Jan 101:13:35Tap to summarizeWhat happens when a psychiatrist trained in one of the most research-driven programs in the world starts asking questions nobody wants to answer? Dr. John Yaakov Guterson is a board-certified psychiatrist who trained at the prestigious Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh, once the top-funded psychiatric research program in the world. He served as medical director of multiple psychiatric hospitals for over 25 years while maintaining a private practice. Known as "The Singing Psychiatrist," Dr. Guterson has produced over 750 videos exploring the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and the human soul. In this conversation, we go where mainstream psychiatry refuses to go. We talk about what gets lost when you reduce the human soul to a checklist of symptoms. We explore whether suffering might actually mean something. And we ask a question the medical establishment has worked very hard to bury: What if we've been getting this wrong for a century?

Transcribe →178. When Women's Physical Symptoms Are Dismissed as Mental Illness
Apr 3, 202501:20:35Tap to summarizeBehind every psychiatric label lies a question: Is this person mentally ill, or just misunderstood by medicine? When Dr. Kaycee Bills, a social work professor with a PhD, experienced a medical emergency from low blood pressure, she was handcuffed, sedated, and locked in a psychiatric ward instead of receiving proper care. Her crime? Being a woman whose scattered Adderall pills looked "suspicious" to authorities. This shocking personal account reveals how women are systematically disbelieved by the medical establishment—diagnosed with depression and anxiety at twice the rate of men, while serious physical conditions go untreated for years. Join Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Bills as they expose the dark underbelly of psychiatric holds, forced medication, and how the mental health system often traumatizes those it claims to help.

Transcribe →78. Bipolar: 1 in 5000 to 1 in 20
Mar 13, 202500:50:24Tap to summarizeReposting this important episode from 2 years ago. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is a modern concept. Manic depressive episodes have historically been rare. Once recognized in approximately 1 in every 5,000 people, it has since ballooned to a nearly 5% prevalence rate over the last 50 years. Further expansion into children and the creation of Bipolar II places more people at risk of misdiagnosis. On today’s podcast we discuss bipolar disorder.If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

Transcribe →175. Is EMDR a Revolutionary Psychotherapy or Pseudoscientific Sham?
Mar 6, 202501:37:32Tap to summarizeIs EMDR therapy legitimate science or pseudoscientific sham? In this provocative debate, Dr. Roger McFillin challenges Taraleigh Stemler, a certified EMDR practitioner and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), on whether the popular trauma treatment's signature eye movements and bilateral stimulation offer any real benefit, or if exposure therapy—simply facing painful memories—is doing all the heavy lifting. As both clinicians clash over research validity, the "medicalization" of normal emotions, and whether we've created a therapy-dependent culture, this raw conversation exposes the tribal warfare happening within mental health treatment that directly impacts which therapies patients receive.Chapters00:00 The Wild West of Psychotherapy06:01 The EMDR Process Explained12:03 Challenging the Efficacy of EMDR18:10 Post-Traumatic Growth: A Different Perspective23:58 Critique of EMDR's Application30:01 Comparing EMDR to Other Treatments38:56 Therapeutic Approaches: EMDR vs. Traditional Methods46:58 Bilateral Stimulation: A Controversial Tool55:06 Client Experiences and Observations01:01:54 The Scope of EMDR: A One-Size-Fits-All Solution?01:07:04 The Need for Research and Evidence in Therapy01:15:21 Research and Effectiveness of EMDR01:23:03 The Importance of Therapeutic Relationships01:29:55 The Power of Courage in Therapy RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!
