The Reluctant Therapist: air date 10-15-2013

Highly under rated and wildly successful - one of the most effective mental health treatments we have is the placebo effect. The simple belief that something is going to make us better, actually can! So why are we still prescribing marginally effective, and often dangerous, medications - when a little spoonful of sugar may offer more relief?

Elizabeth Barrett is a wife, mother, licensed marriage-family therapist, educator, eavesdropper, emotion worker, and mental health consultant. She uses all of these skills to address the subjects that we all struggle with in this conversation with the Reluctant Therapist.
