In this episode of Becoming Anchored, licensed therapist and host Laura Deneen is joined by Dr. Elise Scott.
Elise is a licensed psychiatrist who takes a holistic, neuroscience-informed, and integrated approach to mental health treatment. Together we dive into a relational and compassionate approach to psychiatry.
Key Takeaways From This Episode:
1. You Are Not Alone: Many individuals hesitate to seek mental health treatment due to stigma, fears of substance dependence, or misunderstandings about medication. We discuss how taking psychiatric medication does not indicate weakness or failure. You are not alone and there are paths forward to healing, joy, peace, and wellness.
2. The Psychiatric and Therapeutic Journey: We discuss the value of therapy and psychiatry working in tandem, empowering clients with tools and education to not only survive but thrive. Elise encourages a strengths-based, patient-centered approach to the healing journey.
3. Acknowledging Women’s Mental Health: Elise addresses the safety of psychiatric medications during pregnancy and postpartum periods. She advocates for specialized reproductive psychiatry and shares how it can help women navigate these decisions safely and confidently.
This episode is full of insights that aim to demystify psychiatry, highlight its role as a supportive tool, and foster hope and understanding for those navigating mental health challenges.
