Therapy Disruptors

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 do...

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S We've all been to conferences and they all follow a similar format. This one is different. In this episode Kathleen and Phillip explain why and how the AMHP conferences are different, what that means for you and your practice, and why you need to be there.

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S 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 a...

Special Guests : Dr. Melanie Crites-Bachert, Mark Sutherland, Andrew Mullinax Pelvic reconstruction surgeon Dr Melanie Crites-Bachert's foray into the public disclosure of the horrors of trans-surgeries has led her to the next great milestone in her journey; the development of a film company to produce a massive documentary.

Special Guest: Dr. Peter Glidden, Naturopath Dr Glidden is adamant that our medical system is broken. We have the best ER/trauma care program in the world but when it comes to curing things, not so much. This is the kind of information that you don't need until you need it and then it's likely too late; like buying homeowners insurance after the tornado. This guy is a firehose of informati...

Dr Irons is one of our more frequent guests because she's a whiz in the research department. It's no secret that the ACA has its own agenda for the counseling profession, which doesn't jibe with a very large segment of mental health professionals so when the ACA posted its proposed draft of their updated 2026 Code of Ethics, she was all over it to see what's changed. In this hour,...

Special Guest: Dr. P It's no secret that one of Cultural Marxism's foundational tools is the reshaping of the King's English. Redefine everything and if it can't be twisted properly, make it up! One such concept is that of "gender dysphoria". GD is the ruse upon which everything else having to do with GAC is built. Dismantle that verbal redirection and the whole house of...

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S and Phillip Crum The attack on free speech to promote a social agenda in the therapy room is over. Almost. The heavy lifting has been done now that the USSC has ruled on the Chiles vs Salazar case. All that remains to be done is purging the 26 states that find themselves on the wrong side of this ruling of their state laws that push a viewpoint at the expense of...

Special Guest: Pamela Garfield Jaeger LCSW Most "activists" planned a quiet life. Raise a family, go to work, be nice to other people. They never planned to be a feather-ruffler. They were quietly sucked into the role because life wouldn't leave them alone and they're wired to fight back in their own way. Meet author, counselor, wife and activist, Pamela Garfield Jaeger, LCSW. No...

Special Guest: Dr. Henry Ealy Meet the featured speaker at for the 4th Annual AMHP Conference Day 3. This is a Renaissance Man. "We need to reimagine what the mental health counselor of the future looks like and add to your available tools" to help your patients. There's a reason we're giving Dr. Ealy both speaker hours on Day 3 and after you listen to this interview, you'll...

Special Guest: Dr. Melanie Crites-Bachert There are three stages of trauma the transitioned are dealing with and we're just now entering into the uncharted territory of the third stage. Stage 1 is sold with flowery, inclusive language that oppresses dissenting thought. Stage 2 deals with the horrible mental and physical impact from transitioning, maiming foreign chemicals and unnecessary, irre...

Special Guest: Dr. James L. Nuzzo Exercise is not yet a big part of the mental health treatment landscape. Exercise NEEDS to be a major part of the mental health landscape and Dr. James L. Nuzzo is here to make the case. It's inexpensive if not free, frequently effective immediately, and has none of the side effects you'll see listed in the Big Pharma TV ads. Exercise as a mental health to...

Special Guest: Dr. Richard Bosshardt Retired plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard Bosshardt, joined us to share his thoughts on the recently updated position statements by the ASPS and the AMA.

Special Guests-Rebecca Smith LPC-s, Dr. Melanie Crites Bachert Body modification surgeries, specifically, feminizing the male frame have been in the news lately.

Special Guest: Dr. James Greenblatt, MD (Psych) Modern psychiatry has been the sales arm of the pharmaceutical industry, but through the work of psychiatrists like Dr. James Greenblatt the discipline is beginning to view and understand the roots of mental illness through the lenses of diet, metabolics, and other physical contributors. Through the guidance of Dr. Greenblatt and others, a renaissanc...

Special Guest: Dr. Dawn Irons Dignitary Safety is the left's attempt to protect everyone from getting their feelings hurt. The problem with this impossibility is that it's impossible. When you attempt to make up a new set of rules to govern that which is natural, your attempts will ultimately come back around to bite you in sensitive areas. Join us right now as Dr. Dawn Irons connects the...

Special Guest: Gina Bria, HydrationFoundation.org The topic of water and proper hydration is critical to good mental health.

Special Guest: Dr. James Nuzzo "Cancelled" is a euphemism for getting fired because your beliefs, your research, and your public statements don't support the social narrative of those in charge. Dr. James Nuzzo has experienced the wrath of the mean girls in power because his research into the physical differences between boys and girls highlighted some uncomfortable truths. In this d...

Special Guest: Dr. Jeff Wulfman The world recognized and dealt with reductionist, Newtonian Physics first and we're all familiar with its basic concepts: time, space, motion, gravity. We don't question their existence or their place in our lives. The study of really small elements of creation is called Quantum Physics and that's an entirely different ballgame with different ramificatio...
