IFS & Neuroscience with Dr. Frank Anderson Episode

As someone who is doing ongoing research into IFS, this episode was both informative and empowering.

Activism and mental health?

I quite enjoyed this series and the variety of clinicians and providers. The most recent episode however delved into bringing radical politics into the treatment room and moved away from patient-centric treatments. There also seemed to be a complete lack of empathy or desire to treat individuals who may be experiencing trauma. Is the purpose of mental health to push your beliefs on your patients or refuse to acknowledge their suffering? .

Disappointed lack insight and actual facts

Awful using decolonization and people of color to spread anti semitism! Please review some actual history and events in Israel and Palestine. Israel is not w colony they returned to their homeland and try many times for a two state solution. Currently hostages including a 1yr old is being held in Gaza no genocide is happening but yes an awful war for the return of the hostages and defenses after awful burtal rapes and murders on 10/7. Israel has tried for a cease fire Hamas says no. Lets not minimize the experience of actual genocide like the holocaust or experience of BIPOC folks by adding lies. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
