What if we approached mental illness not with the question "what's wrong with you?" but with "what's happened to you?" instead? Dr. Weston Robinson challenges everything we think we know about psychiatric treatment in this paradigm-shifting conversation offering that people who may be sick are not broken.
His work stands in stark contrast to traditional models that over-pathologize and over-medicate, instead offering a humanistic vision that sees each person as whole and worthy. This perspective fuels his compassionate approach at Eternal Strength, his intensive outpatient program for adolescents and young adults, where the guiding principle is simple yet profound: "You're not broken."
Perhaps most powerful is his wife's insight that "the majority of the problems in the world would be solved if we could increase and sustain authentic empathy." In a field increasingly dominated by corporate interests and diagnostic labels, Dr. Robinson's message serves as a vital reminder that at its heart, mental health care should be about humans helping humans.
