As I said I had never heard of THP, I couldn't see anything relating to ties or funding to far right from google, but in my opinion a lot of what she talks about is conspiracist. For one she is not a licensed psychologist and there appears to be a handful of licensed insta (and real life) psychologists calling her out over the information she shares (found in a VICE article). I personally think the whole "you own your mindset" and "dont chase a diagnoses" to be extremely dangerous ideologies when it comes to serious, long term mental health issues.
Yeah, I can see that. But equally her approach is very helpful to those who
don’t need to be medicated, and are simply caught up in a system that pushes pharmaceuticals rather than actually healing (remembering she’s American and their healthcare is bonkers).
It’s a tricky space. Reparenting won’t work for everyone, but it does work for a lot of people. Psychs all have their ‘flavour’ and can in-fight endlessly about who’s right & wrong. I’m not too fussed about her not being licensed - she’s not actively working in the consultation space anymore, I can’t imagine many people forking out fees for something they’re not using. She’s fully qualified and did practice for years, that’s what led her to this more holistic approach - working with countless patients who didn’t actually have mental health conditions or need to be medicated, but legally that’s the safest (and often only available) route in the States. Realising education is a form of indoctrination, to a point … there are loads of examples of this in the health sector (gaslighting women about the effects of hormonal contraception, for one. Doctors only know what they’re taught and sadly there’s quite a bit that’s been misrepresented, under-researched, or is shockingly out of date.) For those with serious conditions, absolutely, ditching everything and going it alone would be disastrous. But there are sooo many people it’s been so unbelievably enlightening to, and
not knowing about the stuff she shares is equally damaging (and expensive - read, profitable!)
I find this stuff super interesting. Largely because, with the in-fighting or “calling out” between professionals, it’s often more about ego, belief systems or profit than an actual consideration of what’s best for the patient.
Pharmaceuticals are a blessing to those who need them. But there’s no denying health (not just mental) has been overly medicalised in recent decades and for all the people it’s helped, there are many more who have been significantly harmed.
… I was about to go into a spiel about Omeprazole vs. dietary guidance as an example and realised yeah, I’m waaay off topic

Anyway WHAT WE THINKIN’ ‘BOUT FLOSS Y’ALL? I actually really like her podcast

Although haven’t listened to season 2 yet. And bits of the first were tooooo woke culture for this almost-elder millennial.
EDIT: Woke culture auto corrected to whole culture
