Jeff Katzman, MD on Crosstalk Podcast: Rediscovering Genuine Connection in the Therapy Room
In this Crosstalk podcast, Is Your Therapist Listening? The Lost Art of Real Connection in Therapy, Jeff Katzman, MD, Director of the Silver Hill Academy for Research and Education, shares insights on the importance of human connection and belonging — gleaned from decades of clinical work and an unwavering interest in those around him. Dr. Katzman explains how loneliness carries stigma similar to substance use and why it often goes unspoken in therapy, medicine, and everyday life. He also discusses how modern technology, social media, and isolation quietly erode real human connection—and how loneliness can intensify addiction, mental health struggles, and relapse.
