Will My Therapist Get Me Involuntarily Committed?

After a flood of comments on one of our social posts about lying in therapy, Jess and Ryan dive into a topic that clearly hit a nerve: the fear of being involuntarily committed. In this episode, we unpack why so many people hold back or lie in therapy out of fear of being hospitalized against their will. We read some of the heartbreaking comments we received and talk about how to bring up difficult topics with your therapist - especially when you’re unsure how they’ll react. We explore where these fears come from, what the actual criteria for involuntary commitment are, and how to build safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship.Tune in for this extremely important conversation 🎙️Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her)Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her)Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her)Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtherapistisnotokay
