Making Therapy Sane Again

Episode 424

Soad Tabrizi joins Something For Everybody this week. Soad is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience.

In this conversation, we explore the complexities of mental health and illness, the importance of resilience in youth, and the impact of societal changes on therapy. We discuss the need for a clear distinction between mental health and mental illness, the role of parenting in fostering resilience, and the challenges posed by gender affirming care. Soad emphasizes the importance of reality in therapy and the need for community support, while I reflect on the significance of agency and choice in navigating life's challenges.

Topics Covered:

  • Grief and Gratitude
  • Chaos in Mental Health
  • Understanding Gender Confusion
