🎙️🆕 The Exploitation of Therapists & Clients: Big Tech Mental Health Platforms Ca$h in 

Ever noticed how celebrities such as our mystery guest start endorsing new ”products” just when mental health awareness month comes around? 😔 It's one thing to exploit our insecurities, but preying on our mental health is a whole new level. And Big Tech? They’re leading the charge. 🚨🧠

These giants care little about the quality of mental health services you receive. They don't bother to vet or honestly represent the clinicians they hire. It’s all about the benjamins$$$. 💸

Can questioning the automatic prescription of psychiatric medications change your life? Hear a heartfelt story from one of our listeners who did just that and found empowerment in exploring alternative ways to handle major life events. This episode kicks off with Jen sharing an inspiring encounter that reaffirms the importance of curiosity and self-advocacy in personal health decisions. We stand with anyone facing similar challenges and encourage you to reach out and explore all your healthcare options.

Do big tech companies genuinely care about your mental health? We stir the pot with a heated discussion on the ethics of big tech's involvement in the mental health industry, sparked by Tom Brady's role as a spokesperson for BetterHelp. We scrutinize the superficial vetting processes of large platforms and the commodification of mental health services, contrasting them with more personalized telehealth practices. Listen to our personal experiences and concerns about profit-driven motives overshadowing genuine care for both therapists and clients.

Is online therapy compromising the integrity of mental health care? Discover the complexities and ethical concerns surrounding online therapy platforms like BetterHelp. We delve into the unrealistic expectations placed on clinicians, the undervaluation of mental health care, and the financial struggles faced by therapists. We question the ethics of high-profile advertising and emphasize the importance of seeking help from licensed professionals. Join us as we wrap up the conversation, highlighting the need for fair compensation for therapists and the challenges of sustaining a modest wage in this field. Engage with us on social media and stay tuned for insights from our top-tier celebrity guest.
