth, he specializes in exposure therapy and psychoneuroimmunology, exploring the connection between mind, emotions, and immune health. Dr. McFillin advocates for self-regulation and transforming emotional energy into healing, critiquing the overuse of pharmaceuticals in modern mental health treatment. Through his Substack, Radically Genuine, and podcast, Dr. McFillin educates individuals on overcoming fear, achieving stillness, and reconnecting with their true selves. His work empowers people to shift from a victim mindset to one of active growth, using trauma as a catalyst for resilience and positive change.

The release of the Epstein files is a window into something far larger: power operating in the shadows, shaping culture, medicine, and the future of humanity itself. In this episode, I connect that to the transhumanist movement, which is nothing more than eugenics repackaged for a new era, and to the psychiatric industrial complex, which has always been part of that anti-human project.I then share 10 minutes from a recent conference talk where I spoke directly about what I believe is a systematic assault on human consciousness. Pathologizing the inner world, suppressing spiritual identity, severing people from God, from nature, from one another. This is not accident or incompetence. It is by design. When you disconnect people from their soul, you create a population that is dependent, confused, and easily controlled. That is the function of the mental health industrial complex. It is time to reclaim your sovereignty, your spirit, and your mind.
When does sadness become a disease? Grief? Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Mary Ann Kenny a lecturer, a mother of two, and the author of The Episode: A True Story of Loss, Madness and Healing. Ten years ago, her husband went out for a morning run and never came home. What followed was grief—and then a collision with a psychiatric system that would change her life in ways she never could have anticipated.

Allie interviews Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and former FDA drug safety officer. He unveils the truth about Big Pharma and the detrimental side effects of medications for mental illnesses. SSRIs cause more harm than good; they blunt emotions, breed dependency, and often backfire long-term. Dr. Witt-Doerring advises patients to pursue holistic health that includes a balanced diet, sleep, exercise, and therapy. He and his wife have started TaperClinic, where they help people come off medications and find real solutions to their problems.

Dr. Roger McFillin was interviewed by Renaud Beauchard from Tocsin Media—France's leading independent media platform with 30 million monthly views. In this unflinching conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin exposes what he calls a deliberate psychological operation on the American people: a system designed not to heal but to create lifelong customers, sever your connection to God, and make you dependent on medical authority for problems that were never diseases in the first place. The chemical imbalance theory? Born in pharmaceutical marketing rooms, not laboratories. ADHD? A label that stops investigation into the real causes poisoning our children. This isn't incompetence. It's an attack on human consciousness itself. And the first step to freedom is understanding exactly how they did it to you.

Beyond Labels: A Powerful Night of Truth & Hope About Mental Health brought together leading medical and mental health professionals to uncover how today's healthcare system profits from lifelong patients instead of healing them. Hosted by Dr. Ben, with keynote speakers Dr. Tim Hindmarsh and Dr. Roger McFillin, the event revealed the hidden incentives behind mental health diagnoses and prescriptions—and the spiritual, emotional, and practical tools for breaking free.Dr. Hindmarsh, co-host of BS Free MD, shared his inside view of how the healthcare system transformed from saving lives to monetizing chronic illness. He exposed how government programs, insurance metrics, and pharmaceutical influence have turned human suffering into a business model—and how true healing requires reclaiming personal responsibility and autonomy.Dr. McFillin, clinical psychologist and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast, offered a powerful counter-narrative to the chemical imbalance myth. He explored the spiritual and energetic roots of mental health, the dangers of over-medication, and how emotions like pain and fear are not disorders but messages guiding us toward purpose and truth.Together, they delivered an urgent wake-up call: to move beyond fear, beyond dependency, and beyond labels—toward a world where healing begins with awareness, connection, and sovereignty over one's mind, body, and soul.

Is ADHD really a brain disorder or a label created to sell drugs? Dr. Roger McFillin speaks with filmmaker Roman Wyden, founder of the ADHD Is Over movement- that includes a book, podcast and upcoming documentary. Roman shares why he rejected the ADHD label for his son and what he uncovered about the system behind it: schools, pharma, and psychiatry pushing parents toward pills. Together they expose how 6 million children in America are prescribed stimulants like Adderall and Ritalin, the billion-dollar ADHD industry that profits from it, and why more parents are waking up and saying: ADHD is over.ADHD is OVER Website Visit Center for Integrated Behavioral HealthDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here
In this mind-bending episode, Dr. Roger McFillin shares the therapy session that shattered his understanding of how healing actually works. Originally written on his substack he feels compelled to share the entire story (with his clients permission). What started as a routine Monday evening appointment with a client overwhelmed, ready to give up and go on psychiatric drugs became the most extraordinary 90 minutes of his career. By the end, he witnessed something that defied all explanation—and then his car did something in the parking lot that made him question reality itself. A powerful lesson in the abilities we all possess but have forgotten.

Most of us never think about how we breathe but science shows it may be one of the most overlooked drivers of health and disease.Dr. Roger McFillin talks with Dr. Amy Lichon, a double-board-certified physician who left a successful hospital career to teach people how to heal through their breath. They explore why mouth breathing fuels anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue, how carbon dioxide and nasal breathing affect the nervous system, and why a century-old method called Buteyko could transform sleep, focus, and even athletic performance.You'll learn practical tools from a simple “control pause” test to techniques for decongesting the nose and calming the nervous system that anyone can start today. If you've tried everything for stress, sleep, or focus and nothing sticks, this conversation may reveal the missing piece.Learn more about Dr. Amy Lichon here: https://www.courami.com/ Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Most people think electroshock therapy was abandoned decades ago. The unfortunate truth is it's still widely used, with well over 100,000 (probably much higher) Americans receiving ECT every year.Yet the devices have never been properly safety tested.In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Sarah Price Hancock, a certified rehabilitation counselor, educator, and survivor who underwent 116 ECT treatments. Sarah lost 85–90% of her memories from the first 36 years of her life, developed neurological complications, and later learned her original psychiatric symptoms weren't even a mental illness.Life After ECT website Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here
When Dr. Roger McFillin first stepped into a children's psychiatric hospital, he was shocked by what he witnessed—kids as young as five being medicated into compliance, their trauma overlooked, and their humanity reduced to labels and prescriptions. That moment set him on a decades-long journey to expose the truth about America's mental health system.In this conversation, Dr. McFillin joins Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh to challenge some of the deepest assumptions in psychiatry—from the “chemical imbalance” myth to the widespread drugging of normal emotional responses like grief, fear, and anxiety. He shares gripping stories from his work with traumatized children, teens in the juvenile justice system, and adults on multiple psychiatric drugs, raising hard questions about informed consent, resilience, and what true healing looks like.This isn't just an interview—it's a raw, honest look at how our culture medicalizes suffering, why that's dangerous, and how reclaiming struggle and resilience may be the real path forward. Whether you're a physician, a patient, or simply someone searching for truth, this episode will stay with you.Rapid Fire TakeawaysWhy the “chemical imbalance” theory never held up to scienceHow normal human suffering became pathologized as “disorder”Why informed consent is missing in psychiatric prescribingThe difference between short-term crisis meds vs. long-term harmHow resilience, not over-medicalization, is the real path to healingAbout the GuestDr. Roger McFillin, PsyDClinical psychologist, writer, and host of The Radically Genuine Podcast.

The FDA held a panel discussion on antidepressants used during pregnancy. I was one of the expert presenters, and what I witnessed should alarm anyone who cares about honest medicine. In this episode, I break down the mainstream media response and what they kept out: SSRIs cross the placenta, change fetal brain development, and there is no proof they work at all- let alone prevent postpartum depression. You'll also hear why this is bigger than one drug class. It's about a system that medicalizes emotions and protects profit over people. If you want the truth the headlines won't give you, start here.

In this explosive and highly anticipated episode, Dr. Roger McFillin hosts Dr. Ragy Girgis, a Columbia University Professor of Psychiatry and researcher, for a no-holds-barred confrontation that exposes the shocking divisions tearing apart the mental health field. What begins as a conversation about mass violence research rapidly explodes into a devastating examination of psychiatric medicine's crumbling foundations, questionable effectiveness, and devastating potential harms. The two clash in fierce, unrelenting disagreements over fundamental issues including the validity of DSM diagnoses, the debunked "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, dangerous SSRI safety cover-ups and black box warnings, corrupted research quality and pharmaceutical industry manipulation, and the catastrophic crisis of psychiatric drug overprescription poisoning 1 in 4-5 Americans. Dr. Girgis desperately defends traditional academic psychiatry and current treatment approaches, while Dr. McFillin ruthlessly dismantles the entire paradigm, arguing that the current system is systematically creating chronic mental illness rather than healing it. Buckle up for this brutal intellectual warfare.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Throughout the interview, Dr. Girgis repeatedly stated that "the data is clear" while dismissing contradictory evidence that challenges his conclusions. For our listeners' benefit, I have compiled research and documentation that directly disputes several of Dr. Girgis's key claims.Serotonin Hypothesis of Depression1. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Moncrieff et al.)Conclusions: "This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has NOT produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers . We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is NOT empirically substantiated."2.What has serotonin to do with depression?Conclusions: "Simple biochemical theories that link low levels of serotonin with depressed mood are no longer tenable."3.

US suicide rate reaches highest point in more than 80 years: See what latest data shows12. CNN article reporting Eli Lilly Internal Documents"An internal document purportedly from Eli Lilly and Co. made public Monday appears to show that the drug maker had data more than 15 years ago showing that patients on its antidepressant Prozac were far more likely to attempt suicide and show hostility than were patients on other antidepressants and that the company attempted to minimize public awareness of the side effects. The 1988 document indicated that 3.7 percent of patients attempted suicide while on the blockbuster drug, a rate more than 12 times that cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.In addition, the paper said that 1.6 percent of patients reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported by patients on any of four other commonly used antidepressants."Examples of Violence after Prescription in legal system (Sample)January 24, 2020 – Newcastle, South Dublin, Ireland: Deirdre Morley, 44, smothered and killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home.

He then turned the gun on his 58-year-old wife in the living room of their house, before placing a call to police alerting them to his crimes. When they arrived, Miles was also found dead from a gunshot wound. Miles had started taking antidepressant medication just weeks before.April 6, 2018 – Wadsworth, Ohio: Gavon Ramsay, 17, strangled his neighbor, 98-year-old Margaret Douglas in her own home. His parents blame his actions on his having been misprescribed Zoloft. After a report by his school principal that the teen was depressed and might harm himself, he “returned to therapy,” and after a recommendation by a psychologist, the family's pediatrician prescribed the antidepressant Zoloft. From January through March leading up to the incident, the dosages were increased. During this time, his mother said she observed her son's behavior change—becoming increasingly irritable and hostile and saying bizarre things.October 21, 2013 – Sparks, Nevada: 12-year-old Jose Reyes opened fire at Sparks Middle School, killing a teacher and wounding two classmates be...
Our mental health crisis isn't mysterious - it's the predictable result of systematic cultural programming designed to keep us medicated, divided, and compliant. Dr. Roger McFillin conducts a disturbing deep-dive investigation into America's most popular cultural content to uncover the hidden forces driving our unprecedented mental health epidemic. His shocking discoveries include the Call Her Daddy podcast, where thousands of teenage girls celebrate STDs as feminist achievements, and mainstream media outlets that casually normalize genocide and mass violence as dinner table conversation. Dr. McFillin exposes what he believes is a coordinated three-phase assault on human psychological well-being: first, destroy healthy models of self-worth; second, desensitize the population to violence and dehumanization through media conditioning; and finally, capture these wounded souls through pharmaceutical dependency disguised as healthcare. The solution isn't more pills or endless therapy sessions - it's awakening to these toxic cultural narratives and choosing to resist them. Because once you see the programming, you cannot unsee it.

Vaccines have become one of the most polarizing topics in public health, and frankly, for valid reasons. What we've witnessed over the past few years is an unprecedented breakdown in trust between medical institutions and the public - and that didn't happen in a vacuum.What is the truth about Vaccine Safety and Efficacy? Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with vaccine safety epidemiologist Allison Krug to expose the hidden forces shaping public health, from vaccine safety to the weaponization of fear. They dive deep into the failures of placebo-controlled trials, the truth about natural immunity vs. vaccine-induced immunity, and why good evidence is harder to find than you think. Allison shares what she learned working inside the pharmaceutical industry and reveals how mindset, belief systems, and disconnection from nature and spirituality are fueling today's chronic illness crisis.

Anders Sorensen is a Danish clinical psychologist with a PhD in psychiatry who has dedicated his career to an area that most professionals won't touch—and that most patients don't even know exists. He's one of the world's leading authorities on psychiatric drug dependence and the complex science of safely discontinuing these medications. His upcoming book represents years of clinical research and hands-on experience helping hundreds of people navigate what may be one of the most misunderstood medical challenges of our time. This isn't just another podcast about mental health. This is a conversation that could fundamentally change how you understand psychiatric medications, withdrawal, and what's actually happening in the brains and bodies of millions of Americans right now. Dr. McFillin and Anders dive into territory that most medical professionals avoid—not because it's controversial, but because it requires a level of specialized knowledge that simply doesn't exist in mainstream medicine. What you'll hear challenges everything you've been told about these medications, reveals why so many people feel "trapped" on their prescriptions, and exposes a gap in medical care that's affecting countless lives.Substack: https://crossingzero.substack.com/X: https://x.com/_AndersSorensenRADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Behind every psychiatric label lies a question: Is this person mentally ill, or just misunderstood by medicine? When Dr. Kaycee Bills, a social work professor with a PhD, experienced a medical emergency from low blood pressure, she was handcuffed, sedated, and locked in a psychiatric ward instead of receiving proper care. Her crime? Being a woman whose scattered Adderall pills looked "suspicious" to authorities. This shocking personal account reveals how women are systematically disbelieved by the medical establishment—diagnosed with depression and anxiety at twice the rate of men, while serious physical conditions go untreated for years. Join Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Bills as they expose the dark underbelly of psychiatric holds, forced medication, and how the mental health system often traumatizes those it claims to help.

Is EMDR therapy legitimate science or pseudoscientific sham? In this provocative debate, Dr. Roger McFillin challenges Taraleigh Stemler, a certified EMDR practitioner and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), on whether the popular trauma treatment's signature eye movements and bilateral stimulation offer any real benefit, or if exposure therapy—simply facing painful memories—is doing all the heavy lifting. As both clinicians clash over research validity, the "medicalization" of normal emotions, and whether we've created a therapy-dependent culture, this raw conversation exposes the tribal warfare happening within mental health treatment that directly impacts which therapies patients receive.Chapters00:00 The Wild West of Psychotherapy06:01 The EMDR Process Explained12:03 Challenging the Efficacy of EMDR18:10 Post-Traumatic Growth: A Different Perspective23:58 Critique of EMDR's Application30:01 Comparing EMDR to Other Treatments38:56 Therapeutic Approaches: EMDR vs. Traditional Methods46:58 Bilateral Stimulation: A Controversial Tool55:06 Client Experiences and Observations01:01:54 The Scope of EMDR: A One-Size-Fits-All Solution?01:07:04 The Need for Research and Evidence in Therapy01:15:21 Research and Effectiveness of EMDR01:23:03 The Importance of Therapeutic Relationships01:29:55 The Power of Courage in Therapy RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

Today, we're joined again by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and cohost of the “Radically Genuine” podcast, to talk about the dangers of modern psychiatry. Dr. McFillin details how depression is a part of the human condition and the truth about our "traumas." We hear the phrase "generational trauma," but what does that really mean, and why does the current generation feel more victimized than past generations? Can therapy really make you worse? Dr. McFillin reveals that there are no approved SSRI drugs for postpartum depression. What does this mean for women who are going through mental pain after childbirth?

Today on this Wellness Wednesday, we're sitting down with Brooke Siem, professional chef, 2017 champion of cooking competition show "Chopped," and author of "May Cause Side Effects: A Memoir." Brooke was put on antidepressants when she was 15, and stayed on them for the next 15 years of her life.
