Can I Say That? Free Speech, Self-Censorship, and Mental Health with Dr. Chloe Carmichael

May 27, 2026

In this episode of The Therapy Show, I’m joined by Dr. Chloe Carmichael, licensed clinical psychologist and author of Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly.

This episode is a portion of a larger continuing education course on free speech, self-censorship, open dialogue, and mental health. Dr. Chloe explores how language supports emotional regulation, problem-solving, self-efficacy, and authentic connection, and how chronic self-silencing may contribute to anxiety, depression, helplessness, groupthink, and weakened social support.

You’ll hear Dr. Chloe discuss why open dialogue matters clinically, how self-censorship can impact mental health, and why the ability to speak honestly and listen with resilience is an important part of relational well-being.
