Therapy's Grey Zone: Coachfluencers, Healing Hype, and the Black Market of Mental Health

from The Brink - Mental Health Demystified · host The Brink with Matt Hussey

In this episode, we uncover the rise of "coachfluencers"-influencers who package trauma healing, shadow work, and nervous system resets without licenses or regulation. Why are millions turning to them? What risks lurk in their promises? From NHS waitlists to TikTok trauma hashtags, we trace the cracks in the system that birthed a black market of healing-and ask who's left to protect the vulnerable when therapy becomes content.
