What does it really take to leave academic medicine and build a practice on your own terms? Psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Reid has done it — and written a book about the guilt that followed.

In this episode, Dr. Reid joins host Dr. Marissa Caudill to discuss her journey from UCLA residency through county work, New York private practice, academic medicine, and eventual burnout — before stepping away to write Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations. She shares the honest side of publishing, the two-year timeline from book deal to shelves, and how writing helped her finally understand her own guilt patterns.

She also breaks down the new 12-week outpatient psychiatry model she's building — blending CBT for insomnia, interpersonal therapy, and her guilt-free framework — designed for patients who want real tools, not lifelong treatment.
