She discusses her experience as a practicing psychologist, why she believes therapy should help people improve rather than become a permanent dependency, and why basic habits such as exercise, nutrition, and sleep can sometimes be overlooked in conversations about emotional health.The conversation also examines ideological conformity within the mental health profession, social-emotional learning in schools, the relationship between free expression and psychological well-being, and concerns about treating destructive behavior primarily through the lens of mental illness.Libby and Dr. Carmichael then turn to the controversial Lindsay Clancy case and discuss mental illness, criminal responsibility, postpartum psychosis, accountability, and the broader cultural consequences of separating actions from personal agency.Dr. Chloe Carmichael is the author of Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly.Subscribe to Libby's newsletter at https://libbysdesk.com and find more episodes at https://thepodmillennial.com.
