Description
In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Janine Orlando, a counseling expert with 35 years of experience, about the changing landscape of therapy. We discuss the shift from mental health stigma to over-identification, the emotional barriers to seeking therapy, and the importance of tailoring approaches to individual needs. Dr. Orlando shares insights on the effectiveness of different therapy modalities and the potential impact of AI in mental health care.
We also explore the emotional barriers that prevent people from seeking therapy, such as fear of judgment and the difficulty of confronting personal issues. Dr. Orlando shares her insights on the role of AI in therapy, noting both its potential benefits and dangers, especially regarding self-diagnosis. She also introduces the Canadian Therapist Network, a platform for collaboration among mental health professionals across Canada.
