¿Alguna vez has estado en una relación donde, sin darte cuenta, empezaste a sentirte culpable por todo, confundido sobre lo que piensas o sientes, e incluso dudando de tu propio valor?
En este episodio de Solo Tú, exploramos a fondo una figura silenciosa pero devastadora: el depredador emocional. No hablamos de alguien simplemente tóxico o conflictivo, sino de personas que utilizan el afecto, la culpa, la manipulación y el control como herramientas para dominar emocionalmente a otros.
Con la guía del Dr. Lauro Amezcua-Patino, psiquiatra y neuropsiquiatra, entenderemos cómo identificar a estas personas, cómo proteger nuestra salud mental y, sobre todo, cómo recuperar el poder personal cuando hemos sido víctimas de este tipo de abuso.
Un episodio fuerte, necesario y profundamente humano. Porque solo entendiendo el daño, podemos empezar a sanar.
Neurofeedback (NFB) is revolutionizing sports by enhancing athletes’ focus, decision-making, and stress management. Netflix’s Quarterback highlights NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins, who integrates NFB into his routine to optimize performance. By training his brain with tools like Myndlift and Muse, Cousins improves his focus, emotional resilience, and reaction time, all crucial for his high-pressure role. Supported by neuroscience, NFB is becoming a game-changing tool for athletes across various sports. Interested in exploring NFB for personal performance or adding it to your practice?

In this deep-dive episode, I explore the growing crisis in psychiatry: a critical shortage of providers, the rising influence of investor-driven enterprises, and the transformative yet complex role of artificial intelligence (AI). As a psychiatrist nearing retirement, I reflect on how these challenges are reshaping mental health care and what we must do to preserve the field’s core values of empathy and patient-centered care.
This episode covers:
• The Workforce Shortage: Why over 60% of psychiatrists are approaching retirement and how limited training pipelines, geographic disparities, and economic disincentives exacerbate the crisis.
• Investor-Driven Enterprises: How the prioritization of short-term profits impacts care quality, session times, and recruitment, with real-world examples of rushed care models and burned-out providers.
• The Promise and Pitfalls of AI: How AI tools can streamline diagnostics, improve access, and enhance treatment—but also risk reducing psychiatry to impersonal algorithms if misused in profit-driven systems.
• Solutions for the Future: Expanding residency programs, empowering advanced practice providers, leveraging telepsychiatry, and advocating for independent practices and ethical use of AI.
This is not just a conversation about the challenges—it’s a call to action. Whether you’re a provider, policymaker, or mental health advocate, join me as I unpack the complexities of psychiatry’s current landscape and envision a future where innovation and compassion go hand in hand. Together, we’ll explore how to balance profitability with care, technology with humanity, and build a system that prioritizes long-term impact over short-term gains.
Neuron-Connect and Metropolitan Consulting proudly present this new podcast—a deep dive into the invisible yet life-altering impact of closed head injuries. Hosted by an experienced psychiatrist, this episode explores the complexities of mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI), where standard imaging like MRIs and CT scans often fall short in detecting the real damage.
We discuss how clinical diagnoses, advanced tools like QEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalography), and cutting-edge therapies such as Neurofeedback (NFB) are reshaping how we understand and treat these injuries. Learn about the longitudinal nature of TBI, the limitations of conventional approaches, and how these innovations pave the way for better outcomes and clearer advocacy in legal and clinical settings.

This Podcast from Reverie Mind, a provider of ketamine therapy, explains how ketamine works as a treatment for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It differs from traditional antidepressants by acting on the glutamate system in the brain, promoting neural connections and increasing brain plasticity. Ketamine infusions allow patients to experience a dissociative state that helps reset the brain and break free from negative thought patterns. Although some clinics emphasize therapy during infusions, Reveriemind highlights that ketamine's primary benefit lies in its biological impact on the brain. While therapy can be helpful, it is not required for the treatment's efficacy. Following an infusion, many patients experience a window of enhanced emotional flexibility, allowing them to process emotions, cope with their condition, and find a sense of well-being. www.reveriemind.com
