    My Story of Sudden Hearing Loss | SSNHL

    It's good to be back! Today I'm sharing my experience of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) a couple of months ago, and the aftermath that's unfolded since. I know this is a deviation from my usual topics, but I'd love people to be informed in case you or a loved one suddenly loses hearing. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is considered a medical emergency, but is often missed by medical professionals. I'll be back to my usual Private Practice Skills antics next week :) Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode. Paubox makes HIPAA-secure email easy and streamlined.

    Trying AI Therapy (I'm a Psychologist)

    Once I heard the APA cite evidence that an AI therapy chatbot was effective at treating symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, and disordered eating, I knew I had to give it a try for myself. I wanted to know if an AI therapist could help me not only with symptom management, but if it could help me discern what path best aligns with my values through a difficult decision I've genuinely been wrestling with. In this episode, I meet with an AI "digital therapist" for three sessions. Was the AI therapy app able to help me?

    How Virtual Therapists Can Get Found Online Without a Google Business Profile

    Google Business Profile has always been a great tool to market your practice. Most recently, it's apparent that AI will pull directly from Google Business Profile when recommending a therapist to someone. Sadly, exclusively virtual therapy practices are not allowed to have a Google Business Profile (there are workarounds, but they are not allowed, so I don't cover those in this episode). But if you have an onlie practice, no need to fret! In this episode, I share a checklist of reasonable, simple tools you can easily use to make sure your virtual therapy practice is showing up online. Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

    AI is now Your Therapist and Spouse

    According to the latest issue of the APA Monitor on Psychology, the top two trending topics for 2026 are about how people are interacting with AI for therapy and for companionship (and yes, some people are marrying their AI companion). In this episode, we dive into these two APA articles to take a look at the positives and downsides of using AI in these "human-like" interactions. As always, you can expect a little snarky commentary from me as well :D Articles Mentioned: Article: "AI, neuroscience, and data are fueling personalized mental health care” https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-personalized-mental-health-care Article: "AI chatbots and digital companions are reshaping emotional connection” https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-digital-ai-relationships-emotional-connection LINKS: *Some links are affiliate links.
