"Allison in Wonderland" is a true passion project that isn't just about putting mental health into a box that is only about anxiety, depression, or other common topics. "Allison in Wonderland" is about everything that is in that box, as well as all of the things that don't quite fit into a box. I am excited to host this podcast to discuss mental well-being, mental health in the workplace, corporate culture, self-care, and so much more! Most episodes will have guest speakers that are industry professionals or advocates who feel passionately about these topics!

    Phyllis Leavitt: Author of "America in Therapy"

    Phyllis Leavitt and Allison Frye discussed the topics of Phylli's upcoming book, "America in Therapy," which looks at how the dynamics of the country mirror abuse, family dynamics, and how the issues have been presented as political and ideological but are actually mental health issues. They also discussed the need to own the difficult truths of history and the disconnect between what people want for themselves and what they vote for. Phyllis Leavitt is a psychotherapist with a Masters in Counseling and Psychology who has been in private practice for over 30 years. She has written two books and is currently writing a third about the influence of families on the development of individuals and how the principles of good psychotherapy can help heal the human relations in the US. She has noticed that people are coming to therapy traumatized by what's going on in the country and that the disconnect between what people want and the government's agenda is alarming. Allison Frye suggests that mental health should be a national agenda, with resources funneled into it, to create an environment that can support healthy families. She also suggests that good psychotherapy is necessary to heal from trauma but that resources are not always available to everyone. Finally, she suggests that mental health should be taught in schools, with programs like More Than Sad, to recognize and address mental health issues. Phyllis Leavitt and Allison Frye discussed the importance of mental health education and how it can help shift the paradigm of how people view mental health. They also discussed the need for more resources to be put into mental health initiatives and how media can help to destigmatize mental health issues.
