After more than two decades in clinical practice, I have a lot to say about how we understand human suffering—and what we may be missing.
My new book, The Awakening They Cannot Medicate, is out today.
It explores mental health, human potential, and what it means to reclaim your power to heal.
If you read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

CHOP’s “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize” program offers shots while children are under anesthesia. The hospital says families must agree. It also acknowledges that time for detailed discussions can be limited.
Parents deserve clear information, time to ask questions, and the freedom to decline.
Read the documents. Make sure your choices are understood and documented.
Share this with a parent who needs to know.
I recently read a Medscape article recommending ways physicians can respond to patients influenced by "misinformation," including storytelling and a technique called "pre-bunking."
As a psychologist, here's my concern: are these tools helping patients make an informed decision, or steering them toward a decision that's already been made for them?
Listening requires being willing to reconsider your own assumptions. That responsibility belongs to the physician, too.
You have every right to question your doctor.
Ask about the evidence. Ask about the risks. Ask about alternatives.
Those questions deserve a thoughtful answer.
Your medical autonomy matters. Trust has to be earned.
I break this down in one of my latest articles on Substack.

1/ In the past ten days, governments across the world have started telling citizens the same thing: prepare to stand on your own.
Here is what is happening, and why I believe it matters far more than most people realize. 🧵
6/ I believe we are in a spiritual battle, and that what is coming will be a series of events, not one catastrophe.
The first and most important instruction I have received: do not go into fear or panic. Fear is exactly what they want.
7/ I wrote out the full guidance I have received for this transition and made it free for everyone to read.

In this conversation with Leslie Elliott Boyce, @JLeslieElliott, @DrMcFillin and @TracyAThurman discuss the human connection at the heart of helping someone: listening, believing in them, and making them feel that they matter.

So they are jabbing kids while they are unconscious now. Here is what should concern you- A 2007 review in Pediatric Anaesthesia suggested spacing vaccines and anesthesia apart by days, specifically so a vaccine reaction isn’t mistaken for a surgical complication. So if your child spikes a fever after the procedure, what caused it? The anesthetic? The antibiotic? The surgery? The shot? Nobody will be able to tell you.
A daily reminder about the illusion of evidence based medicine. The trials are easily rigged by the psychopaths and this has been disclosed for decades. But the machine continues, pushing out propaganda- training the next generation of doctors/nurses.

NEW STUDY: Prenatal paracetamol (TYLENOL) was associated with smaller testicular volume & lower circulating levels of steroid intermediates in infant boys.
"Prenatal paracetamol (TYLENOL) exposure may influence early reproductive development."

Leslie is one of my favorite people on the planet. Her story is compelling and revealing. My profession is filled with political activism that harms patients.
Leslie Elliott Boyce, @JLeslieElliott, wanted to help people. But as she worked toward becoming a counselor, she found herself questioning what she was being taught-and whether she could finish the program without going against her conscience.
She joins @DrMcFillin and @TracyAThurman to talk about what happened, why she spoke up, and what she wishes more people knew about counselor training.

What her professors said behind the closed doors should alarm anyone who has ever trusted a therapist.

At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, there’s a program called “Close Your Eyes, We’ll Immunize.” Since 2023, children who are already going under sedation or anesthesia for another procedure are offered flu shots while they’re unconscious. Last season, over two thousand doses. And they’re exploring adding RSV and COVID shots, plus catch-up vaccines for kids who are “behind.”
I want to be clear here: parents consent. But think about when that consent is being requested. In pre-op. Signing a form you may never read. Your child is scared, about to be put under. You’re anxious, you trust the people in scrubs, and someone asks if you’d like to “take care of” the flu shot while they’re at it. That is the most vulnerable moment a parent has. That isn’t a calm, informed decision. That’s an opportunity.
