Dr Kenneth Brown is another one of Kip's many local contacts and he has a thriving N. Dallas gastrointestinal practice. While technically an allopathic practitioner he is all about a natural approach to dealing with gut issues and is keenly aware of their effects on the mind and overall mental health of the patient. If a patient's mental challenge is a direct effect of a gut issue which can be reduced or eliminated through a diet or lifestyle change, why would you want to keep the problem and only manage the symptoms with yet another Big Pharma psychotropic drug? Have a listen, you're going to enjoy this one.

A couple weeks ago we were pondering the question, if the affirming care process for minors is illegal in at least 12 states so far, is the affirming care letter that is required by those that practice this evil also illegal? Does it open up a mental health counselor to any liability? And that is the topic of this week's discussion.

From Kathleen's email InBox we get this week's topic of discussion. West Coast psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman has led a group of accomplished medical professionals to draft a letter to the APA demanding they recall a recently published book based on the flimsiest of science, if at all. This book is being touted as the go-to book for the transgender community and, well, you can hear the rest for yourself.

In this episode we talk to another of Kip's life-long contacts (is there no end to this woman's list of friends!?), Matt McGinnis. Matt is a former pastor and a former fire-fighter in the TX panhandle area for over 20 years and has spear-headed a program aimed at teaching front-line responders how to talk to each other about their PTSD-inducing experiences given their inherent reluctance to talk to a counselor. His insights into how that affects you and your practice, your part in responding to Black Swan events, and the guys and gals at your local firehouse is eye-opening to say the least. Worth your time for sure.

Episode 49-Hormones and Mental Health

Look what Kip dragged in! A long-time friend of hers, Dr Christopher Riegel, is a specialist in non-Big-Pharma hormone replacement therapy and its' effects on mental health. This is a fascinating discussion and explains most of the questions about life and its meaning that you've had for the past 20 years. Ok, that may be stretching things a bit but this is a really good, well-spent 45 minutes of your life. You can thank me later.

The Behavioral Health Executive Council (the governing body over the TX mental health licensing boards) sent out a survey last month in anticipation of developing their next 5 year plan. I'm sure most states do something similar for budget planning and accountability purposes so join in and have a listen as Kathleen Mills LPC-S and Kip Rodgers LPC-S review their answers to the survey questions in typical, "hold nothing back" fashion.

What does it mean to "be happy"? Is being happy really a goal of mental health or an existential outcome of achieving a proper equilibrium of other emotions and thoughts? Are we supposed to be happy all the time or is life really a series of ups and downs that equates to normalcy? Kip's on a roll in this episode because of the wave of parents coming into her office that believe being happy is the measure of a well-adjusted child. Have a listen and see if we're missing the mark, or not, with the popular, "I just want him to be happy" focus.
