What happens when mental health care becomes unethical? 🚨

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Sara, CEO of Makin Wellness and a nationally recognized leader in mental health care. Together, we explore unethical therapists, cult dynamics in clinical spaces, boundaries in therapy, postpartum struggles, Burnout, and what true Healing really looks like.

We break down:

✔ The Jodie Hildebrandt documentary and unethical clinician behavior

✔ How to identify dangerous or manipulative practitioners

✔ The reality of the mental health system and insurance barriers

✔ Burnout, anxiety, and postpartum mental health

✔ Healing beyond symptom relief and self-actualization

✔ Why clients must do the work outside therapy

This episode is educational, honest, and essential for anyone seeking therapy or working in mental health.
