The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour

The future of mental health in America and the world may depend on a growing number of brave psychotherapists like our guest today, Dr. Teralyn, who defy conventional psychiatry by voicing their own opinions on the shortcomings and dangers of psychiatric drugs.  These criticisms are grounded in hundreds and thousands of hours of meetings with psychotherapy clients, meeting face to face an hour at a time and hearing the stories of their patients which places them in a better position than prescribers, who spend much less time with the people they are medicating and who have much less insight into how much medications interfere with human relationships and with love.

Dr. Teralyn Sell, PhD, is a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in understanding mental health when standard explanations and treatments fall short. Her work integrates psychology with principles from nutritional psychiatry and functional medicine, examining how brain health, sleep, stress, and medication effects shape emotional and cognitive health.

Dr. Teralyn is particularly interested in long-term outcomes, informed consent, and helping people make sense of mental health decisions. She is the author of Your Best Brain and co-host of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, where clinical insight meets candid conversation about where mental health care breaks down and how clearer thinking leads to better choices. She also writes a regular blog, Dr. Teralyn. Her style is thoughtful and engaging, grounded in science, and focused on making complex ideas understandable without oversimplifying them.

This fascinating and fun interview with Dr. Teralyn, PhD, and the Breggins on The Breggin Hour is truly worth your time.  We hope you will join us.

This interview of Alex Newman, the founder and CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media, by Ginger and Peter Breggin focuses on the newly released “million of Epstein pages” by the Trump Administration. Newman has been studying Epstein for many years, especially in light of his multiple globalist connections, including his support from America’s Deep State bureaucracy.

Alex Newman analyses newly released pages from the Epstein files concerning Epstein’s work to further globalist ambitions for transhumanistic projects at Harvard and other universities, including using recently developed CRISPR technology to produce genetically modified human beings.

We discuss the relationship between the evil psychology underpinning globalism, imperialism, and transhumanism, and how it poses a threat to all of Western civilization, including its goal to annihilate Christianity. The three of us discuss not only these mind-bending issues but also our own psychological and emotional blocks to even thinking about or writing about them, especially the existence of such horrendously evil intentions motivating many of the most powerful and influential people on Earth.

Our guest this week, investigative journalist Leo Hohmann, asks the question Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden’s Orwellian kill switches on all our automobiles as of 2026?  Hohmann further comments that Trump’s advancement of a digital surveillance state is coming at us from all angles.
A couple of weeks ago, 57 Republican members of Congress joined Democrats in voting down an amendment that would have cancelled the mandatory kill switch portion of the Biden bill.  The original pro-kill switch bill was drawing backlash from conservatives like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
From alternative energy programs to AI, elites have been at the forefront of promoting boondoggle programs that enrich the few powerful members at the expense of normal, freedom-loving persons everywhere.  If it makes money and increases control of populations and cultures, it is embraced by those who would be masters of us all.
For a continued analysis of the political implications of Trump’s support of the surveillance state, read Leo Hohmann’s Substack article “Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden’s Orwellian mandatory kill switches on all new automobiles?
Leo Hohmann has been a tireless and dedicated defender of freedom in America. Support him and his work.

Holly Swenson joins The Breggin Hour, and we discuss how to take a breath and reset your life for greater focus, peace, and love!

Holly has been a nurse and then a wife and mother of four boys, all now in their teens. She wants to help parents lead more successful, loving, and engaged lives that enhance their children’s growth toward becoming loving and successful.

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a clinical social worker who may be little known to many of us, but with this interview, she earns a place of leadership in the health freedom movement for her work. She opposes the highly abusive transgender ideology, which takes advantage of confused young people, alienating them from traditional values and their families, and subjecting them to life-changing drugs and mutilating surgeries.

She has the ultimate medal of honor in our group for having lost her job over refusing to take or to promote the COVID vaccines in 2021.

She is an extraordinarily positive warrior who thrives on doing what is right and serves as a role model for all of us. We have a fascinating conversation about how we both have moved toward emphasizing the family in our clinical practices of psychotherapy, as well as promoting spiritual values that strengthen individuals and families in dealing with this too often cruel world.

You will find Pamela highly informative and very encouraging in her attitude toward professional work and in her solid attitudes on how to improve the mental health field. She is a very good writer and author of three books:

• A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families- 2024
• Parents’ Guide to Mental Health
• Froggy Girl. In her children’s book, Froggy Girl, a young girl struggles with frustration because she thinks she’s a frog, and everyone around her supports this self-destructive fallacy until she meets a wise old turtle who helps her appreciate herself as a wonderful little girl.

Amazon describes A Practical Response to Gender Distress as follows:

Transgender issues have become ubiquitous in schools, entertainment, medicine, etc., and many do not know how to approach this sensitive issue. Because of the dominance of a one-sided approach, parents are ill-equipped to discuss this topic with their children or to advocate effectively for their well-being.

In this book, you will learn:

• The dark side of puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery clinics don’t want you to hear.
• How the internet has tremendous influence on young people.
• Why a child could choose to be transgender.
• How therapists are trained to emotionally blackmail parents.

Practical tips:

• How to talk to a teen who suddenly believes they are transgender.
• How to help your child say no to the pronoun game.
• How to find a therapist who will work with your child as a whole person.

This book is written with knowledge and compassion by a California-state licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience.

America at the brink: J.J. Carrell’s unsettling warning

Global fights for freedom erupt. Journalist Elizabeth Nickson reviews the underreported current events. Elizabeth Nickson joined Dr. Peter and Ginger Breggin in a whirlwind review and background of some of the most important current world events ignored by legacy media.

Topics covered in the interview include:

• Environmental activism and regulatory manipulation.
• Systemic global fraud and economic warfare.
• European protests and the impact of flooding EU countries with migrants.
• EU citizen patrols are forming to protect children and women from rape and assault, and to defend the country’s borders.
• The damaging impacts of feminism and environmentalism upon Western civilization are illuminated by how those ideologies have led to negative consequences, including forest fires and desertification.

Anything that we depend on, anything that can deeply affect our lives, is a potential tool to manipulate us. Water, food, and healthcare top the list of physical fundamentals needed to survive. Today, we invite an expert to review the state of healthcare in the US and to itemize what can be done to put patients first. When patients are most in control of their healthcare, the possibility of using medical treatment as a cudgel diminishes.
