What if the narrative around antidepressants and mental health stigma has been all wrong? Join us as we, Dr. Teralyn and therapist Jen, unpack the controversial claims linking SSRIs to behaviors like school shootings, sparked by a fiery debate between Senator Tina Smith and Robert F Kennedy Jr., RFK Jr. Senator Smith opens up about her personal journey with SSRIs, shedding light on the critical role of accessible mental health care and challenging the narrative that medication alone can transform personal relationships. Together, we argue for informed, balanced conversations about mental health treatments that transcend political bias and misinformation.
Imagine experiencing withdrawal symptoms so severe they mimic drug addiction—yet it’s from antidepressants. We tackle the often-overlooked complexities of psychiatric medication withdrawal, highlighting the inadequate research on tapering methods and the stark reality that many face. Our discussion questions the prevailing narrative of lifelong medication, urging a more comprehensive understanding of the benefits and risks associated with antidepressant use. Through personal stories and staggering statistics, we reveal how withdrawal can be misinterpreted as relapse, calling for transparent discourse and genuine informed consent.
Can we break the cycle of mental health stigma and oversimplification in treatment approaches? We explore the weaponization of stigma, challenging assumptions about antidepressants' links to aggression or suicidality, especially during withdrawal. By encouraging broader, more nuanced conversations, we aim to dismantle simplistic narratives and highlight diverse experiences. As current political events ignite burnout, we share our commitment to fostering inclusive discussions, inviting listeners to engage with us and share their own stories. Join us on the Gaslit Truth Podcast as we strive for a world where mental health dialogues are informed, compassionate, and stigma-free.

Is the esteemed combination of psychotherapy and psychiatric medication really the gold standard for mental health treatment, or have we been led astray by conventional wisdom? On today's episode of the Gaslit Truth Podcast, we challenge the mainstream belief and examine the influence of the pharmaceutical industry in shaping this narrative. As trained dialectical behavior therapists, we unravel the complexities surrounding therapeutic failures and question if it’s the medications rather than therapeutic interventions that often fall short. We take a critical look at educational materials, inviting listeners to share any textbooks that unwaveringly promote this combination.
The placebo effect might just be the unsung hero in the story of antidepressants' perceived success. Join us as we dissect studies that pit antidepressants against placebos, revealing the often-overlooked power of psychotherapy as a standalone treatment, especially in severe cases of depression. We argue for the empowerment of therapists to lean into their therapeutic skills without defaulting to medication. Our conversation is particularly relevant for those in crisis, where the immediacy of medication might seem appealing but may not be the ultimate answer.
As the therapy profession evolves, the tension between traditional and modern views becomes more apparent. Inspired by a young therapist's self-care controversy on TikTok, we explore how personal habits and lived experiences shape therapeutic approaches. The episode highlights the transformative power of therapy, encouraging therapists and consumers alike to share their stories. We remind listeners of the invaluable role community and support play in mental health care, inviting everyone to contribute their insights and join our ongoing conversation.

Join your Deep-Throating Informants, Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn, on The Gaslit Truth Podcast as we expose the truth about setting powerful intentions and reclaiming your agency to drive real change in your life. 🔥
🎧 Tune in NOW and start owning your journey this year!
💬 Have you or someone you know faced these challenges? Share your story in the comments below and join us in raising awareness about this important issue.
🚫 One key aspect we'll discuss: New Year’s Resolution marketing is rooted in pain points and without self-awareness of your own emotional limitations, you will be taken advantage of.
🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: Listen! It has been a year for Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn! We are proud of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, so it’s time to adjust our crown! 👑 In this episode, we talk about how FABULOUS your Whistle-Blowing Shrinks really are AND we offer a humble Thank You to our listeners❤️
Ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure of New Year's resolutions? You're not alone. In our season finale of the Gaslit Truth Podcast, we explore the psychological undercurrents of this annual tradition. By humorously tying our discussion to Taylor Swift's iconic eras, we unpack how the term "resolution" is being reinvented into something more personal, like "intention" or "journey." We also shine a light on how businesses have cleverly turned resolutions into a marketing goldmine, tapping into post-holiday aspirations for self-improvement while often setting us up with unrealistic expectations. Join us as we navigate the slippery slope of societal pressures and show you how to set realistic, structured goals that sidestep the marketing madness.
Picture this: you've set a goal, but if you're anything like the rest of us, you've likely struggled to keep that spark of motivation alive. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the mindset and preparation needed to foster lasting behavior change. We talk about the negative baggage that often comes with the idea of "lifestyle change" and propose a refreshing perspective on personal growth. Through our own stories, we examine how significant life events can fuel motivation and how self-narratives can either bolster or undermine our resolve. Tune in to uncover the secrets of aligning your goals with your self-perception and the vital role preparation plays in shaping new habits.
Our final chapters take a more introspective approach, focusing on personal responsibility in wellness and the power of setting intentions with consistency. We explore the liberating journey of finding autonomy in health management, challenging the rigid plans often imposed by the fitness industry. By sharing personal experiences of stepping away from external prescriptions, we highlight the power of trusting your instincts and self-discovery. As we wrap up, gratitude fills the air for our loyal listeners, remarkable guests, and my co-host Jen, celebrating a year of achievements and setting our sights on a vibrant, community-filled future. Let's march into the new year with enthusiasm, and remember, it's all about pacing ourselves to prevent burnout while cherishing the journey.

Licensed neuropsychotherapist and author Britt Frank joins us to turn traditional therapy concepts on their heads. Contrary to the notion that our brains are inherently flawed, Britt argues for viewing the brain as an ally in our survival journey. Her personal experiences with trauma and addiction fuel her drive to challenge outdated therapeutic models, shifting the focus from dysfunction to empowerment. Through her insights, she invites us to reimagine mental health as an ever-evolving journey rather than a destination marked by being "healed."
We navigate through often tangled therapeutic dialogues, questioning the entrenched reliance on therapists and medication as signs of dysfunction. Instead, we explore the power of personal agency and therapeutic independence. The episode tackles the fear of inner work, underlining how facing our internal narrative can reveal an innate goodness, even if past choices suggest otherwise. Britt shares her innovative approaches, including workbooks inspired by her book "The Science of Stuck," encouraging listeners to actively participate in their mental health journey.
Finally, we address the evolution of therapy practices, emphasizing the necessity for the field to keep up with advancements in brain science. Britt's upcoming book, "Align Your Mind," promises to delve further into harmonizing our internal dialogues.

After enduring a difficult period of anxiety and depression following a traumatic event at the age of 15, Susie Amendola found a powerful ally in yoga, which she shares in this episode of the Gaslit Truth Podcast. Susie's journey to healing began when her mother introduced her to yoga, during a time when mental health was rarely discussed, and holistic clinics offered a beacon of hope. For over three decades, Susie has been committed to teaching the authentic essence of yoga, and she joins us to discuss the transformative power of this ancient practice, contrasting its healing potential with the often commercialized versions found in the western world.
We also break down stereotypes and misconceptions about yoga, emphasizing its inclusivity and accessibility to individuals of all body types, shapes, and sizes. My own experience of becoming a certified yoga instructor during the pandemic shed light on trauma-informed yoga's focus on personal connection and self-awareness. By centering and embodying these practices, yoga emerges as a transformative tool for stress relief and healing, encouraging a culture where everyone can find a place, regardless of preconceived notions or physical abilities.
Our conversation further explores the principles of trauma-sensitive yoga and the importance of creating safe spaces for healing. Susie shares insights from her work with a lifestyle program for cardiac patients inspired by Dr. Dean Ornish, showcasing the profound impact of yoga, a vegan diet, and stress management on heart disease, depression, and diabetes. We delve into practical stress management techniques, the importance of internal self-care practices, and the value of mindfulness. By embracing these practices, we learn to foster a profound sense of well-being and presence, underscoring the power of yoga in personal healing and transformation.
