Dr. J. Anderson Thomson is a psychiatrist, and a repeat-guest here on “Growing Up Fundie.” 

On this episode, he discusses the absence of free will, and where the illusion that we are the makers of our own decisions comes from. 

He also dives into the importance of acknowledging the absence of free will when it comes to mental health professionals, and their attempts to connect with and treat their patients.
