   023 - The Truthful Therapist with Pamela Garfield-Jaeger

   In this episode, I share my conversation with Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, aka, The Truthful Therapist. Pamela has become well-known in recent years for pushing back against the claims of gender ideology and so-called "gender-affirming" medicine. In her work and advocacy to protect those struggling with gender dysphoria and distress, she leans into what the scientific evidence does and does not say. Pamela has been featured in multiple documentaries on the subject and has testified both for and against many bills across the US related to gender medicine. Check out Pamela's website here, and her new book, A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1KZVTJ).
