Dr Karin Love & Life

Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott will be back next week but in the mean time we are replaying Ep. 307, one of our more popular episodes on mental health! Whether you're hearing this episode again or for the first time we hope it will empower you! ___________________________________Recently, I read an article in Time Magazine titled, “America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?”Obviously, the content was quite sobering. How is it that mental health awareness is up, stigma is down—and yet, we’re more depressed and anxious than ever!?!I knew I wanted to discuss the article with Elliott and share it with the Love & Life community.Specifically, we unpack:The unintended consequences of a culture of “Mental Health Awareness.”How health insurance impacts the practice of psychotherapy—and even our understanding of emotional distress in general.How changes in counselors’ training programs affect not only the therapist/client relationship, but also the psychological community as a whole
