Your Therapist Needs Therapy 23 - Social Construction and Revolutionary Therapy with Sheila McNamee

Your Therapist Needs Therapy

All guests are special on this podcast, but a very special guest this week with the incredibly insightful Dr. Sheila McNamee. Sheila is the VP and co-founder of the Taos Institute and a true game changer in the field of therapy and postmodern approaches. Sheila and Jeremy talk about her decades spent challenging the assumptions made in the field of mental health, the revolutions still needed to move the field forward, and all the thought-provoking work coming out of the Taos Institute. For Jeremy, the social construction ideology changed the course of his career, so a real dream come true to chat with such a formative figure in the field!

Sheila’s work with the Taos Institute can be found here, a list of her books can be found here, and some of her published articles and other free resources are available here. More information about the Taos Institute Commons can be found here. You can also follow the Taos Institute on Instagram and YouTube. (Jeremy strongly recommends checking out the community and some of the trainings available over there, so so good!)

More info on Jeremy and his practice can be found at Wellness with Jer.

Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.
