211. The One Thing You Should Never Tell A Mental Health Professional

Author: Roger K. McFillin, Psy.D., ABPP December 11, 2025 Duration: 1:20:47

What Would It Take to Lose Every Civil Right You Have? Not a trial. Not a conviction. Not evidence of a crime.

In America, all it takes is one person's opinion—dressed up in medical language and backed by institutional authority.

Rachel Hunter walked into a hospital for a routine check. She walked out 38 days later, having been transferred between multiple psychiatric facilities, forcibly injected with antipsychotics, and stripped of her autonomy—all without her consent. Her crime? She'd been baptized. She felt at peace. She prayed for her neighbors. In this episode, Rachel shares what happened when a spiritual awakening was reinterpreted as a psychiatric emergency—and what she discovered when she started investigating the system that imprisoned her. This is a story about how easily your freedom can disappear. And about one woman who refused to stay silent. If you think this couldn't happen to you or someone you love, this episode will change your mind. Listen. Then share it with someone who needs to hear it.


Hosted by board-certified psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin, the Radically Genuine Podcast is a direct challenge to the superficial and often ineffective narratives that dominate discussions about wellness. This isn't about quick fixes or polite self-help tropes. Instead, Dr. McFillin engages in substantive, sometimes uncomfortable dialogues that dissect how cultural trends, the fitness industry, and the mental health system itself can sometimes hinder genuine healing. You'll hear from a compelling range of voices-including survivors of adversity, clinical experts, and independent thinkers-all united by a commitment to raw truth over feel-good fiction. The conversations within this podcast deliberately avoid easy answers, focusing instead on the complex, gritty work of building authentic resilience and psychological strength. It’s for anyone who suspects that mainstream advice has failed to address the root causes of personal and societal struggle, offering a deeper, more nuanced examination of human behavior and recovery. By confronting controversial topics and institutional failings without flinching, each episode aims to provide listeners with a more honest framework for navigating life's inevitable challenges, making it a distinctly valuable voice in the health and society podcast landscape.
