    🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss is that BIG Marketing teams influence us not by the product, but by the captivating persona selling it. KNOW, LIKE and TRUST are the basis of their tactics. 
    🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses several BIG NAME authors, podcast hosts and television show hosts that you may admire and TRUST. Be open to the idea that these individuals may perpetuate false ideals and live untruthful stories simply to promote their brand.

    Med Wash, Med Stack, Repeat

    Med Wash, Med Stack, Repeat

    🎙️Are you taking two or more psychiatric medications to treat the same pain point? Have you been taken off multiple psychiatric medications at the same time and assured that THE NEW YOU will emerge? 

    Join your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn TODAY on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we talk TRUTH about polypharmacy and medication washing as dangerous treatment strategies that cause HARM.
     💬 Have you or someone you know faced these challenges? Share your story in the comments below and join us in raising awareness about this important issue.

    🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss is that medication washing is presented to patients as a “new baseline” from which the NEW YOU emerges. What’s not shared with patients is that the NEW YOU cannot be established for months or even years as the brain and body go through withdrawal. The sad solution - ADD more medication. 

    🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses research and personal experience around how we are GASLIT by providers to believe that medication stacking is going to fix mental health struggles. Suppose you are taking multiple medications to manage the same mental health condition. In that case, you are the definition of polypharmacy which may trigger anger and feeling helpless at the hands of prescribers.

    Embrace a journey of connection and revelation as Jen and I tear down the walls of distance through our first in-person meeting in over a decade, in the sanctuary of a library. We unpack the layers of a virtual relationship that thrives on empathy and understanding, and the strange irony of therapists seeking therapy. Our conversation uncovers the beauty and challenge in the work we do, and its profound effect on not just our clients, but us as well, sometimes moving us to tears. Through personal stories and experiences, we venture into the heart of therapeutic impact and the shared human condition in our quest for healing.

    Navigating the murky waters of polypharmacy, we confront the hard truths of mental health treatment and the fine line between help and hindrance that multiple prescriptions can represent. With anecdotes of dependency spirals and blurred lines between symptoms and side effects, the discussion calls for a paradigm shift. We advocate for a holistic approach to mental wellness that champions nutrition and lifestyle, and dare to question the status quo of our healthcare's co

    Truth Exposed: Maybe You're Born With It, Maybe It's Inflammation

    Truth Exposed: Maybe You're Born With It, Maybe It's Inflammation

    When our bodies whisper tales of discomfort, it's our minds that often scream out in response. This isn't just poetic musing but the thrust of our latest Gaslit Truth Podcast episode, where the often-ignored nexus of inflammation and mental health takes center stage. With the insightful guest therapist Jen by our side, we tackle the Western medical model's shortcomings, offering a fresh lens to view conditions like depression as not just psychological battles but also physical ones. We wrangle with the idea that your mood might be more deeply entwined with inflammation than you've ever considered, and that the usual prescription pad approach might need a rethink.

    Witnessing a seizure recently threw me back into the past, dredging up memories that I thought were long buried. It was a powerful, unwelcome reminder of how our past shadows our present, physically and mentally. In this conversation, we weave personal narratives with discussions on 'toxic positivity', the intricate dance between our thoughts and our body's inflammatory responses, and therapeutic avenues like EMDR that can help intercept this cycle. We break down the barriers between mind and body, investigating how our internal dialogue can send ripples throughout our physiology, potentially derailing our mental health journey.

    We wrap up this deep dive with a look at the often-overlooked pillars of mental health: digestive health, detoxification, and diet. It's not just about the food on our plates but the words that feed our minds. As we piece together the puzzle of mood disorders, we highlight the two-way street between the gut and the brain, encouraging a dialogue that extends beyond our episode. We invite you to join us on this exploration of the self, sharing your stories and adding to the tapestry of experiences that shape the Gaslit Truth Podcast community.

    Big Egos, Small Minds, Horrific Truths

    Big Egos, Small Minds, Horrific Truths

    Discover the disturbing truths and hidden controversies of the mental health field as Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen join us for an unflinching examination of the discipline's murky past. This episode peels back the curtain on the profession's earliest days, revealing how the shadows of eugenics and the asylum system continue to loom large over modern practices. As we dissect the legacy of figures like Freud and spotlight the stark omissions in our educational curriculum, we promise a journey that will not only inform but also provoke a critical re-evaluation of the mental health narrative.

    The annals of psychiatric care are marred by interventions that now seem barbaric, and our conversation takes a hard look at the life-threatening surgeries performed by Dr. Cotton, whose work was once praised. These grim tales serve as stark reminders of the necessity for ethical practices in mental health care. With Dr. Terri Lynn and therapist Jen as our guides, we reflect on the enduring implications of historical treatments and emphasize the need for empathy and patient-centered approaches in the wake of ego-driven agendas that have tainted our field's history.

    Wrapping up our episode, we probe the complexities of current psychiatric research and practice, challenging the integrity of studies that influence our understanding of treatments such as ECT and antidepressants. With a critical eye, we discuss the importance of transparency in psychiatric research and the honoring of patient experiences. By the end of this thought-provoking dialogue, listeners are urged to consider the implications of past practices on the present and to recognize the vital role of ethical standards in shaping the future of mental health care.

Your stories resonate deeply, fueling our passion to dissect iatrogenic effects and the holistic approaches that are often overlooked in treatment.
