Why Free Speech Is Essential For Mental Health

Listen to this episode from The Dr. Phil Podcast on Spotify. What if suppressing your voice was destroying your mental health? Dr. Phil and Dr. Chloe reveal why free speech may be the key to healing America.   Dr. Phil sits down with clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Chloe to explore how speech suppression, cancel culture, and emotional constipation are quietly fueling anxiety, depression, and division in America. Dr. Chloe's new book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, argues that free expression isn’t just a political issue, it’s a mental health necessity. In this powerful and practical conversation, Dr. Chloe breaks down how self-censorship leads to stress, why open dialogue builds emotional strength, and what every parent, student, and leader needs to know to push back against the fear of saying the “wrong” thing.
