In this episode, we react to Scientology and the Aftermath Season 1, Episode 8, which dives into the Church of Scientology’s troubling stance on mental health and its aggressive tactics against journalists. We discuss how Scientology views psychiatry as an enemy, the harmful impact this has on members who need real help, and the shocking stories of reporters who were stalked and harassed simply for trying to expose the truth. As we share our insights, we connect these patterns to what we’ve seen in other high-demand groups—where control, fear, and silencing critics often take priority over helping people.

If you’ve ever wondered why Scientology is so hostile toward psychiatry and the press, this conversation will shed light on both.
