Fact vs. Feeling: The Psychiatry of Reality Testing | Ep 72

our emotions are data, but they aren't always directives. In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we explore Objective Reality Testing—the clinical ability to distinguish between internal mental states and external facts. We look at how the brain uses "Inference" to fill in gaps, often assuming the worst. We provide three actionable steps to "Depersonalize" a situation and look at the evidence like a forensic scientist, effectively quieting the amygdala.
