In support of his new book, “Lies My Therapist Told Me”, Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel today for a special Wretched Radio episode. “Lies My Therapist Told Me” is available for purchase today!

Segment 1:

• 1 in 4 Americans are labeled with mental illness—without blood tests or brain scans.

• Psychiatry is built on subjective symptoms, not scientific evidence.

• SSRIs are prescribed as a shot in the dark, despite unclear causes or outcomes.

Segment 2:

• Scripture defines the mind as spiritual; the brain is physical—a crucial distinction.

• Secular therapy targets the brain, but only God’s Word renews the mind (Romans 12:2).

• Outsourcing soul care to unbelievers denies biblical anthropology and gospel hope.

Segment 3:

• ADHD is often diagnosed to explain immaturity or secure school funding—not science.

• Written evaluations, not lab tests, lead to life-altering labels and medications.

• Ask hard questions: Is your child undisciplined, or just not designed for 6-hour desks?

Segment 4:

• Lies My Therapist Told Me stays boldly biblical—even with a secular publisher.

• The real solution to mental pain isn’t treatment—it’s transformation through salvation.

• You’re not broken beyond repair—Christ frees you from sin, shame, and bad labels.
