The Unhinged Shrink

I'm here to talk about the stuff that gets sanitized in typical psychology content—the messy intersection of mental health, culture, ethics, and what it means to be human right now. Whether you're a clinician, someone considering therapy, or just curious about how psychology actually works (and where it falls short), this is for you.

You'll find explorations of pop psychology's blind spots, ethics in the field, the cultural context we're all living in, and the behaviors and experiences that define modern life. Sometimes dark. Often irreverent. Always grounded in what I actually know and what I'm genuinely uncertain about.

You'll find three-minute doses of thinking differently about psychology and being human under my Shorts. For longer-form posts and essays, visit my blog at TheUnhingedShrink.com. Think you'd like to work with me? Reach out anytime or come find me at HollyAltsonPsyD.com.
