Incredibly offensive!
Gabe, I started listening to this podcast bc I enjoy your other shows. I started with episode four and within minutes could not believe my ears. This rant about social workers questioning a diagnosis or believing people with schizophrenia can be high functioning is absolutely not the position of social workers in general. I highly doubt if you actually looked to see if the people making such offensive comments were licensed social workers with their state board. Social workers are the leading providers of mental health in this country. Some of our core values are empowerment and the right to self determination. The platform that you have given these statements that in no way represent an entire profession but rather a small group of ignorant people who may or may not even be social workers has taken me aback. I can not continue with this podcast and now question if I can listen going forward to your other shows. Social workers devote their careers and in many cases their personal lives to advocating for some of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged fellow human beings. This show is such a 180 from the positivity and insight of your other projects. I’m just disgusted and honestly hurt. Social workers absolutely believe in the endless capabilities of people who are challenged with mental illness as we do all people and the unique challenges we all have at points in our lives.

I'm schizoaffective so finding a show which tackles both aspects of my disease is refreshing. Your last podcast about loneliness is apropos. We all have to...Read full review »
