Your interview on mind-body is wonderfully confirms scientifically what we practitioners sense intuitively. Tremendously helpful and inspiring

Thank you ever so much for one of the best interviews I have ever heard. Just the right balance of science and practice. Masterful.
Hi! I loved your conversation with Charlie. I had the good luck to hear him speak at PsychCongress in Austin a couple of years ago and it was real eye-opener. Fantastic to hear he has a book, and a research book at that. It is on my list and Charlie is always worth listening to. I look forward to the next time I have the opportunity to encounter his work.
The podcast cut off suddenly at the end? What happened?
Thanks as always!
PS – I don’t know if he covers it in his book – but his presentation on the follow up Yale study on SSRIs is essential mental-health care knowledge. The apparent research that SSRIs are only marginally better than placebo has flaws that the follow-up study uncovered. Perhaps many know this – but the follow-up showed clearly that there are responders and non-responders. A doctor should know within two weeks which one a patient is. Double the dose doesn’t help – giving it time doesn’t help. For responders – the SSRI is far better than placebo and shows quick response. For non-responders, the response is neutral at best and chaotic and painful at worst. Average these out and you get placebo level responses. If you like I can dig up the reference – its pretty essential stuff, imho – and Charlie exposed me to it.
