Dr. Roger McFillin | The Chemical Imbalance Myth, Predatory Psychiatry, & Mood Management Industry

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Risks of Repressed Memory

Dr. McFillan advocates for goal-focused treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation, which emphasize exercise and facing responsibilities over long-term talk therapy. He warns against the "recovery memory" movement and hypnotic regression, which can implant false memories of abuse. The segment also critiques the tendency of modern therapists to validate every client's self-diagnosis, such as being on the autism spectrum, without scientific rigor.
