    Shrinking Heads - Season 2 - Episode 2 - Into the Wild: Stigma, SSRIs, and Big Pharma
    Jan 25 2026
    In this episode, we machete our way through one of the densest thickets of all: psychiatric medication. Why does taking meds still feel like stepping into quicksand socially? Who decided that needing a prescription is a character flaw? And lurking in the undergrowth—how much influence does Big Pharma really have over what ends up on the prescription pad?We explore the stigma that keeps people hiding, the pressure to choose between “natural” remedies and pharmaceuticals, and the tangled ecosystem of marketing, medicine, and mental health care. No fear-mongering, no corporate cheerleading—just a clear-eyed expedition through a system that’s anything but simple.Whether you’re a clinician, a patient, or just trying to survive the mental health wilderness with your sanity intact, this episode of Shrinking Heads offers a compass, a sense of humor, and permission to ask better questions. Watch your step—self-awareness grows fast out here.

    Shrinking Heads - Season 2 - Episode 1 - Resolutions: Nature’s Shortest-Lived Species
    Jan 12 2026
    Season 2 kicks off with machetes sharpened and resolutions already wobbling. In Episode One of Shrinking Heads, we trek back into the jungle of mental health to ask a timeless January question: do New Year’s resolutions actually help, or are they just motivational vines we trip over by February? Join us as we wander through the mental health jungle to examine whether resolutions are tools for meaningful change or just shiny goals that lose their leaves by February. No shame, no guilt—just honest reflection and a few psychological survival tips.#shrinkingheads #prismaticcounseling #newyearnewyou #resolutions

    Shrinking Heads - Episode 20 - Season Finale: Exiting the Jungle… For Now
    Dec 14 2025
    This week on Shrinking Heads, we emerge from the dense jungle of mental health we’ve been trekking through all season—mud-splattered, wiser, and still shaking leaves out of our hair. As we set up camp at the edge of the wild, we’re reflecting on the creatures we’ve encountered along the way: the sneaky stress snakes, the rumbling anxiety beasts, and those rare moments of clarity that shimmered like sunlight through the canopy.But don’t pack up your gear just yet. Before we close the season, we’re dropping a few clues about next year’s expedition—new terrains, unexpected guides, deeper dives, and maybe even a trek into parts of the mind we’ve only glimpsed from afar. Think of it as your teaser map to the next great adventure in emotional exploration.Grab a coconut canteen and join us for one last trek before Season Two begins. The jungle may be quiet for now… but trust us, it’s far from done.
