  • Host sounds like he’s asleep

    Listening to the interview with Alison Miller about RAMCO. She’s doing a great job explaining but the host sounds like he’s asleep or incredibly bored. He mumbles at times and his voice trails off to almost a whisper.

  • Promoting a private equity funded trauma therapy ??

    The treatment offered by Stella for PTSD has no RTCs to show it’s effective yet it’s promoted by this podcast. Shame on you. We have enough quackery in psychology and suffering patients deserve evidence based treatments not scams.

  • Please stop using the term “borderline”

    It’s misogynist and homophobic and disenfranchises people who meet that criteria from mental health care and health care more broadly. And please have clinicians discuss this matter NOT literature/philosophy professors.

    Let’s take an irrelevant term and then globalize it to be about society.
