About this listen

Hystericology is a peek behind the curtain into the minds of mental health therapists. Two clinicians talk candidly about everything that falls into the Venn diagram of being a therapist who is also a human.

With guesting clinicians, Elizabeth Beckmann LMFT and Andrea Hanson LCMHC explore topics like the troubled teen industry, toxic workplace culture, the self of the therapist, and much more.

Clinicians who feel restricted and want more out of their careers can be part of the conversation and find support in a FB group (that isn't trying to sell anything) by clicking here.

    "They Became Who They Would Have Become Anyway, We Just Added Trauma." Troubled Teen Industry Staff
    Sep 28 2023
    Former staff member for two adolescent teen treatment center talks about his experiences witnessing abuse in the teen treatment industry with therapists Andrea Hanson and Elizabeth Beckmann. Andrea and Elizabeth are passionate about mental health and serving their clients. This has driven them to be outspoken about what is going wrong in the mental health field both for therapists and clients that is at the very least holding the field back, and at worst, actively creating a revolving door of trauma. *****Disclaimer message from Andrea: I experienced a dissociative trauma response and was not able to be fully mentally present throughout the recording. I am grateful that Elizabeth was able to move the conversation forward and that I at least made sense when I was able to speak according to Elizabeth. After going back and forth between not publishing or re-recording the audio, we decided to move forward with publishing the content as vulnerable honesty is important in these situations. Although I was able to get to a much better place shortly after we finished recording, I have not been able to bring myself to listen back to the recording yet. I hope I don't say anything too out of left field. If I do, I apologize and ask for your grace and understanding. If you find yourself in a similar space listening to this or any of our recordings, please pause and seek support. You are under no obligation to revisit the past if it does not benefit you. *****

  • You can’t box humans: Mental health treatment and informed consent.

    You can’t box humans: Mental health treatment and informed consent.
    Jul 2 2023

    The average process goes: feel off, see a mental health professional, get diagnosed, and then prescribed treatment whether that is a medication, therapeutic intervention, or both and so on and so on. The beginning of that process typically involves something called informed consent. Informed consent is meant to give clients all of the information they need about the process so that they can choose whether or not they want to engage in the process despite the potential negative impact. Standard practice for informed consent in mental health practices is severely lacking, which is directly contributing to individual and societal harm. In this episode, Guest speaker Dr. Damian Wilde who has been interviewed on this topic for news articles in the UK discusses with Elizabeth Beckmann DMFT and Andrea Hanson LCMHC the holes in the informed consent process, why they are there, the damage they cause, what needs to change, and urge clinicians to engage in and advocate for an ethical informed consent process.Learn more about Dr. Damian WildeWebsite: http://wildepsychology.co.uk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdamianwilde/ Twitter: @DrDJWilde Learn more about Andrea Hanson LCMHCWebsite: https://www.andreahanson.net/LinkedIn, FB, Insta, TikTok @andreahansonpsychLearn more about Elizabeth Beckmann DMFTWebsite: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/elizabeth-a-beckmann-sandy-ut/444379TikTok: @dr.e.dmft
