    Ep. 117 - How AI Is Changing Mental Health, Parenting, Therapy & Teen Brains w/ Dr. Joshua Stein, MD
    2026/07/15
    Is artificial intelligence helping mental health—or quietly harming it? In this eye-opening and deeply relevant episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, Diana S. Rice sits down with board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Joshua Stein for a raw, balanced, and practical conversation about artificial intelligence, teen mental health, parenting in the digital age, social media addiction, emotional regulation, therapy, anxiety, self-diagnosis culture, and how AI is rapidly changing the future of mental health care. As therapists, parents, educators, and human beings trying to stay emotionally grounded in a rapidly changing digital world, this conversation is no longer optional. From ChatGPT and AI therapy tools to TikTok diagnoses, emotional support chatbots, social media overload, and AI-assisted mental health support, Diana and Dr. Stein explore what people need to understand right now—without fear-mongering, panic, or losing our humanity in the process. Dr. Stein shares what first caught his attention: Teenagers and adults were already using AI for emotional support, mental health questions, therapy reinforcement, journaling, emotional processing, relationship concerns, and self-understanding long before many professionals realized what was happening. This episode explores: AI and mental healthChatGPT and emotional supportTeen mental health in the digital ageParenting and technology boundariesSocial media addiction and anxietyAI therapy tools and mental health appsHigh-functioning anxiety and emotional overwhelmSelf-diagnosis culture on TikTokADHD and autism self-diagnosis onlineEmotional regulation and coping skillsDialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)AI psychosis concerns and emotional dependencyMental health stigma in churches and communitiesHow parents can talk to teens about AI safelyHealthy technology boundaries for familiesThe future of therapy and artificial intelligenceWhy AI is not replacing therapistsHow AI can "supercharge" therapy when used wisely One of the most important takeaways from this episode: AI is already here. The question is not whether people are using it—the question is whether we are teaching people how to use it safely, wisely, ethically, and relationally. Dr. Stein also discusses: Why many teens prefer texting or AI communication over phone callsThe emotional risks of isolation and excessive screen dependencyWhy parents shutting conversations down often backfiresHow curiosity and connection create safer conversations with teensThe importance of keeping communication open instead of fear-basedWhy AI should never fully replace human clinical careHow mental health identity culture can become problematic onlineThe importance of seeing the "whole person" beyond a diagnosis A powerful point Dr. Stein makes throughout the episode: Technology itself is not inherently evil or good—it is a tool. The real issue is whether people are using it with awareness, boundaries, wisdom, accountability, and human connection. Dr. Stein also shares practical signs parents should watch for if technology or AI use is becoming unhealthy: Increased isolationWithdrawal from hobbies or relationshipsHiding technology useEmotional reactivity after screen useSudden rigid identity attachment to online diagnosesNew paranoia or unusual beliefsDependency on AI for emotional validationDifficulty functioning in real-world relationships This episode is especially important for: Parents navigating technology with teensTherapists and mental health professionalsTeachers and school counselorsMinistry leaders and faith communitiesAdults using ChatGPT or AI for emotional supportAnyone concerned about AI and mental healthFamilies trying to create healthy digital boundariesPeople feeling overwhelmed by technology and social media About Dr. Joshua Stein: Dr. Joshua Stein is a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist, Chief of Medical Staff at PrairieCare, and Clinical Director and Attending Clinician at Newport Healthcare's PrairieCare Youth Partial Hospitalization Program in Minnesota.

    Ep. 116 - Why "Strong" People Struggle in Silence: Men's Mental Health, High-Functioning Anxiety, Intimacy & Healing w/ Todd Malloy, LMFT, CST
    2026/07/08
    Why do so many high-functioning people look successful on the outside while silently struggling on the inside? In this powerful episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, Diana S. Rice sits down with psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, former engineer, and former pastor Todd Malloy for a deeply honest conversation about men's mental health, emotional neglect, survival mode, intimacy, trauma responses, burnout, faith, relationships, and what it actually means to heal. Todd shares his own story of growing up in poverty, helping support his family as a teenager, suppressing parts of himself to survive, and eventually realizing that achievement and productivity were not the same thing as emotional health. Together, Diana and Todd unpack: High-functioning anxiety and emotional exhaustionWhy many "strong" people suffer in silenceChildhood emotional neglect and survival programmingMen's mental health and emotional suppressionFaith, healing, and emotional honestyRelationship struggles, intimacy, and communicationWhy social media is increasing anxiety and disconnectionEmotional fitness and nervous system awarenessThe pressure many men feel to provide while neglecting themselvesTrauma responses disguised as resiliencePurity culture, shame, and emotional disconnectHow to stop living from other people's expectationsWhat true healing and self-reclamation actually look like One of the most impactful themes in this episode is Todd's insight that many adults are not truly living their own lives — they are living out emotional scripts handed to them through family systems, culture, religion, fear, survival, and unresolved pain. Todd also explains: Why emotional suppression often turns into anger, anxiety, or depressionHow survival mode impacts relationships and intimacyWhy many men were taught to "suffer in silence"How rigidity in faith or identity can block healingWhy emotional safety matters in both therapy and relationshipsThe importance of learning to identify and communicate emotions honestly This episode also dives into: Attachment theoryEmotional fitnessBowen Family Systems conceptsEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)Communication patterns in relationshipsTrauma-informed healingSelf-awareness and nervous system regulation Todd shares practical tools listeners can begin using immediately, including: The "Five Whys" exercise for uncovering root beliefsWriting your life story from a third-person perspectiveBecoming aware of emotional triggers and body sensationsLearning to pause before reacting emotionallyAsking better internal questionsBuilding intentional emotional connection in relationshipsReframing success based on authenticity instead of performance If you've ever felt: emotionally exhausted but still functioningdisconnected from yourselfpressured to always be strongmisunderstood in relationshipsspiritually confusedburned out from constantly survivingafraid to slow downlonely despite being surrounded by people …this conversation is for you.

    What is the connection between trauma and incarceration? Can people truly change after prison? And how do you begin healing from trauma, shame, and past mistakes? In this episode of The Holistic Counselor Podcast, Diana S. Rice, LMHC, CIMHP, sits down with Ranae Van Roekel, founder of Connecting to Cope, to explore the intersection of childhood trauma, emotional regulation, mental health, and the criminal justice system.
