Licensed Clinical Psychologist giving you evidence based information and resources for your mental health and well being.

The definition of Holistic according to the Oxford Dictionary: adjective: characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole. MEDICINE: characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
Weird. It’s almost like becoming a charlatan erodes your ability to provide ethical and accurate information about mental health to the public 🙃.

Because wellness grifters don’t actually have expertise or the depth of knowledge to create a novel intervention, they use already established theories and then add a grain of pseudoscience to make it sound novel. Trauma stored in the body is a bastardized dumb ass version of what conversion disorders and the like used to be. Which is wild because wellness critics will tell you that conventional mental health sees the mind and body as separate 🙃.
Also, The last post I made went viral and has been the most popular post since I created this account 7 years ago. Let’s see what the algorithm does next. And welcome to all of our new friends. I hope you like the ethical evidence based side of instagram instead 😎

Spring has sprung, but the Wellness influencer’s cherry picking season never ends. Weird that having a degree in journalism doesn’t make you adept at critically appraising research…🙃

Arguably, the most impactful way that your diet is actually going to influence your mental heath and well being that’s unrelated to behavioral activation and 1:1 support from a dietician. It’s wild how fast the SMILES trial became gospel while decades of research on cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes quietly do the actual heavy lifting.

If you don’t like the “political content” I post which includes the Jewish community calling out antisemitism that’s happening all over the United States, maybe you should ask yourself why that bothers you instead of telling me what you think I should post instead. Just a thought 😘

I also commented “OCD” on this post and have on other posts to get access to the medical advice he’s giving to people who have a serious mental health disorder, but alas, I never get the message or the link 🙃. Either way, expertise matters, evidence based treatment for OCD matters, ethical standards matter. What doesn’t matter is a chiropractor’s thoughts on a debilitating mental health condition.

Is the definition of to lie about what we have known in “conventional” medicine for like 25 years now? Weird to use your title as Dr. and then not report on what you should know as a literal expert in your field, but I digress. TLDR; don’t listen to the holistic psychologist for mental health information. maybe you should like address this behavior or something?

This also includes rogue MDs and PhDs who chose the grifter route when evidence-based practice wasn’t profitable enough—while continuing to weaponize their titles as authority 🤢. I hope you’re taking notice of the docs in the field overstepping their boundaries and creating ethical dilemmas on this app everyday 😘

And honestly, labeling something as “evidence-based” is limited by the American Psychological Association’s criteria, but those standards at least help ensure treatments are safer and push clinicians to check their own biases. How we appraise research matters, like a f**k ton.
Also, the idea that PVT offers clinical
utility because it helps provide a narrative isn’t a sufficient enough reason to promote it in favor of other evidence based treatments for trauma related disorders. If you are going to use PVT in clinical practice, you need to inform your clients of its non evidence base and what that means compared to an evidence based intervention that’s also available as a treatment option.
Also, also: “Clinicians also choose to use a variety of frameworks irrespective of scientific rigor. Some use the chakra system. Others use cognitive behavioral therapy.” This is why we need clinicians to understand research appraisal and why a scientist practitioner model is so important. In fact, it’s imperative.

The Original Hippocratic Oath that doctors are supposed to subscribe to: The classical oath includes the promise to “abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.”
The most recent popular brand of professional wellness influencers includes rogue MD’s who have personal experience with an ailment that conventional medicine failed to provide relief for. This culminates to personal experimentation and self proclaimed expertise when they figured out how to treat themselves. Sound familiar? Then they write a book (don’t publish any RCT’s) and continue to spread misinformation about the very field they both say they are an expert in all while using their conventional medicine title to support it. Yikes. If you wanna know more about evidence based practice in clinical psychology and what interventions actually work (and not because I think they do), stay tuned for more on this topic.

Changing your beliefs in the face of new evidence is cool. I couldn’t come up with a philosophical caption so here we are 😘 it’s good to be wrong 🫶🏼
