I’m Vanessa Bentley, a licensed psychotherapist, host of "The Work of Being Human," and author of "The Toolbox." This channel is where you come for clear, honest thinking about mental health. We cut through the noise, call out bad ideas, and expose psychobabble for what it is. I break down the thinking behind what we’re told to believe—and question what doesn’t hold up. You’ll find podcast episodes, short-form insights, and real conversations designed to help you think clearly, face reality, and live with integrity. No denial. No excuses. And no building your life on ideas that aren’t true. Click subscribe.
