In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the reality of the mental health system—how therapists are forced to work within a framework that often manages symptoms instead of truly healing people.I dive into: 💡 Why many trauma therapies fall short in fully integrating and neutralizing trauma 💡 How insurance dictates treatment, making powerful healing modalities inaccessible 💡 The problem with long-term therapy cycles—and why it’s not the client’s fault 💡 The truth about mental health diagnoses—how they’re required for insurance but can be weaponized against you 💡 Why therapists need to look beyond their scope to address physical health, sleep, hormones, and moreThe system is broken, and it’s time we start talking about it. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with therapy or wondered why healing feels like an uphill battle, you need to listen to this episode.--------------------- If you're interested in my recommended red light therapy tools, visit boncharge.com and get a 15% discount with my code: MHM ---------------------Reach out to me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/andrea.clark.mftFollow @truthaboutmentalhealthpodcast on InstagramFollow @truthaboutmentalhealth on TikTok
