In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most confusing and painful experiences in the mental health journey—what happens when you know something’s going on, but the professionals you turn to for help don’t believe you.

Yep. We’re talking about what it feels like to be gaslit by your own therapist.

I share real stories (including my own), some eye-opening stats, and the silent suffering that happens when our symptoms are minimized, misdiagnosed, or brushed off entirely—especially for folks who are neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, or all of the above.

You’ll hear about what it does to your self-trust, how we start editing our truth just to be taken seriously, and why so many of us stop reaching out for help altogether.

Then, I introduce KindPath—our behavioral health app designed to help you track your emotional patterns, get support in real time, and generate insights your provider can actually use. No gaslighting. No guessing. Just real visibility into how you’re really doing.

If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “Wait… was that me or was that them?”—this episode is for you.
