What is the psychophobia* podcast?

Hosted by Dr. Michael Montgomery, existential analyst, each episode is a serious conversation with practitioners, researchers, and survivors willing to ask uncomfortable questions:

• When does treatment become a way of avoiding someone’s suffering?
• How much of what stands for care is iatrogenic?
• What would it mean for professionals to work toward making themselves unnecessary?

These aren’t instructional episodes. They don’t offer techniques or reassurance. They stay with what’s difficult because that’s where institutional fear loses its grip.

Who is it for?

• Clinicians who feel trapped by systems that fear the very experiences you’re meant to meet.
• Patients and survivors questioning whether there’s another way. Beyond diagnosis, beyond dependency.
• Anyone questioning why treatment keeps you needing experts to explain yourself to you.
