211. The One Thing You Should Never Tell A Mental Health Professional
What Would It Take to Lose Every Civil Right You Have? Not a trial. Not a conviction. Not evidence of a crime.
In America, all it takes is one person's opinion—dressed up in medical language and backed by institutional authority.
Rachel Hunter walked into a hospital for a routine check. She walked out 38 days later, having been transferred between multiple psychiatric facilities, forcibly injected with antipsychotics, and stripped of her autonomy—all without her consent. Her crime? She'd been baptized. She felt at peace. She prayed for her neighbors. In this episode, Rachel shares what happened when a spiritual awakening was reinterpreted as a psychiatric emergency—and what she discovered when she started investigating the system that imprisoned her. This is a story about how easily your freedom can disappear. And about one woman who refused to stay silent. If you think this couldn't happen to you or someone you love, this episode will change your mind. Listen. Then share it with someone who needs to hear it.
