I actually like the sentiment that every therapist should be seeing a therapist. It doesn't mean they are all mentally ill themself, but it does mean they are taking the time to care for their own mental health and getting feedback from another professional.
Yep. They have to sit and listen to absolutely awful things as a job. It makes total sense they should have a therapist to check in with and work through things. Also tons of mental illnesses can be treated, but you may still want check ins or just help processing events in your own life. Therapists don't magically become mentally perfect forever lol. And they can't just therapize themselves. Doctors go see doctors!
Exactly. Also a lot of therapists become therapist because they know the struggle with mental health and want to be there for other people who struggle with the same thing. Definitely did not agree with Stephanie on that matter. Also if every therapist in the world was "fixed" there would be very little therapists in the world, maybe even none. Because they are still human.
@erika lol, we all get overburdened at times and all need to offload. If practising you are supposed to do at least 1 hour per month(I think, if I remember correctly)
There is also another victim in this case. All her clients. It took me 10 years to trust a therapist again after the one I had as a teenager didn't listen to me, and just put me on whatever medication my mother asked all because I didn't like her boyfriend (WHO TRIED TO SLEEP WITH ME BEHIND HER BACK). Imagine all those poor people finding out their therapist was so evil and then questioning themselves and refusing to seek help again. How many of her patients suffered mentally because of her selfish choices.
That’s an excellent point. The clients are absolutely victims. And I think it’s very important for mental health professionals to talk to someone professionally themselves as a way to try to make sure that they remain in a place where they are truly capable of supporting their clients in an appropriate manner. It’s not going to be foolproof of course, especially since the mental health professional under treatment does not have to follow anyone’s advice who might believe that he or she should not be treating clients. But it’s something.
This case is so bizarre to me. As someone with a master's degree in counseling, Pamela violated every ethical rule in the book. Professionals cannot treat family members, and the fact they lived together only makes it more unethical and complicated. Not only is this story bizarre, but it's completely shocking. Pamela's unethical behavior should have been detected by the board long ago. On another note, as someone who also lives with bipolar, your segment on the affects of missing doses is encouraging for me! PS: Another awesome video, Stephanie! Every time you upload, I get excited. Love your work! You're amazing.
This was my first thought when she said that. I was surprised she didn't bring it up as she's usually so through and good at catching that kind of thing.
I'm someone with mental health issues and I also have a cousin who is a psychiatrist. Even if it somehow was ethical, it would make me incredibly uncomfortable to have my cousin treating me. I love her very much but do I want to confide in her with all my personal issues? Hell no! I feel like since this is a US case some sort of argument could have been made if there had been money issues involved, but there's not even that to justify the reasoning. (I'm not saying not affording therapy with anyone but a family member would make it a good idea, but it would at least make sense in some way.)
I'm bipolar and your segment about the effects of missing doses and using drugs/alcohol really hit home for me. It was a very comforting surprise. Tuesday, I had a bad episode from missing a few doses and felt a bit guilty. But the mention of alcohol and drugs reminded me how far I've gotten in my mental health journey since I stopped self-medicatig. This video was the cherry on top of the rest of my week being okay. Thank you. ☺️
So happy to hear that. It's a hard road to walk. I'm 8 years sober, now, so I know how hard it is. I'm also diagnosed Bi-Polar 2, with PTSD. Taking the meds never worked when I was self medicating either. Much love, and stay strong.
I feel like I missed something, did I really just watch a video, a true crime video, where no one actually died? This must be the most refreshing true crime story I’ve ever heard so I really really thank you for this one because it is unusual to walk away without sobbing, without heartache, heartbreak and everything else these videos usually bring so thank you!
I’m studying to be a counselor and the big thing that my professors would make a point of is that anyone who is a psychologist/psychiatrist should see a mental health professional themselves. It’s not easy hearing different types of trauma from people of all walks of life. In order to keep helping others, it is important for counselors to have someone they can go to as well. Not defending the murderous psychiatrist because her issues seem to go beyond the occasional check in with a therapist. It’s scary that she was able to have her own practice.
Was about to write a comment saying the same exact thing- my mom's a psychologist and whenever it's mentioned in her field that mental healthcare workers need their own therapists and such, it's never about them being "the most mentally unwell" or anything, it's not even really a joke so much as a common statement- it's just about how taking on other people's problems, trauma, etc all the time can take a toll on someone's mental wellbeing and thus it has to be consistently checked in on by another professional in order for any kind of counseling to be a maintainable practice.
I hear pretty heavy things just as the receptionist in a practice, so I cannot imagine being the actual therapist. It is vital to have your own mental health support as a psychologist. It's really not used as a joke with us, either. Just a fact.
Psych nurse practitioner here and I totally agree. I also don’t agree that someone should not go into the profession just because they have a diagnosis, so long as they are receiving help and it is controlled while they are seeing patients.
I can’t imagine how all this affected their son!!! 😢 How can a mother hate their ex more than they love their child?! It’s so heartbreaking & disgusting!!! A parent should always put their child’s wellbeing first above everything!!!!
I don't know but it happens. My bio mother HATED my dad and did everything she could do to turn be against him. When I realized what was going on and refused to listen to her she became abusive enough that I feared for my life until I managed to escape. Since she could not get to my dad she took it out on me since she knew that it would hurt my father by hurting me. Needless to say, haven't spoken in years and have no desire to get to know someone capable of behaving that way.
Hi Stephanie ! I love your b Videos❤❤ I was recently dx with ovarian cancer stage 4 . I am a 46 year old mom of two 20 and17 yr old girls , and a wife . After chemo I am drained and your videos are the best distraction a cancer warrior could have . Thanks for all you do
Stephanie- just wanted to let you know that you’ve kept me sane since December 30th… I was hospitalized from not being able to walk or hold a cup without shaking. I’m looking at an MS diagnosis and have had MANY days of bed rest during this flare. I can’t see the TV clearly, but I can watch videos on my iPhone. You and Derrick (and the deep dive videos) are comforting to me. ❤❤❤
I am sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you get a diagnosis & treatment soon. In the , just incase you haven't already, I want to encourage you to connect with the illness/disability community, they have loads of advice & tips to help make your life a bit easier.
I went to rehab with Jacob, so I heard his side of the story. At that time, which was summer of 2015, he didn’t think he would get jail time, and he was so arrogant. He almost bragged about this situation. He also was trying to legally change his name, so he could get dates.
Dang. I haven't finished the video, but he seems to have been portrayed as a decent kid (barring circumstances 😒), but maybe it was just his parents saying that.
As someone who didn't get treatment for mental illnesses for a long time due to traumatic experiences with mental health professionals and services, I really hope Jacob Nolan isn't turned off from therapy forever due to this experience. I can't imagine how much of a bad taste is left in your mouth around therapy due to his relationship with Pamela
I hear you. My first contact was as a minor but I was pretty sure it was in fact my mum who caused my issues so I couldn't really open up to the professionals because they were required to report to my parents. So do I incur my mum's volatile rage or devastate my dad who was totally unware and worshiped her - in the end I said pretty much nothing. Looking back I wish I had....
Those bipolar meds are no joke. I was incorrectly diagnosed as bipolar and loaded up with 3 different meds. Then lost my insurance. Went off meds, lost my job, got medicated again. 20 years wasted. I'm not bipolar. I'm autistic with a sprinkling of ADHD. My story isn't uncommon. They (doctors) pump medications into a person without much thought. I'm bitter. There is a legion of half medicated zombies looking for mythological bootstrap to make everything better.
Yeah it happens a lot to women. We'll be diagnosed with everything under the sun before they finally settle on ASD because women and girls don't present the same way as boys and men and that's the default diagnostic criteria a lot of doctors use despite new data being available.
@@anniemcmillen940 ...Surely you understand the difference between taking medication for what you ACTUALLY struggle with, and being misdiagnosed and prescribed the wrong medication? Being on the wrong medication can lead to you being over-medicated (zombie-like, as the original comment put it), or lead you to act differently than you normally would. I didn't hear them say anything was wrong with medication being used for the right purposes.... but that when doctors just hand out medication like candy based off MISDIAGNOSIS, that's when there becomes a huge issue. And sadly, I too was misdiagnosed for over a decade.
@Annie McMillen What medication is used to treat autism? Also I don't think think they are anti medication but rather anti inappropriate medication, which I'm sure you'll agree is bad?
@@xsullengirlx yes, I agree totally. Prescribing SSRI’s to someone that actually has bipolar can send them into mania and psychosis - so yes, it is super important to be properly diagnosed and given the right meds. Unfortunately, I agree with you this is all too common!!
In regards to mental health, some people can never “recover” from whatever they’re dealing with, and the goal isn’t to become “whole”, but rather to manage their condition as best they can and survive, just like a chronic illness. I personally don’t mind professionals joking about their own mental health. My psychiatrist chose to specialize in the same cluster of conditions I have because they have them too. I can get the most supportive care from them and they understand the small nuances that others don’t. Humor is how I cope, and making jokes about it with someone that gets it is comforting. I always appreciate the transparency of professionals who are simply human. Pam doesn’t count though. Manipulative psychopaths aren’t people who generally want to see their patients do well and should have no place in the practice.
There was also the woman from the "Dear Zachary" documentary who after being released on bail in Canada for murdering her ex-boyfriend, was still allowed custody of their son. Even though his parents had moved to Canada to fight for custody. The judge who had released her on bail while she waited to stand trial said "I don't think she is a danger to anyone else, she killed who she wanted to kill" (or something ridiculous like that). Anyway, the woman ended up killing herself and baby Zachary. The whole story was heartbreaking. I paused at 42:09 to say this.
Didn't she kill the dad too, she was a real live crazy stalker. She was much older and he was younger and a Dr, I think she was too. It's been awhile since I watched and read up on the sad case.
I’m a divorce/child custody paralegal. It’s pretty common for the court to order parents to have a life insurance policy when they split up. Especially when that parent was the “bread winner” in the situation and serious financial hardship would occur for the child should that parent die. It is, in my opinion, terrifying to think about because like Stephanie said, it’s never good to be worth more money dead. Edit: every state is different.
That's crazy I didn't know that...I'm a solo parent (since 5months pregnant) so I never really had to go through these financial battles BC I chose not to chase child support. Scary to think about
@@YuallsomadYeah, I didn’t either. It’s probably for the best, because he spent most of his productive years in prison , anyway. I’d rather have my peace of mind than anything. ❤
You have NO idea how much I look forward to your videos!! And now with Crime Weekly NEWS, I always have great quality content to watch and listen to. Thank you!!
I definitely believe Pamela groomed and manipulated Jacob. I think it was her plan from jump. I’m thankful neither men lost their life. She’s evil. Great work as always, Stephanie. Edit to add ….. I do feel both punishments fit the crime. Even though I feel Pamela manipulated Jacob , I think he still deserved some time in prison. I do hope Jacob gets out and gets the care he needs. I hope he can still have a happy life. Pamela can rot!
I think the whole joke about metal health professionals needing their own therapists and whatnot is more meant to say that mental health professionals listen to a LOT of really horrific stuff from their patients. But they can't show emotion about those things in front of their patients. They have to stay professional. So yes, I think it is necessary for mental health professionals to have their own mental health providers because I'm sure they need an outlet to work through the emotions they likely feel after listening to horrible things their patients have endured.
Not only that but their patients issues may also trigger the therapists biases, trauma, etc. So it's important for them to keep that in check and not let it cloud their sessions.
A lot of doctors get into medicine after their own personal bouts with illness or watching their family members go through it. So I do think that people who have had mental health issues themselves can be drawn to psychiatry for that reason. Also, having their own therapist ("supervision") is also to make sure they are not projecting things onto their patients that come out of their own hang-ups. And dealing with strong feelings they might have about a patient that get in the way of being able to treat that patient objectively and successfully.
Totally agree with you! We can't expect mental health professionals to be "whole" as they are currently going through things that affect them throughout their life, just like every other person. Growth and improvement is a lifelong journey
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkka agreed, and I wouldn't want a mental health professional who is completely "fine" with no struggles at all of their own(past or present), as those struggles are what makes us human. If I wanted someone who lacks that much humanity I'll just Google how to stop being sad all the time. I'd rather talk to someone who knows how difficult mental health issues truly are. Now obviously I don't want a "mentally ill" psychologist but I also don't want one who's entirely blind to the problems they're attempting to solve.
I work doing grubhub and doordash in Massachusetts and your channel is one of my faves to listen to while i work and while im cleaning my house and honestly all the time! When i say ive seen every single video i mean it! I love this channel sooo much!! You honestly make my days so much better! Thank you!! I press like at the beginning of the video because i know i dont need to watch it first ill love it no matter what! Xoxo best wishes from Massachusetts!
Wow, interesting case that touched on some important issues. It was a refreshing shift that the murder wasn’t successful. Thanks, Stephanie! I think I’ve been listening to you for 5 years now (plus Crime Weekly), keep up the great work. We appreciate you!
“I have several college degrees! I’m a well respected psychologist! My apartment smells of rich mahogany!” 😂😂💀💀💀 dead! Reminds me of Sarah Boone because, as you know, she was a “straight A student, an outstanding mother to her son and she excelled at everything!” She wouldn’t have done that! 😂
The thing about therapists always having a therapist is likely due to vicarious trauma. That by hearing about hundreds of people's trauma in depth can cause it's own form of trauma. This is something we see in the field I'm studying in (ASL Interpreting) where interpreters will have vicarious trauma just through seeing oppression of people they care about everyday. So, I think it's something they say in a joking manner kind of like people do to make a negative thing seem a little less heavy. Every therapist I've ever had has said they've had a therapist before if not currently.
I’ve never heard of this before in relation to ASL interpreters, that is very interesting. My oldest is Deaf so I definitely have already gotten a taste of the rudeness and lack of compassion for Deaf people and their needs, from strangers, to activities/events we are attending and requesting interpretation, and even family. I always say, it’s not hard or sad to have a Deaf kid, it’s pretty amazing actually, but it’s other people that can make things hard for my daughter and which hurts to see as her mom. Then to worry about her future when I’m not there all the time and she has to do this all on her own.
That is likely true but it's also just that a lot of people who have trauma & have psychologically suffered often start to research it to better understand themselves, then end up pursuing it through academics/jobs. If they have been helped a lot by someone, often they want to spread that iindness & improve other people's lives so much.
@@NotAnotherKuromi Oh yes,for sure! Many people go into the field because they have struggled with their own mental health issues and want to help others. For the most part, they have done the work on themselves and gotten to a better place before they start practicing psychology. Just wanted to put vicarious trauma out there since it's something that most will experience in that type of field and it isn't talked about enough. We only just started having this discussion in the field I'm studying in and there's a long way to go on our understanding of this topic.
@@sunkitty19 It is really hard watching people we care about face discrimination and oppression. But I do just want to give you huge props for allowing your daughter to learn ASL and making sure she has interpreters. You wouldn't believe how many of my Deaf friends' parents never even actually talk to their kids because they never bothered to learn ASL and tried an oral only approach with horrible results. 70% of parents never learn ASL and consequently Deaf children suffer - language deprivation is real. Very happy that you want the best for your child and are doing what you can to ensure that. Your daughter will have a much better life because of it - so thank you for doing your part. This is what I love to see!
As someone who is a MHP, I make the joke that us MHPs are the craziest ones. Most of the time, MHPs have been through extremely traumatic things, needing intensive therapy themselves. I am one of those. I have 5 different mental health diagnoses but also work in a facility that treats teenage boys with mental health issues. When I make that joke, I make it because it lets those kids know that I’ve been through it too, but I am able to live a semi normal life and be successful. Being mentally ill does not equal dangerous. I will never be “whole” and I would never want to be. Missing parts of myself and being broken in different ways helps me to relate and understand my clients better. This is the only time I have ever been a little upset at something Stephanie said in a video. I do not have to be “whole” to be a mental health professional. But I do need to be professional and have boundaries with my practice. THAT is what she was missing.
I haven't watched the whole thing yet but therapists are not to counsel relatives, friends, or friends of relatives. It is unethical and can have legal consequences. And the fact she did this _and_ used it to manipulate her cousin, who had mental health issues, into killing him is disgusting!
I’m currently getting my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and luckily, there’s a lot more ethical codes in place now that prevent someone from giving therapy to a family member or anyone they are close to…for obvious reasons, it can be incredibly harmful to a client for them to have a personal relationship with their therapist outside of therapy. As for the mental health professionals being mentally sound, we are required to step back and get help ourselves if anything affects our practice/clients but healing isn’t linear and so a mental health professional can go through mental illness during active practice as long as they are getting help and it’s not affecting the clients. It’s crazy to hear this story compared to what we mental health professionals are being taught now.
@@jabine59 some did yes, but there has been recent evolutions that connect these codes to law. It’s insane that those changes didn’t come about till 2014 though. But you absolutely cannot counsel a family member under any circumstances now. She still had an active practice until she, herself, closed it down. If anyone found out about her LIVING with him, she would’ve been stripped of her title nowadays. And she was planning on using the fact that she was his counselor to prove his insanity, but it would be just telling on herself now, so I’m glad these are in place. Criminals do find their way around though, and counseling as field is trying it’s best to prevent monsters like this from being professionals !
I work in mental health and at my work we definitely joke that you’ve gotta have something going on yourself to willingly expose yourself to the trauma we hear daily at work, BUT the big part of those jokes is that we all actively engage in supports and what we need to proactively look after our mental well-being.
I always found it weird that in a costudy battle, it's not instantly seen as a red flag if one parent starts acting out and being very aggressive towards their ex partner. Like, to me that should be an instant loss, at least to having the child live with you.
i usually agree with most of your points but i will say that i would rather go to a therapist who also goes to therapy vs. one that doesn't. it let's me know that they understand that there is always room for improvement, and that they believe in the power of therapy themselves. you don't have to be in an active mental health emergency to seek therapy, and with the things these doctors see and hear from their patients sometimes I'm sure they need to speak with somebody confidentially instead of compartmentalizing it and keeping it inside them
On one hand, yes he needs to be held accountable. On the other hand, I struggle with suicidal ideations, major depression, self harm and I genuinely love my therapist and my psychiatrist, I would go to war for these ladies, cause I know they would go to war for me. I live in a country, where mental health isn’t taken as seriously as in the US, so apart from these two angels, most people in my life have always been like „Well if you’re that weak, you probably shouldn’t waste our time and you shouldn’t study here, work here etc.“. I remember when I was really struggling in my personal life, I asked the student aid at my university if I can take a year off or something, that lady straight up told me „Maybe working in McDonalds would be more suitable career for you“, my psychiatrist called that lady in her free time to fight for me and all of a sudden, I could take a year off.
One of the best notifications to recieve on you tube, I say one of the best because my other is crime weekly of course. You literally are my favourite here on you tube I remember when I first found you and you was still working and getting up super early to record before everyone woke up just watching you grow and expand is amazing and I just want to say Stephanie I appreciate you with every ounce of me not only for the continued great content but how you give the victims of each and every case a voice. Sending you and your family love and hugs from the UK
Stephanie, I want you to know that nothing can stop me from watching your videos! I'm in my car charging my phone and watching your video! We have no power in the house, and my town will have to be rebuilt. But you're video made me so happy. For a moment I could just relax and drink some coffee with you. Rebuilding starts tomorrow, so this relaxation is much needed before I throw myself at helping clean up my town. 😊
I have my Master's degree in psychology. I can't help but question everyone in your videos ( I'm not legally able to Dx) I listen to each person's personality. Someone who suffers from bipolar disorder is agonizing to watch. Medications take a lot of trials before finding the right one. The side effects can sometimes be worse feeling at the beginning. So many stop taking it. Watching a person go from Manic to stimulating behavior to not talking & lashing out is scary. For all person's around. I am bipolar. It took years to find the right Medications. I started psychology to understand myself better. I have more hyper behavior than anger. Anger scares me; for example if someone doubts me or I feel belittled. Instead of just ignoring it; I've said things I never even intended to. It's a very disturbing feeling. Because I try to be kind to all. My worst fear is losing control. I've seen many go off the deep end & truly hurt people. (Physically, mentally) bipolar disorder is brought on by trauma. Be careful who you let in your life, and know your worth. I pray you all have a beautiful day. Much love ❤️
Wow I kind of understand you.currently going through a deep depression. Can’t be bothered to get out of bed. Certain people trigger me, over silly things. ❤❤ I have not yet learnt to ignore them. Not violent just reactive via texts. I feel super sensitive. 😢😮
Some bipolar is traced to trauma, not all. I have no trauma, neither does my sister and we both have bipolar. We have other family members who also have bipolar. It is frequently attributed to genetics.
I cannot tell you how relieved I was that Michael didn’t die! Oh, and umm…Stephanie…that broad is a lunatic! She absolutely should be in prison, but 11 years is not nearly enough! I feel sorry for Jacob, and I hope he’s getting the right kind of help. Fantastic job (as usual) relaying this story. No one, and I mean no one, has your talent for writing . 💗
Totally one has to be very careful some have more hangups than my closet haha and should be far more upfront about it Lucy letterby was molly mollycodled by other professionals when she was clearly unwell !!!
Among nurses, it is not a joke, but a dearly held belief that being in the mental healthcare field will eventually drive you from a provider to a consumer just from repeated exposure to the clientele and their problems. Scarily, it is very rare to find a mental health nurse that is not more than a little off.
I am a nurse and worked on an inpatient Psych unit 45 years ago. I moved from the unit because of the problems of the psychiatrists-one was a pedophile who abused adolescents on the unit, one was an alcoholic, one was using heavy recreational drugs and sometimes fell asleep during patient rounds!!
As a mental health professional, I know many of us still regularly go to therapy ourselves. We all have inner battles and we have all suffered trauma in our lives, including therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, and mental health nurses. You can’t do what we do and remained completely unscathed emotionally. But, I absolutely agree that a mental health professional should be as emotionally healthy as they can possibly be.
In fact you would be the best guides for those who are lost because you cannot guide someone out of a place you have never been. You are valuable to the world. Thankyou for your work. All of you.
Would you consider talking about Ana Walshe in my own state of Massachusetts? She’s still missing but given the evidence they found it sounds just tragic… and her husband is the creepiest of the creeps 😫 would be huge if you shed a light on her case. Maybe someone saw something and can give a tip just from seeing your video ❤ please consider and wonderful job on this case
Im from mass too!! Idk of you watch her but Annie Else on the channel 10 to life covered that case. 10 to life and Stephanie Harlowe and this is monsters are my fav youtube channels. I work doing grubhub and doordash so i listen to all 3 channels every single day lol. Ps im in worcester mass where in mass are you from?
'Moving TOWARDS their mental health wholeness' says it all. Just because they are professionals doesn't mean they can fix all their issues before they show up to work. A lot of their issues are BECAUSE of the work they do and they also need someone to talk things out with.
Okay so I had to come back to this video because it’s sponsored by native, I’ve been watching you for years and been hearing you talk about native for a long time. So when I went to Walmart a few months ago and seen native products on the shelf I decided to grab a couple deodorants. And with my hidradenitis suppurativa I’m hesitant to try new deodorants. And I must say my HS has never been more stable and I’ve never smelt more good!! This deodorant is amazing and changed my life. Thanks for the recommendation Stephanie ❤❤
Nothing like listening to my favorite True Crime content creator while playing my favorite online game (Toontown Rewritten). Thank You Stephanie for making these videos!!!
Stephanie watching you pulling at your neck and shoulders just breaks my heart. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have nonstop pain in my neck and shoulders. And lately it's travelling to my knees. I had my medical marijuana card but let it lapse. I do have a non narcotic pain reliever from my Internist which is better than nothing. Anyway, I literally feel your pain 💜
@@StephanieHarlowe Perhaps the cold weather makes it worse? I live in PA and the weather has been miserable this week, definitely making me worse. Feel better soon 💜
@@dr.tamaraworley6174 Yes these things can give temporary relief. And who am I to argue with a Dr? 🤔 But it isn't always possible to follow special diets or workouts. And even when you can, it's but a temporary fix. I know Stephanie has a young son and a very important job that takes up the majority of her days I imagine. In a perfect world we could focus on doing all the things that give us temporary relief. But as this world is hardly perfect, and getting crazier by the day, we do what we can WHEN we can. I do appreciate your suggestions 💜
@Violent Femme, I totally hear what youre saying... and also, it may seem like temporary relief, but it truly is cumulative, so the more often a person can build a routine that incorporates regular gentle movement (esp water since no impact!), the better humans feel... thats all evidence based... but I also hear you that sometimes it can feel impossible to work into am alrwady impossibly busy routine. I guess im saying all of those points can be true... activity does help, AND its hard to work it in, AND also, results are proven to be FAR more than temporary and i wish our culture was better at supporting their human resources (thats US!) by allowing us to live lives where being comfortable in our bodies by getting the movement we need IS the priority.
Love your theme song, I replay opening often. Love videos, always informative & very professionally delivered. Then, get entertained with the closing theme song. Thanks, Stephanie!
Stephanie, just reminding you that your work is incredible. You are so much more thorough than everyone else that I have started rewatching your stuff instead of seeing anyone else's!
Love this video. I think the outcome is just. I remember feeling so bad at the time that Pamela wasn't held accountable. But your impersonation of the imagined Pamela Buchbinder pretending to be super respectable was so funny!🤣 Thanks so much for the update.
We’ve recently had a little girl in Oklahoma go missing, Athena Brownfield… and the stuff that keeps coming out about the parents (I think parents everyone keeps calling them caregivers)…. There’s more every day. Today the police just released they think the dad(or male caregiver??) killed her and buried her but they still haven’t found her…
@@anonymousadult LOL, that's why I said it brings "a NEW meaning" to "AFTERNOON DELIGHT"! But if you're an Arrested Development fan, it's ANOTHER meaning!!🤗 But the feeling I get from this channel COULD equate to the original meaning. 🤷🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
I never get notifications for you and I always have the bell on. You don’t show up in my recommended on my page or subs either even though I binge your content throughout my working day. RUclips is a cruel mistress to you. .. this was a wild case.
@@fx4426mIt was the one where the bald 46 year old guy heinously murdered a good man named Eric Washington in cold blood. I’m literally witnessing a murder caught on camera.
I wonder how the innocent customers out enjoying tacos felt having this poor innocent victim point a gun in their faces and rob them. You think maybe THEY are the real victims? Or perhaps the owner of the restaurant having his place of business on the news as the location of a shooting and robbery??? Sorry, it’s a sad thing the robber was killed but he should have thought twice about robbing people, Jesus. Lots of people are struggling financially and they don’t point real or fake guns at strangers and steal from them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. ETA: we clearly have different definitions of what a “good man” entails.
I agree with you, Stephanie. I'm glad they were both held responsible, but I don't understand how this case went on for so long with Jacob being able to go back to Florida, etc. When you were talking about the psychiatrist 'joke', here is my take on it. I'm in the mental health field and I've always heard it said "A counselor always needs a counselor of their own" because the stuff we hear about and are exposed to can get heavy. We can't go home and talk to our significant other about our individuals we serve, so another professional would be able to talk with you in confidence and help you walk through things that bother you. Thank you for covering these stories! I love it when they're 'solved' and I believe the right people were taken down. The Susan Powell story still bothers me to this day. Wish they could find her just to give the family some closure.
I LOVE when you cover cases that I am not familiar with. (This goes for Crime Weekly too!) 👏🏼 Thank you Stephanie, for your amazing & well researched (per usual) content. Speaking for myself & others (I’m sure); We are so grateful for you! ♥️
Excuse me… ma’am… why haven’t you wrote a book or gone on tour?!? You are absolutely freaking AMAZING!!! Your attention to detail is insane, literally nothing gets past you Girlll, hand to god it doesn’t matter what kind of mood im in im ALWAYS super thrilled to watch your videos! I wish you were my BFF (not trying to be creepy) you should come to Jersey, im sure you have hundreds of thousands of friends ( or ppl who want to be your friend) i bet your a blast to hang out with!!! Im about to be 40, going out sounds awful i like to hang out at home binge watch documentaries & snacks is a good time lol (NOT KIDDING) seriously you are an amazing speaker I absolutely love your videos! ❤❤❤ thank you for all you do for us!!
I absolutely HATE when parents put their kids in the middle.. I personally went through that as a kid and now I’m a step mom and I always assure my stepson how loved he is and that I will never replace his mom, I’m the bonus mom LOL
The fact that, after stabbing Michael six or seven times, Michael only needed stitches and was then released from hospital, tells me Jake was not the ferocious killer Pamela had hoped she'd groomed him to be. I can't believe she took advantage of Jake's impressionable nature, AND expect the insurance payout. There were flaming arrows pointing at her from the start.
Stephanie, if you put your foamed milk in the cup first and let it settle (have the hot milk and the foam separate with a cleanish line) and then pour your espresso shot into the cup, you'll get a cool 3-layer coffee: white foam, black coffee, white milk. ;)
that's literally how i made my coffee about an hour ago lol except I added ice to the foamed milk prior to pouring the espresso and obviously used cold instead of hot milk :) I think one would call this a "latte macchiato"
Ready to get into this while I start cleaning up. So much laundry, but now I have something intriguing to focus on. Thank you for always serving the best education while seamlessly being entertaining but also maintaining respect to the Vic or survivor, and all involved. But also givin the much deserved sass every now and then. Thank you for always giving us 5 star work. Love you Steph. 😎
Me listening during work - Stephanie "my apartment smells of rich mahogany", Me - literally spits out coffee laughing so hard!! The accuracy of the stereotype is spot on!!! Love it!!
Great video as always. And I think she should have gotten more time in prison. She was a psychiatrist who took advantage of the mental fragility of a client to kill her husband. And the only thing she got was 11 years and a loss of a license to practice in New York? Man our justice system is so broken.
The idea of letting a disturbed teen on medication taking care of your 4 year old is disturbing to begin with. This coming from someone who has married to a person who I used to love with all my heart and who has a serious mental illness. I tried EVERYTHING to help him, including involuntary commitment, and still had to end it after 10 years and a half. And we have no kids.
I love your rants SOOOO much! Picturing a therapist schooling me on how to control my impulses while they plan a murder, that was hillarious. And now my favorite defense that i really want someome to try to use is that their house "smells of rich mahogony". Did the crazy rich south carolina Murder family (murder... Murdock? Murdaugh!) use the "mahogony defense"? Snort.
Your opening clip seriously got me through some hard stuff. I would watch your coffee and crime times while I was getting sober and I made a delicious cup of coffee every time I watched you. I crave coffee when I hear your opening song. I love your voice and the hard work you are doing!
Haven’t gotten into the story yet but I just wanted to say, as a barista, it makes me happy to see how extensive your coffee routine and set up is. Makes me proud.
Sorry, this is a little off topic but I love the opening credits of your video, I find it strangely satisfying. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial type video showing step by step process of making the coffee in your intros. They could rival the big brand coffee chains. would be nice to know the type of coffee machine you use . You make the process look intricate but easy at same time. i want to elevate my home making coffee skills to the next level. i feel like i have written a thesis on coffee. love your main channel and crime weekly.
I feel like both can exist at the same time. You can joke about not being mentally stable while working towards it. I dont believe there is a fix, or a whole you aim for. Its about learning how to live your best life while dealing with these things in a healthy manner
There are just so many levels of power imbalance in that relationship. Jake was nothing more than the weapon Pamela chose to wield. I feel for both Jake and Michael.
Okay. Please... forgive me, because this has nothing to do with how wonderful I think you are or how passionate you are bringing awareness to unjustice !! BUT I'm Obsessed, OBSESSED... with your lip color !!! PLEASE... share what it is 💋 Oh and p.s. I just ordered a huge order of Native a few days back. I can't wait to use it ❤
Re: Them laying in bed together, It sounds like as a 19 y/o essentially under her care who also grew up with his cousin already 20 years older than him, he may have viewed her as a motherly/aunt figure. I would lay next to my mom or aunt without issue bc it's just maternal, you know? But I'm sure she was using that familial connection to manipulate him by being so emotionally 'romantic' with him. Creating that closeness/trust on both levels.
41:02 I said it out loud, at exactly the same time as you! It 100% reminded me of Susan Powell. That kid shouldn't have been left with her, she could've attempted or be successful in killing him as a form of "revenge" and her attempt at killing the father of the child failing.
I'm sorry steph. I couldn't listen to Casey Anthony bs story without stabbing my eyes and ears with a knitting needle. Love to you and fellow listeners. Happy new year to you all.
You are not alone🤢🤮. Why would any production company pay someone for them just to lie? Trying to make that POS at to be a loving doting parent. IMO I think CA mur---- Caylee BC she was jealous of the love & attention Caylee was getting (how effing sick) & she wanted to hurt her parents. BC if was no need to take Caylee to any "babysitter." I'm pretty sure Cindy & George would have gladly watched Caylee when CA went to her fake job.
I know someone got rid of information about CA on the internet. She loved Caylee so much! Couldn't have been that much she tossed Caylees ashes in the trash? The matching necklaces Cindy got made with some of Caylee's ashes. It was all over the internet a few years ago. Anything dealing with her throwing Caylee away for the 2nd time has vanished! She is beyond disgusting, disturbing, deviant, vindictive, sadistic & Sheer evil!
It is good for mental health professionals to have their own therapists. It’s quite a lot to shoulder this type of work, helping other people. Burn out is real, and sometimes CISD is needed if there are extremely difficult cases. This does not explain or excuse this therapists behavior. Her actions were completely unhinged.
I found this channel a few weeks ago and still trying to watch all the videos because I love them all!! Thank you for all your hard work and care you put into every video!
Welcome!!! You are now addicted!! One of Stephanie’s fav saying goes something like this You have to go back to the beginning to understand the story I encourage you to start back even at the skin care/beauty (if those are still out there). No matter what Stephanie has done, she puts her all into it!!
Native has seriously good deodorant. I highly recommend. I detoxed off all deodorant at the beginning of the pandemic for 6 months. After 6 months I introduced aluminum free deodorant and had a lot of duds before finding Native. Highly recommend. Gonna try some new scents. 😚
The reason mental health workers see someone is because of the high amount of burn out and to keep them sane. Imagine listening to others’ problems all day 5 days a week, for years and you can’t discuss them with anyone because of privacy issues. It is a recipe for disaster if the workers’ mental health isn’t taken seriously. The justice system dropped the ball with Pamala imho. It took them way to long to arrest her. Love how you dig in on all the main characters in your videos!
Who else likes Stephanie's videos before they even start because you know they're going to be good?
Me All the time I Dance to Her intro Lol
🙋🏼♀️
😂 same
Every time!
Yup!! And so I don't forget 😊
I actually like the sentiment that every therapist should be seeing a therapist. It doesn't mean they are all mentally ill themself, but it does mean they are taking the time to care for their own mental health and getting feedback from another professional.
Yep. They have to sit and listen to absolutely awful things as a job. It makes total sense they should have a therapist to check in with and work through things. Also tons of mental illnesses can be treated, but you may still want check ins or just help processing events in your own life.
Therapists don't magically become mentally perfect forever lol. And they can't just therapize themselves. Doctors go see doctors!
Exactly. Also a lot of therapists become therapist because they know the struggle with mental health and want to be there for other people who struggle with the same thing. Definitely did not agree with Stephanie on that matter. Also if every therapist in the world was "fixed" there would be very little therapists in the world, maybe even none. Because they are still human.
I was training to be a counsellor and can confirm they do, they have to attend at least once a month
@@shauneenmallon7053 I was about to say i can think of a high profile one that i'm certain doesn't but they're not practicing so it doesn't count. 🤣
@erika lol, we all get overburdened at times and all need to offload. If practising you are supposed to do at least 1 hour per month(I think, if I remember correctly)
There is also another victim in this case. All her clients. It took me 10 years to trust a therapist again after the one I had as a teenager didn't listen to me, and just put me on whatever medication my mother asked all because I didn't like her boyfriend (WHO TRIED TO SLEEP WITH ME BEHIND HER BACK). Imagine all those poor people finding out their therapist was so evil and then questioning themselves and refusing to seek help again. How many of her patients suffered mentally because of her selfish choices.
Absolutely
As a therapist myself, this is so heartbreaking to hear. I'm so sorry they treated you this way.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
That’s an excellent point. The clients are absolutely victims. And I think it’s very important for mental health professionals to talk to someone professionally themselves as a way to try to make sure that they remain in a place where they are truly capable of supporting their clients in an appropriate manner. It’s not going to be foolproof of course, especially since the mental health professional under treatment does not have to follow anyone’s advice who might believe that he or she should not be treating clients. But it’s something.
Great point and well said. I hope you’re doing better these days (my Mom sucks too)
This case is so bizarre to me. As someone with a master's degree in counseling, Pamela violated every ethical rule in the book. Professionals cannot treat family members, and the fact they lived together only makes it more unethical and complicated. Not only is this story bizarre, but it's completely shocking. Pamela's unethical behavior should have been detected by the board long ago.
On another note, as someone who also lives with bipolar, your segment on the affects of missing doses is encouraging for me!
PS: Another awesome video, Stephanie! Every time you upload, I get excited. Love your work! You're amazing.
Some people are just in it for power. I’m wondering if she ever enjoyed manipulating patients.
110% agree w all!!
This was my first thought when she said that. I was surprised she didn't bring it up as she's usually so through and good at catching that kind of thing.
I'm someone with mental health issues and I also have a cousin who is a psychiatrist. Even if it somehow was ethical, it would make me incredibly uncomfortable to have my cousin treating me. I love her very much but do I want to confide in her with all my personal issues? Hell no! I feel like since this is a US case some sort of argument could have been made if there had been money issues involved, but there's not even that to justify the reasoning. (I'm not saying not affording therapy with anyone but a family member would make it a good idea, but it would at least make sense in some way.)
You just answered my question. I thought it was a huge no no treating a family member.
I'm bipolar and your segment about the effects of missing doses and using drugs/alcohol really hit home for me. It was a very comforting surprise.
Tuesday, I had a bad episode from missing a few doses and felt a bit guilty.
But the mention of alcohol and drugs reminded me how far I've gotten in my mental health journey since I stopped self-medicatig.
This video was the cherry on top of the rest of my week being okay.
Thank you. ☺️
Well good job for you. I'm a almost 10 recovering addict myself. It's hard but very possible. Congrats to us yahh
It is a journey! I’m proud of you!
You are a person WITH bipolar disorder. Your mental illness does not define you ❣❤🫂
So happy to hear that. It's a hard road to walk. I'm 8 years sober, now, so I know how hard it is. I'm also diagnosed Bi-Polar 2, with PTSD. Taking the meds never worked when I was self medicating either. Much love, and stay strong.
Good for you! ❤️
Congratulations on a hard fought and continuing victory! x
I feel like I missed something, did I really just watch a video, a true crime video, where no one actually died? This must be the most refreshing true crime story I’ve ever heard so I really really thank you for this one because it is unusual to walk away without sobbing, without heartache, heartbreak and everything else these videos usually bring so thank you!
I think we needed one
I was also happy to hear someone survived
Even managed a laugh at the end at Stephanie's dark humour when imagining sitting across from a "crackerjack" therapist who was planning a murder 😂
TRUE 🤣rare but it happens
I’m studying to be a counselor and the big thing that my professors would make a point of is that anyone who is a psychologist/psychiatrist should see a mental health professional themselves. It’s not easy hearing different types of trauma from people of all walks of life. In order to keep helping others, it is important for counselors to have someone they can go to as well. Not defending the murderous psychiatrist because her issues seem to go beyond the occasional check in with a therapist. It’s scary that she was able to have her own practice.
Great point. I agree.
I am a retired clinical social worker in private practice....def. A good idea.
Was about to write a comment saying the same exact thing- my mom's a psychologist and whenever it's mentioned in her field that mental healthcare workers need their own therapists and such, it's never about them being "the most mentally unwell" or anything, it's not even really a joke so much as a common statement- it's just about how taking on other people's problems, trauma, etc all the time can take a toll on someone's mental wellbeing and thus it has to be consistently checked in on by another professional in order for any kind of counseling to be a maintainable practice.
I hear pretty heavy things just as the receptionist in a practice, so I cannot imagine being the actual therapist. It is vital to have your own mental health support as a psychologist. It's really not used as a joke with us, either. Just a fact.
Psych nurse practitioner here and I totally agree. I also don’t agree that someone should not go into the profession just because they have a diagnosis, so long as they are receiving help and it is controlled while they are seeing patients.
I can’t imagine how all this affected their son!!! 😢 How can a mother hate their ex more than they love their child?! It’s so heartbreaking & disgusting!!! A parent should always put their child’s wellbeing first above everything!!!!
Yes the love for your child should surpass the hate for your ex as I always say too.
I don't know but it happens. My bio mother HATED my dad and did everything she could do to turn be against him. When I realized what was going on and refused to listen to her she became abusive enough that I feared for my life until I managed to escape. Since she could not get to my dad she took it out on me since she knew that it would hurt my father by hurting me. Needless to say, haven't spoken in years and have no desire to get to know someone capable of behaving that way.
Hi Stephanie ! I love your b
Videos❤❤ I was recently dx with ovarian cancer stage 4 . I am a 46 year old mom of two 20 and17 yr old girls , and a wife . After chemo I am drained and your videos are the best distraction a cancer warrior could have . Thanks for all you do
❤️
💔💗💕
Hope and Healing ❤️.
I’m sending all my positive thoughts to you!! I’m glad I can bring you some form of comfort ❤️❤️
Chemo doesn't drain me as much as radiation does❤️ we are strong
Stephanie- just wanted to let you know that you’ve kept me sane since December 30th… I was hospitalized from not being able to walk or hold a cup without shaking. I’m looking at an MS diagnosis and have had MANY days of bed rest during this flare. I can’t see the TV clearly, but I can watch videos on my iPhone. You and Derrick (and the deep dive videos) are comforting to me. ❤❤❤
feel better beautiful!!!
I hope things improve for you! Love that you are finding the light in the little things ❤️ MS has nothing on you!
I hope the flare resides soon❤ my dear friend has MS (also recent diagnosis) and she has had a lot of symptoms relief with his twice yearly infusion.
I am sorry to hear about your illness, I hope you get a diagnosis & treatment soon. In the , just incase you haven't already, I want to encourage you to connect with the illness/disability community, they have loads of advice & tips to help make your life a bit easier.
holding a good thought for you
"this is my opinion; also I am always right." True story, Stephanie. So true! 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went to rehab with Jacob, so I heard his side of the story. At that time, which was summer of 2015, he didn’t think he would get jail time, and he was so arrogant. He almost bragged about this situation. He also was trying to legally change his name, so he could get dates.
Idk a tactful way of asking but did he seem sane when in rehab? Also I hope your recovery is going well.
Wow that’s interesting. I didn’t imagine him that way during the story
Spill more tea please
Dang. I haven't finished the video, but he seems to have been portrayed as a decent kid (barring circumstances 😒), but maybe it was just his parents saying that.
@@NotAnotherKuromi yes, he seemed pretty sane. He did struggle with bipolar but when we were in treatment he was pretty stable.
As someone who didn't get treatment for mental illnesses for a long time due to traumatic experiences with mental health professionals and services, I really hope Jacob Nolan isn't turned off from therapy forever due to this experience. I can't imagine how much of a bad taste is left in your mouth around therapy due to his relationship with Pamela
I can relate to that. I hope that is not the result, for him. He needs, and deserves, good care.
I hear you. My first contact was as a minor but I was pretty sure it was in fact my mum who caused my issues so I couldn't really open up to the professionals because they were required to report to my parents. So do I incur my mum's volatile rage or devastate my dad who was totally unware and worshiped her - in the end I said pretty much nothing. Looking back I wish I had....
I actually only opened up about 35 years later when they had both passed.....
Those bipolar meds are no joke. I was incorrectly diagnosed as bipolar and loaded up with 3 different meds. Then lost my insurance. Went off meds, lost my job, got medicated again. 20 years wasted. I'm not bipolar. I'm autistic with a sprinkling of ADHD. My story isn't uncommon. They (doctors) pump medications into a person without much thought. I'm bitter. There is a legion of half medicated zombies looking for mythological bootstrap to make everything better.
Yeah it happens a lot to women. We'll be diagnosed with everything under the sun before they finally settle on ASD because women and girls don't present the same way as boys and men and that's the default diagnostic criteria a lot of doctors use despite new data being available.
ADHD and autism are also treated with medications so I'm not sure what you're saying? Unless you are just saying amphetamine is the drug for you
@@anniemcmillen940 ...Surely you understand the difference between taking medication for what you ACTUALLY struggle with, and being misdiagnosed and prescribed the wrong medication? Being on the wrong medication can lead to you being over-medicated (zombie-like, as the original comment put it), or lead you to act differently than you normally would. I didn't hear them say anything was wrong with medication being used for the right purposes.... but that when doctors just hand out medication like candy based off MISDIAGNOSIS, that's when there becomes a huge issue. And sadly, I too was misdiagnosed for over a decade.
@Annie McMillen What medication is used to treat autism?
Also I don't think think they are anti medication but rather anti inappropriate medication, which I'm sure you'll agree is bad?
@@xsullengirlx yes, I agree totally. Prescribing SSRI’s to someone that actually has bipolar can send them into mania and psychosis - so yes, it is super important to be properly diagnosed and given the right meds. Unfortunately, I agree with you this is all too common!!
In regards to mental health, some people can never “recover” from whatever they’re dealing with, and the goal isn’t to become “whole”, but rather to manage their condition as best they can and survive, just like a chronic illness.
I personally don’t mind professionals joking about their own mental health. My psychiatrist chose to specialize in the same cluster of conditions I have because they have them too. I can get the most supportive care from them and they understand the small nuances that others don’t. Humor is how I cope, and making jokes about it with someone that gets it is comforting.
I always appreciate the transparency of professionals who are simply human.
Pam doesn’t count though. Manipulative psychopaths aren’t people who generally want to see their patients do well and should have no place in the practice.
There was also the woman from the "Dear Zachary" documentary who after being released on bail in Canada for murdering her ex-boyfriend, was still allowed custody of their son. Even though his parents had moved to Canada to fight for custody. The judge who had released her on bail while she waited to stand trial said "I don't think she is a danger to anyone else, she killed who she wanted to kill" (or something ridiculous like that). Anyway, the woman ended up killing herself and baby Zachary. The whole story was heartbreaking. I paused at 42:09 to say this.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes. Such a heartbreaking case. Has Stephanie covered this story?
Didn't she kill the dad too, she was a real live crazy stalker. She was much older and he was younger and a Dr, I think she was too. It's been awhile since I watched and read up on the sad case.
That's disgusting
Yeah it started with her killing the father. The whole case is horrible.
I’m a divorce/child custody paralegal. It’s pretty common for the court to order parents to have a life insurance policy when they split up. Especially when that parent was the “bread winner” in the situation and serious financial hardship would occur for the child should that parent die. It is, in my opinion, terrifying to think about because like Stephanie said, it’s never good to be worth more money dead.
Edit: every state is different.
Wasn’t she also a psychiatrist?! 😅
@@NoelleBelle06 haha yes! But clearly a shitty one! 😂
That's crazy I didn't know that...I'm a solo parent (since 5months pregnant) so I never really had to go through these financial battles BC I chose not to chase child support. Scary to think about
@@YuallsomadYeah, I didn’t either. It’s probably for the best, because he spent most of his productive years in prison , anyway. I’d rather have my peace of mind than anything. ❤
I don't recall either of my divorced parents mentioning a life insurance policy
Your videos are once again showing for my notifications, it has been months without them
You have NO idea how much I look forward to your videos!! And now with Crime Weekly NEWS, I always have great quality content to watch and listen to. Thank you!!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you!
I definitely believe Pamela groomed and manipulated Jacob. I think it was her plan from jump. I’m thankful neither men lost their life. She’s evil. Great work as always, Stephanie.
Edit to add …..
I do feel both punishments fit the crime. Even though I feel Pamela manipulated Jacob , I think he still deserved some time in prison. I do hope Jacob gets out and gets the care he needs. I hope he can still have a happy life. Pamela can rot!
I think the whole joke about metal health professionals needing their own therapists and whatnot is more meant to say that mental health professionals listen to a LOT of really horrific stuff from their patients. But they can't show emotion about those things in front of their patients. They have to stay professional. So yes, I think it is necessary for mental health professionals to have their own mental health providers because I'm sure they need an outlet to work through the emotions they likely feel after listening to horrible things their patients have endured.
Not only that but their patients issues may also trigger the therapists biases, trauma, etc. So it's important for them to keep that in check and not let it cloud their sessions.
A lot of doctors get into medicine after their own personal bouts with illness or watching their family members go through it. So I do think that people who have had mental health issues themselves can be drawn to psychiatry for that reason. Also, having their own therapist ("supervision") is also to make sure they are not projecting things onto their patients that come out of their own hang-ups. And dealing with strong feelings they might have about a patient that get in the way of being able to treat that patient objectively and successfully.
Totally agree with you! We can't expect mental health professionals to be "whole" as they are currently going through things that affect them throughout their life, just like every other person. Growth and improvement is a lifelong journey
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkka agreed, and I wouldn't want a mental health professional who is completely "fine" with no struggles at all of their own(past or present), as those struggles are what makes us human. If I wanted someone who lacks that much humanity I'll just Google how to stop being sad all the time. I'd rather talk to someone who knows how difficult mental health issues truly are. Now obviously I don't want a "mentally ill" psychologist but I also don't want one who's entirely blind to the problems they're attempting to solve.
EMS providers also make pretty morbid jokes to each other. It keeps them sane. If they don’t laugh, they’ll cry
I work doing grubhub and doordash in Massachusetts and your channel is one of my faves to listen to while i work and while im cleaning my house and honestly all the time! When i say ive seen every single video i mean it! I love this channel sooo much!! You honestly make my days so much better! Thank you!! I press like at the beginning of the video because i know i dont need to watch it first ill love it no matter what! Xoxo best wishes from Massachusetts!
Wow, interesting case that touched on some important issues. It was a refreshing shift that the murder wasn’t successful. Thanks, Stephanie! I think I’ve been listening to you for 5 years now (plus Crime Weekly), keep up the great work. We appreciate you!
Awwww thanks for being an OG!
“I have several college degrees! I’m a well respected psychologist! My apartment smells of rich mahogany!” 😂😂💀💀💀 dead! Reminds me of Sarah Boone because, as you know, she was a “straight A student, an outstanding mother to her son and she excelled at everything!” She wouldn’t have done that! 😂
The thing about therapists always having a therapist is likely due to vicarious trauma. That by hearing about hundreds of people's trauma in depth can cause it's own form of trauma. This is something we see in the field I'm studying in (ASL Interpreting) where interpreters will have vicarious trauma just through seeing oppression of people they care about everyday. So, I think it's something they say in a joking manner kind of like people do to make a negative thing seem a little less heavy. Every therapist I've ever had has said they've had a therapist before if not currently.
I’ve never heard of this before in relation to ASL interpreters, that is very interesting. My oldest is Deaf so I definitely have already gotten a taste of the rudeness and lack of compassion for Deaf people and their needs, from strangers, to activities/events we are attending and requesting interpretation, and even family. I always say, it’s not hard or sad to have a Deaf kid, it’s pretty amazing actually, but it’s other people that can make things hard for my daughter and which hurts to see as her mom. Then to worry about her future when I’m not there all the time and she has to do this all on her own.
That is likely true but it's also just that a lot of people who have trauma & have psychologically suffered often start to research it to better understand themselves, then end up pursuing it through academics/jobs. If they have been helped a lot by someone, often they want to spread that iindness & improve other people's lives so much.
@@NotAnotherKuromi Oh yes,for sure! Many people go into the field because they have struggled with their own mental health issues and want to help others. For the most part, they have done the work on themselves and gotten to a better place before they start practicing psychology. Just wanted to put vicarious trauma out there since it's something that most will experience in that type of field and it isn't talked about enough. We only just started having this discussion in the field I'm studying in and there's a long way to go on our understanding of this topic.
@@sunkitty19 It is really hard watching people we care about face discrimination and oppression. But I do just want to give you huge props for allowing your daughter to learn ASL and making sure she has interpreters. You wouldn't believe how many of my Deaf friends' parents never even actually talk to their kids because they never bothered to learn ASL and tried an oral only approach with horrible results. 70% of parents never learn ASL and consequently Deaf children suffer - language deprivation is real. Very happy that you want the best for your child and are doing what you can to ensure that. Your daughter will have a much better life because of it - so thank you for doing your part. This is what I love to see!
As someone who is a MHP, I make the joke that us MHPs are the craziest ones. Most of the time, MHPs have been through extremely traumatic things, needing intensive therapy themselves. I am one of those. I have 5 different mental health diagnoses but also work in a facility that treats teenage boys with mental health issues. When I make that joke, I make it because it lets those kids know that I’ve been through it too, but I am able to live a semi normal life and be successful. Being mentally ill does not equal dangerous. I will never be “whole” and I would never want to be. Missing parts of myself and being broken in different ways helps me to relate and understand my clients better. This is the only time I have ever been a little upset at something Stephanie said in a video. I do not have to be “whole” to be a mental health professional. But I do need to be professional and have boundaries with my practice. THAT is what she was missing.
The best feeling ever. Stephanie notification comes, EVERYTHING ELSE stops 😁
SAME!! ❤
ESPECIALLY after I finished all my cleaning and laundry.. total relaxation 😌
I haven't watched the whole thing yet but therapists are not to counsel relatives, friends, or friends of relatives. It is unethical and can have legal consequences. And the fact she did this _and_ used it to manipulate her cousin, who had mental health issues, into killing him is disgusting!
I’m currently getting my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and luckily, there’s a lot more ethical codes in place now that prevent someone from giving therapy to a family member or anyone they are close to…for obvious reasons, it can be incredibly harmful to a client for them to have a personal relationship with their therapist outside of therapy. As for the mental health professionals being mentally sound, we are required to step back and get help ourselves if anything affects our practice/clients but healing isn’t linear and so a mental health professional can go through mental illness during active practice as long as they are getting help and it’s not affecting the clients. It’s crazy to hear this story compared to what we mental health professionals are being taught now.
beep, those ethical codes existed back when Pamela pulled her little stunt. She just ignored them. That's the problem with criminals....
@@jabine59 some did yes, but there has been recent evolutions that connect these codes to law. It’s insane that those changes didn’t come about till 2014 though. But you absolutely cannot counsel a family member under any circumstances now. She still had an active practice until she, herself, closed it down. If anyone found out about her LIVING with him, she would’ve been stripped of her title nowadays. And she was planning on using the fact that she was his counselor to prove his insanity, but it would be just telling on herself now, so I’m glad these are in place. Criminals do find their way around though, and counseling as field is trying it’s best to prevent monsters like this from being professionals !
I work in mental health and at my work we definitely joke that you’ve gotta have something going on yourself to willingly expose yourself to the trauma we hear daily at work, BUT the big part of those jokes is that we all actively engage in supports and what we need to proactively look after our mental well-being.
I always found it weird that in a costudy battle, it's not instantly seen as a red flag if one parent starts acting out and being very aggressive towards their ex partner. Like, to me that should be an instant loss, at least to having the child live with you.
She deserved A LOT more time than she got!!!! Thank you, Ms. Harlowe; I’d never heard of this crazy case before!!!♥️
i usually agree with most of your points but i will say that i would rather go to a therapist who also goes to therapy vs. one that doesn't. it let's me know that they understand that there is always room for improvement, and that they believe in the power of therapy themselves. you don't have to be in an active mental health emergency to seek therapy, and with the things these doctors see and hear from their patients sometimes I'm sure they need to speak with somebody confidentially instead of compartmentalizing it and keeping it inside them
On one hand, yes he needs to be held accountable. On the other hand, I struggle with suicidal ideations, major depression, self harm and I genuinely love my therapist and my psychiatrist, I would go to war for these ladies, cause I know they would go to war for me. I live in a country, where mental health isn’t taken as seriously as in the US, so apart from these two angels, most people in my life have always been like „Well if you’re that weak, you probably shouldn’t waste our time and you shouldn’t study here, work here etc.“. I remember when I was really struggling in my personal life, I asked the student aid at my university if I can take a year off or something, that lady straight up told me „Maybe working in McDonalds would be more suitable career for you“, my psychiatrist called that lady in her free time to fight for me and all of a sudden, I could take a year off.
One of the best notifications to recieve on you tube, I say one of the best because my other is crime weekly of course. You literally are my favourite here on you tube I remember when I first found you and you was still working and getting up super early to record before everyone woke up just watching you grow and expand is amazing and I just want to say Stephanie I appreciate you with every ounce of me not only for the continued great content but how you give the victims of each and every case a voice. Sending you and your family love and hugs from the UK
Stephanie, I want you to know that nothing can stop me from watching your videos! I'm in my car charging my phone and watching your video! We have no power in the house, and my town will have to be rebuilt. But you're video made me so happy. For a moment I could just relax and drink some coffee with you. Rebuilding starts tomorrow, so this relaxation is much needed before I throw myself at helping clean up my town. 😊
Honestly, my heart breaks for the young man and how his sick twisted perverted cousin used him.
I have my Master's degree in psychology. I can't help but question everyone in your videos ( I'm not legally able to Dx) I listen to each person's personality. Someone who suffers from bipolar disorder is agonizing to watch. Medications take a lot of trials before finding the right one. The side effects can sometimes be worse feeling at the beginning. So many stop taking it. Watching a person go from Manic to stimulating behavior to not talking & lashing out is scary. For all person's around. I am bipolar. It took years to find the right Medications. I started psychology to understand myself better. I have more hyper behavior than anger. Anger scares me; for example if someone doubts me or I feel belittled. Instead of just ignoring it; I've said things I never even intended to. It's a very disturbing feeling. Because I try to be kind to all. My worst fear is losing control. I've seen many go off the deep end & truly hurt people. (Physically, mentally) bipolar disorder is brought on by trauma. Be careful who you let in your life, and know your worth. I pray you all have a beautiful day. Much love ❤️
Wow I kind of understand you.currently going through a deep depression. Can’t be bothered to get out of bed. Certain people trigger me, over silly things. ❤❤ I have not yet learnt to ignore them. Not violent just reactive via texts. I feel super sensitive. 😢😮
@@sianbeecham2825 block 🚫 them from your life! Don't let someone live rent-free in your head ✨️! Much love ❤️!
Some bipolar is traced to trauma, not all. I have no trauma, neither does my sister and we both have bipolar. We have other family members who also have bipolar. It is frequently attributed to genetics.
I cannot tell you how relieved I was that Michael didn’t die! Oh, and umm…Stephanie…that broad is a lunatic! She absolutely should be in prison, but 11 years is not nearly enough!
I feel sorry for Jacob, and I hope he’s getting the right kind of help.
Fantastic job (as usual) relaying this story. No one, and I mean no one, has your talent for writing . 💗
While pursuing therapy for my mothers passing I could not find a plausible therapist. They are sooooo broken and psychotic.
Totally one has to be very careful some have more hangups than my closet haha and should be far more upfront about it Lucy letterby was molly mollycodled by other professionals when she was clearly unwell !!!
Among nurses, it is not a joke, but a dearly held belief that being in the mental healthcare field will eventually drive you from a provider to a consumer just from repeated exposure to the clientele and their problems. Scarily, it is very rare to find a mental health nurse that is not more than a little off.
I am a nurse and worked on an inpatient Psych unit 45 years ago. I moved from the unit because of the problems of the psychiatrists-one was a pedophile who abused adolescents on the unit, one was an alcoholic, one was using heavy recreational drugs and sometimes fell asleep during patient rounds!!
Please tell me you did the right thing and had them investigated? As a mandated reporter and all..
As a mental health professional, I know many of us still regularly go to therapy ourselves. We all have inner battles and we have all suffered trauma in our lives, including therapists, social workers, psychiatrists, and mental health nurses. You can’t do what we do and remained completely unscathed emotionally. But, I absolutely agree that a mental health professional should be as emotionally healthy as they can possibly be.
In fact you would be the best guides for those who are lost because you cannot guide someone out of a place you have never been. You are valuable to the world. Thankyou for your work. All of you.
Very interesting case! Thank you Stephanie 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Would you consider talking about Ana Walshe in my own state of Massachusetts? She’s still missing but given the evidence they found it sounds just tragic… and her husband is the creepiest of the creeps 😫 would be huge if you shed a light on her case. Maybe someone saw something and can give a tip just from seeing your video ❤ please consider and wonderful job on this case
Im from mass too!! Idk of you watch her but Annie Else on the channel 10 to life covered that case. 10 to life and Stephanie Harlowe and this is monsters are my fav youtube channels. I work doing grubhub and doordash so i listen to all 3 channels every single day lol.
Ps im in worcester mass where in mass are you from?
This would be a great Crime Weekly News!!
You can email case suggestions
@@Karaxxleexx90 was just about to suggest 10 to life👍
@@JessMUA oooh good idea, I’m sure that’s a much better way to get my request seen. Not sure why I didn’t think of that myself 🤔 thank you
'Moving TOWARDS their mental health wholeness' says it all. Just because they are professionals doesn't mean they can fix all their issues before they show up to work. A lot of their issues are BECAUSE of the work they do and they also need someone to talk things out with.
I watch all her crime channels. Love that you and Derrick came up with the crime weekly news. Can't wait for the deep dive on the Idaho murder...
Okay so I had to come back to this video because it’s sponsored by native, I’ve been watching you for years and been hearing you talk about native for a long time. So when I went to Walmart a few months ago and seen native products on the shelf I decided to grab a couple deodorants. And with my hidradenitis suppurativa I’m hesitant to try new deodorants. And I must say my HS has never been more stable and I’ve never smelt more good!! This deodorant is amazing and changed my life. Thanks for the recommendation Stephanie ❤❤
Hunkering down after the first day of my first big girl job with a Stephanie video ♥️♥️
Nothing like listening to my favorite True Crime content creator while playing my favorite online game (Toontown Rewritten). Thank You Stephanie for making these videos!!!
Stephanie watching you pulling at your neck and shoulders just breaks my heart. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have nonstop pain in my neck and shoulders. And lately it's travelling to my knees. I had my medical marijuana card but let it lapse. I do have a non narcotic pain reliever from my Internist which is better than nothing. Anyway, I literally feel your pain 💜
I’ve been dying lately! I didn’t realize I was being that obvious about it! 😨 the muscle pain is real these days!
@@StephanieHarlowe Perhaps the cold weather makes it worse? I live in PA and the weather has been miserable this week, definitely making me worse.
Feel better soon 💜
I have suffered with it for 36 years.
Get off sugar, do keto diet,
Do workout classes in the water.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
@@dr.tamaraworley6174 Yes these things can give temporary relief. And who am I to argue with a Dr? 🤔 But it isn't always possible to follow special diets or workouts. And even when you can, it's but a temporary fix. I know Stephanie has a young son and a very important job that takes up the majority of her days I imagine. In a perfect world we could focus on doing all the things that give us temporary relief. But as this world is hardly perfect, and getting crazier by the day, we do what we can WHEN we can. I do appreciate your suggestions 💜
@Violent Femme, I totally hear what youre saying... and also, it may seem like temporary relief, but it truly is cumulative, so the more often a person can build a routine that incorporates regular gentle movement (esp water since no impact!), the better humans feel... thats all evidence based... but I also hear you that sometimes it can feel impossible to work into am alrwady impossibly busy routine. I guess im saying all of those points can be true... activity does help, AND its hard to work it in, AND also, results are proven to be FAR more than temporary and i wish our culture was better at supporting their human resources (thats US!) by allowing us to live lives where being comfortable in our bodies by getting the movement we need IS the priority.
Love your theme song, I replay opening often. Love videos, always informative & very professionally delivered. Then, get entertained with the closing theme song. Thanks, Stephanie!
Stephanie, just reminding you that your work is incredible. You are so much more thorough than everyone else that I have started rewatching your stuff instead of seeing anyone else's!
It’s the hand motions for me 😂 I just love you so much!
Love this video. I think the outcome is just. I remember feeling so bad at the time that Pamela wasn't held accountable. But your impersonation of the imagined Pamela Buchbinder pretending to be super respectable was so funny!🤣 Thanks so much for the update.
Right?!? 😂😂 I could totally picture it hahaha I love it when she passive aggressively impersonates people 😂😂
We’ve recently had a little girl in Oklahoma go missing, Athena Brownfield… and the stuff that keeps coming out about the parents (I think parents everyone keeps calling them caregivers)…. There’s more every day. Today the police just released they think the dad(or male caregiver??) killed her and buried her but they still haven’t found her…
RUclips slacking on notifications but it's okay I felt a stephanie post in my bones ☕️
As a person you’re never done healing. It’s okay for a healthcare provider to seek mental health care due to taking on other people’s burdens.
THIS brings a new meaning to "AFTERNOON DELIGHT"...Going to end my day at work listening to my favorite TRUE CRIME storyteller🙋🏿♀️🙏🏿🙌🏿
lol- afternoon delight is about sex!
@@anonymousadult LOL, that's why I said it brings "a NEW meaning" to "AFTERNOON DELIGHT"! But if you're an Arrested Development fan, it's ANOTHER meaning!!🤗 But the feeling I get from this channel COULD equate to the original meaning. 🤷🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
@@analog-dEVA hahahaha this comment will really help to weed out the people who haven't seen Arrested Development 😂
@@Hollylovesgreen 🙌🏿🤘🏿
@@analog-dEVA yes, I’m old- I think of the original song in the 70’s, my teen years ✅
I never get notifications for you and I always have the bell on. You don’t show up in my recommended on my page or subs either even though I binge your content throughout my working day. RUclips is a cruel mistress to you. .. this was a wild case.
There was an awful murder recently in Taqueria Texas.
was it the robbery?? that’s the only one i’ve heard of recently :(
@@fx4426mIt was the one where the bald 46 year old guy heinously murdered a good man named Eric Washington in cold blood. I’m literally witnessing a murder caught on camera.
I wonder how the innocent customers out enjoying tacos felt having this poor innocent victim point a gun in their faces and rob them. You think maybe THEY are the real victims? Or perhaps the owner of the restaurant having his place of business on the news as the location of a shooting and robbery??? Sorry, it’s a sad thing the robber was killed but he should have thought twice about robbing people, Jesus. Lots of people are struggling financially and they don’t point real or fake guns at strangers and steal from them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. ETA: we clearly have different definitions of what a “good man” entails.
I agree with you, Stephanie. I'm glad they were both held responsible, but I don't understand how this case went on for so long with Jacob being able to go back to Florida, etc. When you were talking about the psychiatrist 'joke', here is my take on it. I'm in the mental health field and I've always heard it said "A counselor always needs a counselor of their own" because the stuff we hear about and are exposed to can get heavy. We can't go home and talk to our significant other about our individuals we serve, so another professional would be able to talk with you in confidence and help you walk through things that bother you.
Thank you for covering these stories! I love it when they're 'solved' and I believe the right people were taken down. The Susan Powell story still bothers me to this day. Wish they could find her just to give the family some closure.
It’s not coffee and crime time without “SHES LIKE A SICKNESS IN MY BRAIN”
I LOVE when you cover cases that I am not familiar with. (This goes for Crime Weekly too!) 👏🏼
Thank you Stephanie, for your amazing & well researched (per usual) content. Speaking for myself & others (I’m sure); We are so grateful for you! ♥️
Excuse me… ma’am… why haven’t you wrote a book or gone on tour?!? You are absolutely freaking AMAZING!!! Your attention to detail is insane, literally nothing gets past you Girlll, hand to god it doesn’t matter what kind of mood im in im ALWAYS super thrilled to watch your videos! I wish you were my BFF (not trying to be creepy) you should come to Jersey, im sure you have hundreds of thousands of friends ( or ppl who want to be your friend) i bet your a blast to hang out with!!! Im about to be 40, going out sounds awful i like to hang out at home binge watch documentaries & snacks is a good time lol (NOT KIDDING) seriously you are an amazing speaker I absolutely love your videos! ❤❤❤ thank you for all you do for us!!
I absolutely HATE when parents put their kids in the middle.. I personally went through that as a kid and now I’m a step mom and I always assure my stepson how loved he is and that I will never replace his mom, I’m the bonus mom LOL
The fact that, after stabbing Michael six or seven times, Michael only needed stitches and was then released from hospital, tells me Jake was not the ferocious killer Pamela had hoped she'd groomed him to be. I can't believe she took advantage of Jake's impressionable nature, AND expect the insurance payout. There were flaming arrows pointing at her from the start.
So happy to see a video today. Discovered you about a year ago, and you have made me happier and my life a little better. Thank you! ❤
Awww that makes me so happy! Thank you!
Both guilty, and beyond that - it's hard to assign guilt on a scale. You're the best, Stephanie! Proper superstar!✨❤️☕
Stephanie, if you put your foamed milk in the cup first and let it settle (have the hot milk and the foam separate with a cleanish line) and then pour your espresso shot into the cup, you'll get a cool 3-layer coffee: white foam, black coffee, white milk. ;)
that's literally how i made my coffee about an hour ago lol except I added ice to the foamed milk prior to pouring the espresso and obviously used cold instead of hot milk :) I think one would call this a "latte macchiato"
Native really should hire you as their marketer lmao you’re the reason I first tried them and I have repurchased multiple times since.
Ready to get into this while I start cleaning up. So much laundry, but now I have something intriguing to focus on. Thank you for always serving the best education while seamlessly being entertaining but also maintaining respect to the Vic or survivor, and all involved. But also givin the much deserved sass every now and then. Thank you for always giving us 5 star work. Love you Steph. 😎
Best way to laundry! I’m with you today. 😊
I got such Pamela Smart vibes how you were explaining how she treated Jake . Big time!
Me listening during work - Stephanie "my apartment smells of rich mahogany", Me - literally spits out coffee laughing so hard!! The accuracy of the stereotype is spot on!!! Love it!!
Watching her make coffee gets me pumped for the episode every time. I know not the only one that sings along
Great video as always.
And I think she should have gotten more time in prison.
She was a psychiatrist who took advantage of the mental fragility of a client to kill her husband.
And the only thing she got was 11 years and a loss of a license to practice in New York?
Man our justice system is so broken.
The idea of letting a disturbed teen on medication taking care of your 4 year old is disturbing to begin with. This coming from someone who has married to a person who I used to love with all my heart and who has a serious mental illness. I tried EVERYTHING to help him, including involuntary commitment, and still had to end it after 10 years and a half. And we have no kids.
I love your rants SOOOO much! Picturing a therapist schooling me on how to control my impulses while they plan a murder, that was hillarious. And now my favorite defense that i really want someome to try to use is that their house "smells of rich mahogony". Did the crazy rich south carolina Murder family (murder... Murdock? Murdaugh!) use the "mahogony defense"? Snort.
I am a lawyer and have spent a good amount of time in family court. A life insurance policy is standard when there’s child support and/ or alimony
For a family member to provide therapy sessions is a conflict of interest and isn't allowed.
Stephanie is plain AMAZING!!! I love how she tells every detail and her personality is just perfect!!!
Your opening clip seriously got me through some hard stuff. I would watch your coffee and crime times while I was getting sober and I made a delicious cup of coffee every time I watched you. I crave coffee when I hear your opening song. I love your voice and the hard work you are doing!
That's the Pavlov Effect of Classical Conditioning
Congratulations on your sobriety Emily! Take care of yourself ❤
I can smell freshly grounded coffee everytime I watch this intro 😂☕
Haven’t gotten into the story yet but I just wanted to say, as a barista, it makes me happy to see how extensive your coffee routine and set up is. Makes me proud.
Sorry, this is a little off topic but I love the opening credits of your video, I find it strangely satisfying. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial type video showing step by step process of making the coffee in your intros. They could rival the big brand coffee chains. would be nice to know the type of coffee machine you use . You make the process look intricate but easy at same time. i want to elevate my home making coffee skills to the next level. i feel like i have written a thesis on coffee. love your main channel and crime weekly.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the intro song? Idk how but it fits S.H. so well. Addicted to her videos!!
I feel like both can exist at the same time. You can joke about not being mentally stable while working towards it. I dont believe there is a fix, or a whole you aim for. Its about learning how to live your best life while dealing with these things in a healthy manner
Stephanie, you have quickly become one of my favorite channels. Keep at it! You were made to do this and are so thorough and respectful.
There are just so many levels of power imbalance in that relationship. Jake was nothing more than the weapon Pamela chose to wield. I feel for both Jake and Michael.
Okay. Please... forgive me, because this has nothing to do with how wonderful I think you are or how passionate you are bringing awareness to unjustice !!
BUT I'm Obsessed, OBSESSED... with your lip color !!!
PLEASE... share what it is 💋
Oh and p.s. I just ordered a huge order of Native a few days back. I can't wait to use it ❤
Re: Them laying in bed together, It sounds like as a 19 y/o essentially under her care who also grew up with his cousin already 20 years older than him, he may have viewed her as a motherly/aunt figure. I would lay next to my mom or aunt without issue bc it's just maternal, you know? But I'm sure she was using that familial connection to manipulate him by being so emotionally 'romantic' with him. Creating that closeness/trust on both levels.
41:02 I said it out loud, at exactly the same time as you! It 100% reminded me of Susan Powell.
That kid shouldn't have been left with her, she could've attempted or be successful in killing him as a form of "revenge" and her attempt at killing the father of the child failing.
I'm sorry steph. I couldn't listen to Casey Anthony bs story without stabbing my eyes and ears with a knitting needle. Love to you and fellow listeners. Happy new year to you all.
Same...couldn't go there....🤮
I did, but I don't have any knitting needles in the house either.
Spoiler alert: she's still a lying piece of work.
Rest assured she mopped the floor with that b!
You are not alone🤢🤮. Why would any production company pay someone for them just to lie? Trying to make that POS at to be a loving doting parent. IMO I think CA mur---- Caylee BC she was jealous of the love & attention Caylee was getting (how effing sick) & she wanted to hurt her parents. BC if was no need to take Caylee to any "babysitter." I'm pretty sure Cindy & George would have gladly watched Caylee when CA went to her fake job.
I know someone got rid of information about CA on the internet. She loved Caylee so much! Couldn't have been that much she tossed Caylees ashes in the trash? The matching necklaces Cindy got made with some of Caylee's ashes. It was all over the internet a few years ago. Anything dealing with her throwing Caylee away for the 2nd time has vanished! She is beyond disgusting, disturbing, deviant, vindictive, sadistic & Sheer evil!
It makes my blood run cold that this woman was a psychiatrist and that people trusted her with their mental health.
it is extremely unethical to counsel a family member so thats the first problem that should have never been allowed
Hi, Stephanie! Hope you're doing great! Thank You! Just started this, and it's already very Disturbing!
It is good for mental health professionals to have their own therapists. It’s quite a lot to shoulder this type of work, helping other people. Burn out is real, and sometimes CISD is needed if there are extremely difficult cases. This does not explain or excuse this therapists behavior. Her actions were completely unhinged.
I found this channel a few weeks ago and still trying to watch all the videos because I love them all!! Thank you for all your hard work and care you put into every video!
I am so glad you found me!
Welcome!!! You are now addicted!!
One of Stephanie’s fav saying goes something like this
You have to go back to the beginning to understand the story
I encourage you to start back even at the skin care/beauty (if those are still out there). No matter what Stephanie has done, she puts her all into it!!
Native has seriously good deodorant. I highly recommend. I detoxed off all deodorant at the beginning of the pandemic for 6 months. After 6 months I introduced aluminum free deodorant and had a lot of duds before finding Native. Highly recommend. Gonna try some new scents. 😚
The reason mental health workers see someone is because of the high amount of burn out and to keep them sane. Imagine listening to others’ problems all day 5 days a week, for years and you can’t discuss them with anyone because of privacy issues. It is a recipe for disaster if the workers’ mental health isn’t taken seriously.
The justice system dropped the ball with Pamala imho. It took them way to long to arrest her.
Love how you dig in on all the main characters in your videos!
