  • How Psychology Became Ideology
    Jun 4 2025

    In this episode, I trace how psychology lost its scientific footing and became a tool for ideological conformity. What are the consequences of elevating subjective narratives over objective standards and how did we go from a field that once aspired to be a science to one that now trains activists before clinicians?

  • Unspoken Realities Of Psychiatric Medications: Risks, Withdrawal and Recovery
    May 21 2025

    Dr. Joseff Witt-Doerring is a psychiatrist and former pharmaceutical industry insider who now specializes in treating adverse reactions to psychiatric medications and helping patients safely taper off them through his practice, TaperClinic. In addition to his clinical work, he runs a large YouTube channel where he provides in-depth guidance and support for people dealing with psychiatric drug injuries, offering videos and insights that are virtually absent from the rest of the field.

    In this episode, we dive into the three most commonly prescribed psychiatric medications: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and ADHD medications.

    Quick Vocabulary:SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor): A type of antidepressant commonly used to treat depression and anxiety.– Benzodiazepines (Benzos): Anti-anxiety medications that can quickly calm the nervous system but are highly habit-forming.– Ritalin (and similar stimulants): A medication used to treat ADHD by increasing focus and reducing impulsivity.

    We begin with SSRIs—what they are, what doctors don’t often explain, and the risks that come with long-term use. Then we tackle withdrawal symptoms and how to taper safely. We follow the same roadmap for benzos and ADHD medications, looking at what these drugs do, what can go wrong, and how to come off them without unnecessary suffering.

  • How We Got Safe Spaces and Trigger Warnings
    May 7 2025

    This episode takes a closer look at how the trauma diagnosis has changed — and what that change reveals about psychiatry, culture, and identity. We examine how PTSD became one of the most widely claimed conditions in modern mental health. It’s a deep dive into where the field started, where it is now and the direct consequences that has on patients.

    Feminism was never about equality—it began with resentment and moral superiority, not rights. From Elizabeth Cady Stanton to modern activists, the movement pathologized masculinity and tore down femininity, not to uplift women, but to unseat men. While feminists parade around with slogans, they stay silent on real female suffering. Meanwhile, women drowning in career ambition come to therapy not with disorders, but with lives built on lies. The truth is, many don’t need healing—they need to hear what no one dared to tell them.

    This episode is an interview I did with the dutch outlet Nieuw Rechts (New Right), and since I found it was such a good conversation—with questions we so often encounter regarding feminism—I thought it was worth sharing as an episode of Psychobabble.

    To all my Catholic listeners, our heartfelt condolences for your loss with the passing of the Pope; may resolution be close at hand.

  • The BBF Delusion
    Apr 9 2025
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hannahspier.substack.com

    Everywhere you look, people are talking about how female friendships are falling apart—and how deeply lonely many women have become. At the same time, romantic relationships are more fragile, marriage is often delayed or rejected, and men and women feel further apart than ever. So what’s going on?

    In this episode 35, we take an evolutionary look at how women are wired to bond and the consequences of modern female bonding on the family unit.

  • Psychologist Exposes Ideological Bias
    Mar 12 2025

    In this episode of Psychobabble, we break down the interview that led to a flood of complaint letters demanding psychologist Holger Richter be fired. We talk about the surge in mental health diagnoses over the past 20 years, particularly among young, left-leaning women, and critiques the narcissism embedded within certain self-identifications.

    We discuss the feminization of therapy, the political dynamics shaping modern mental health. Holger also shares his firsthand experience of being targeted by activists.

    This was a conversation I enjoyed so much that we also covered topics purely of interest—like the German problem and why so many women, particularly in the psychological community, work to silence dissent rather than engage with it.

    Thank you for listening to Psychobabble and I hope you enjoy and share it!

    Hannah
