117. The Power of the Placebo Response in Mental Health
Millions experience unwanted side effects from mental health medications. But what if a placebo could offer similar benefits, without the risks? Join us as we explore the role of the placebo effect and what it means when referenced in clinical studies compared to SSRI’s. With genuine informed consent many clients might choose a different path. We'll unveil practical strategies to harness the placebo response for improved mental well-being, beyond the realm of traditional therapy. Implementing these techniques in therapy and outpatient settings could lead to profound positive changes and even save lives.
