Love and Life with Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott Americans are Getting More Therapy, but We’re Less Happy. What’s Going On? Ep. 307
Recently, I read an article in Time Magazine titled, “America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?”
Obviously, the content was quite sobering. How is it that mental health awareness is up, stigma is down—and yet, we’re more depressed and anxious than ever!?!
I knew I wanted to discuss the article with Elliott and share it with the Love & Life community.
Specifically, we unpack:
- The unintended consequences of a culture of “Mental Health Awareness.”
- How health insurance impacts the practice of psychotherapy—and even our understanding of emotional distress in general.
- How changes in counselors’ training programs affect not only the therapist/client relationship, but also the psychological community as a whole.
Oh, and let’s not forget Pharma. The realities we highlight throughout the episode wouldn’t be occurring without a healthy dose—pun intended—of Big Pharma influence.
Join us as we break down the current landscape while also providing hope for a more holistic, empowered approach to emotional wellbeing!
