Grief parenting can be a huge challenge to any parent. Guiding a grieving child through life is one of the toughest situations any parent may face. There’s no instruction manual for it. Most parents who go through grief with their children are caught unprepared. That’s why Michele Benyo, the founder of Good Grief Parenting, has made it her personal mission to help moms and dads to support their grieving children. Michele had two kids, but her 6-year-old son died of cancer. This devastated her 3-year-old daughter who told her mother, “Half of me is gone.” As a parent who experienced the loss of a child herself, she shows how to help kids deal with grief in a positive way. In the process, grieving children can grow up mentally and emotionally resilient. Join us in today’s episode as Michele talks us through helping your child navigate the death of a sibling.

The current drug-based paradigm of care tends to leave significant trauma history out. Leaving these things unaddressed keeps people from finding the healing and recovery they need. Mad In America, written by Robert Whitaker, discusses the effectiveness and safety of past and current psychiatric interventions for severe mental illnesses, specifically antipsychotics. It is more than a book since it catalyzes psychiatric care. It expanded to an online platform and non-profit organization later on, where it encourages people to share and publish their stories of real-life experiences about mental health. In this episode, we have Kermit Cole, a founding board member who has been its editor from 2012 to 2014, to tell us more about what they have discovered about drug companies and why other non-drug alternatives can be much more effective. He dives deep into the importance of social relationships and human-to-human connection, incorporating open dialogues and communities to help people.

Australia is experiencing a mental health epidemic not much different from what the US has. If you are experiencing problems of any sort, go see your doctor, get them to prescribe a pill, and you’ll be alright. That’s what the system would like you to think. Most of the people in the health industry are aware that it’s not as simple as that but their voices carry no weight in the face of institutionalized overmedication supported by big pharma dollars. Not many people talk about this critical and sensitive issue but Martin Whitely has been at it for years. In early 2021, he published a book called Overprescribing Madness, which describes the factors that drive Australia’s growing dependence on antidepressant prescribing to solve mental health issues. Joining Dr. Timothy J. Hayes in this conversation, Martin explains how Australia’s otherwise excellent healthcare system enables this overdependence on medications and why this “solution” is like spraying napalm to put out a fire. He also talks about the undercurrent of integrative medicine that challenges the status quo despite being a tiny voice in comparison.

It has often been said that we are very good at sending people to war, but not as good at supporting them when they come back. This rings terribly true when you look at the vast percentage of military veterans who are struggling to make a smooth transition to civilian life.

Seeing the need to address this, Jim Dolan of Illinois Joining Forces and Justin Miller of the USO Pathfinder Program are looking for support for these veterans in a more comprehensive way. For them, the missing link in veteran transition is community support.

We hear a lot about “mind over body” but so much about “body over mind,” but that is exactly the sense that you would get from the approach Dr. Phyllis J. Heffner is taking in her pursuit for a holistic model of child psychiatry. Taking the principles of integrative and functional medicine into her psychiatric practice, Dr. Phyllis explores the causative link between psychiatric symptoms and their physiological underpinnings. In her practice, she uses a variety of alternative treatment modalities depending on what works for a specific patient.

You can’t talk of modern psychiatry without talking about psychiatric medication, which has become the cornerstone of the practice over the decades. The problem with psychiatric drugs, however, is that they do more harm than good to the brain and withdrawal can be a real challenge if you’ve already started taking them. Many psychiatrists wouldn’t let you know that, though, as you will learn from Dr. Timothy J. Hayes’ guest for this episode. Known as “The Conscience of Psychiatry,” Dr. Peter Breggin has been fighting psychiatry’s reliance on neurotoxic drugs, as well as other ethically questionable practices like lobotomy and electroshock therapy, advocating for therapies that focus more on care, love and empathy. He has authored dozens of scientific articles and more than twenty books, including medical books and a number of bestsellers. He shares the meat of some of these works in this conversation, together with his overall opinion of the psychiatric profession as it stands today.
