Special Guest: Adam Luke, LMFT

Is it possible to discuss PPD without talking about the Lindsey Clancy trial? Yes! We may touch on it to make some points about treatment options but Adam Luke is bringing the goods when it comes to alternative approaches (alternates to yet another pill) for dealing with post-partum depression and anxiety. This is a really good conversation, offering things you can use in your sessions today. Have a listen.

FTC4 v WPATH Complaint Document

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S & Phillip Crum

The GAC industry is under attack from all quarters. The downstream subscribers of WPATH's SOC-8 are feeling the heat (Queerdocs v DOJ; HHS: Wolves in White Coats, etc) and the FTC is after WPATH for deceptive and fraudulent claims related to its SOC-8. And you thought nothing was happening!

FTC4 v WPATH Complaint Document

Special Guests: Dr. Dawn Irons LPC-S, and Soad Tabrizi, LMFT

The FTC4 v WPATH case is giving you consumer fraud on a platter. The HHS's Wolves in White Coats Report is making the case for medical billing fraud as it applies to Gender Affirming Care (GAC). The noose is tightening around ideologically-based "medical care". In this discussion we'll take a look at the report, what it's claiming, who's affected and what the possible ramifications are to the mental health profession, especially those who have participated, and those who still are.

Episode 155-FTC4 v WPATH Pt 2

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S

In Pt 2 of this series on the FTC4 vs WPATH discussion series we're going to examine WPATH's public response to the FTC4 filing, the timeline associated with the pathway to a court date, and the likelihood of settlement. Both the Pt. 1 episode and this one are leading up to the 3rd part in this series in which we will discuss the downstream impact (fallout!) of a likely FTC4 win on every entity that has hung its existential hat on WPATH's SOC8. And you thought nothing was happening?

The FTC's 123 Pg "Complaint for Permanent Injunction and Relief"

WPATH's Public Response to the FTC4 Suit

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S

The FTC and four States are suing all three WPATH legal entities for deceptice trade practices pursuant to their core product, the SOC-8. If the SOC-8 is found to be deceptive and not based on sound science then the likelihood that the entire WPATH/GAC house of cards comes tumbling down is highly likely. In this discussion we're going to take a look at the four key points upon which the FTC is basing its suit, and the ten key statements WPATH uses in their marketing of the SOC-8 that the FTC claims are highly fraudulent and deceptive. The case is strong and you need to know about it if you're a mental health professional. Especially if you've been writing treatment letters and greenlighting the ghoulish process.

Ryan Rogers' X Acct

Special Guest: Arnold Cantu, LCSW

Could the most popular treatment modality used by the mental health community today, CBT, designed to clarify the thought processes and patterns of a patient be weaponized? And how would you do that? Turns out it's pretty simple to do through the utilization of cognitive distortions rather than through their resolution. Arnold Cantu discusses how that's done and its disastrous affects.

Chiles v Salazar is this generation's (maybe this century's) Roe v. Wade in that this changes everything. The states have been reminded that they have no right to violate your 1A rights through viewpoint discrimination. That's clear enough but the downstream ramifications of that and the cleanup operation will be quite interesting to follow. Follow along as we discuss our understanding of this USSC ruling and its potential impact on the mental health profession.
