Special Guests: Dr. Dawn Irons LPC-S, and Soad Tabrizi, LMFTThe FTC4 v WPATH case is giving you consumer fraud on a platter. The HHS's Wolves in White Coats Report is making the case for medical billing fraud as it applies to Gender Affirming Care (GAC). The noose is tightening around ideologically-based "medical care". In this discussion we'll take a look at the report, what it's claiming, who's affected and what the possible ramifications are to the mental health profession, especially those who have participated, and those who still are.Show NotesAMHP's X AcctDr. Dawn Iron's X AcctSoad Tabrizi's X AcctAMHP's Facebook AccountAMHP's Annual Conference InformationAMHP Conference Exhibitor Info PageThe Austin BBQ ClubThe HHS Report-Full Report for DownloadHHS Report YouTube VideoSoad Tabrizi's Conservative Counselors WebsiteDr. Dawn Irons' Website

Both the Pt. 1 episode and this one are leading up to the 3rd part in this series in which we will discuss the downstream impact (fallout!) of a likely FTC4 win on every entity that has hung its existential hat on WPATH's SOC8.

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-SThe FTC and four States are suing all three WPATH legal entities for deceptice trade practices pursuant to their core product, the SOC-8. If the SOC-8 is found to be deceptive and not based on sound science then the likelihood that the entire WPATH/GAC house of cards comes tumbling down is highly likely. In this discussion we're going to take a look at the four key points upon which the FTC is basing its suit, and the ten key statements WPATH uses in their marketing of the SOC-8 that the FTC claims are highly fraudulent and deceptive. The case is strong and you need to know about it if you're a mental health professional. Especially if you've been writing treatment letters and greenlighting the ghoulish process.Show NotesAMHP's X AcctAMHP's Facebook AccountAMHP's Annual Conference InformationAMHP Conference Exhibitor Info PageThe Austin BBQ ClubThe FTC's 123 Pg "Complaint for Permanent Injunction and Relief"

Dr Irons is one of our more frequent guests because she's a whiz in the research department. It's no secret that the ACA has its own agenda for the counseling profession, which doesn't jibe with a very large segment of mental health professionals so when the ACA posted its proposed draft of their updated 2026 Code of Ethics, she was all over it to see what's changed. In this hour, Dawn is highlighting five of the biggest things that jumped out at her, most of which might cost you your license depending on the state you're licensed in.

Special Guest: Dr. Melanie Crites-BachertThere are three stages of trauma the transitioned are dealing with and we're just now entering into the uncharted territory of the third stage. Stage 1 is sold with flowery, inclusive language that oppresses dissenting thought. Stage 2 deals with the horrible mental and physical impact from transitioning, maiming foreign chemicals and unnecessary, irreversible surgeries that accompany a total lack of informed consent. The 3rd stage is the realization that you can never go back to factory settings.

We don't question their existence or their place in our lives. The study of really small elements of creation is called Quantum Physics and that's an entirely different ballgame with different ramifications in all academic and professional disciplines including healthcare, specifically metal health.They didn't teach you this stuff in grad school for reasons Kathleen will touch on but this conversation with Dr Jeff Wulfman MD is stepping firmly into the advanced stuff. No one does this but I'm going to suggest that you NOT listen to this podcast until you've accepted and mastered the basics of The Six Pillars, explained in episode 126 (link below). Call it a prerequisite class for this course. I'll give you a hint as to what this episode is about by saying that at the quantum level of physics everything is connected. It's all energy and it's all connected, which is the very foundational concept of comprehensive, or wholistic, counseling. Time to question everything you've been taught.

We utilize frequency technology in our current, everyday medical offerings (sonograms, x-rays, etc). Quantum-level biological frequency research is cutting-edge stuff right now and there's no reason to believe that because we understand only a fraction of what we will eventually grasp that it can't be utilized right now to achieve positive, mental and physical health outcomes.

Special Guests: Kathleen Mills & Phillip CrumA comprehensive (wholistic) approach to mental health includes a careful analysis of the six categorical components that affect every single human on the globe. If the overall mental health of a patient is directly tied to these 6 components, then it stands to reason that a proper assessment must include a thorough review of those six components in order to render an informed opinion. This approach is aimed at addressing causation and eliminating it, not symptom management. In this discussion we'll take a good look at what The 6 Pillars are and how to employ them.

Special Guest: Nicolas SmithAutogynephilia, a topic that's been just below the radar for quite a long time is making its way to the surface and causing some issues for the trans movement. In this episode we talk to Nicolas Smith and discuss what this affliction is, where it comes from, your options if you suffer from it and why the trans community wishes it would go away. (Spoiler: it goes a long way towards undermining their legitimacy narrative.)

Special Guest: Rebecca Smith LPC=S and Rhonda Velders LPC-SThe TX Legislature just closed session 89 and fell far short of the promised changes we voted for in November. Notable bright spots in this legislative round that pertain to the world of counseling included Senate Bill 12 (SB12) and House Bill 3783 (HB3783). Our two intrepid activist reports Smith & Velders have an informative discussion with Kathleen Mills LPC-S about those two bills and their impact on the professional ethics every licensee needs to understand. Our time together also includes an update on the loophole in Session 88's SB14 and what's being done to close that up.Show NotesRebecca's X.com Handle: @Rebecca_LPCGrassRootsTherapists.com & HB2258 (Didn't Pass)Senate Bill 12 InfoHouse Bill 3783 InfoSenate Bill 14 Info (88th Session)AMHP's Annual Conference InformationThe Austin BBQ ClubImpulse Payments Credit Card Programs

Special Guest: Dr. Jeff WulfmanThis discussion with dr. Jeff Wulfman is going to expand your definition of what constitutes a parasite, how to determine whether something is truly parasitic or a mutually beneficial relationship, and how to utilize this information in your mental health practice. This expanded discussion of parasites outlines the five areas, or dimensions, in which parasites can exist, their inter-dimensional effects, and how they're measured. This entire category of thought is called "Parasitism" and if you subscribe to the total Body-Mind-Spirt approach to holistic mental health you should immediately see its application. If you're a newcomer to holistic health then have a listen and you be the judge.Show NotesDr. Jeff Wulfman's WebsiteThe KLOUD Healing MatAMHP's Annual Conference InformationThe Austin BBQ ClubImpulse Payments Credit Card Programs

Special Guest: Kathleen Mills LPC-S CEAP CIMHPWe review the recent LPC Board meeting but the deep dive is on the real world roadblocks that our newly graduated, soon-to-be associates are facing. Most of it's not their fault (some of it is), but neither are their Supervisors to blame. We need to stop trying to affix blame for world-level problems on one group of people and figure out a better way.
