Have you had success with actually getting people off SSRI’s? I recently had a friend who slowly weaned off them under the supervision of a naturopath. She did ok at first but then began to spiral, struggled to sleep, etc. so she was put back on them. It was quite discouraging for me to see as I have been trying to get my husband to consider weaning himself off or down to a low dose. There does seem to be an addictive mechanism as Midwestern Doctor has discussed in his substack.
Thank you for explaining Experiential Avoidance. Now I get it, especially when it comes to food. When on a weightloss program, I just don't want to experience an empty stomach. For me, a full stomach has always been my goto to sedate my emotions. Eye opening!
