Mental illness isn’t merely reducible to receptors and drugs, and here’s why. Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Leslie Carr joins me for an in-depth discussion especially relevant to healthcare professionals.

We talk about the power of psychotherapy in addressing root causes of suffering, the importance of “curious compassion” in helping people to heal, the challenges of the reductionist model in regards to psychiatric illness, the effects of loneliness and isolation on newer cultural phenomenon such as mass shootings, and much more.

Watch the full video (and get more links to Dr. Carr’s work) here.
