Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly

By Dr. Chloe Carmichael

(Endorsed by Dr. Drew Pinsky)

Speak freely—it's good for you!

If you’re like 84% of Americans, you think self-censorship and cancel culture are serious issues. You may feel like you’re not free to speak your mind, or you worry that you’ll be alienated for expressing your opinions. This can lead to self-censorship and feeling like people don't know the authentic, real you. 

Dr. Chloe courageously exposes the capture of psychology and the implications for our patients. There are dangers to patients and caretakers self censoring. There are dangers to limiting speech and Dr. Chloe points out the consequences. Psychologists are fearful of asking the most basic question including simply, "How do you feel?"  Freedom to use words, freedom to maintain abject honesty, freedom to express emotions spontaneously are essential to the development of self efficacy and resilience and mental health. Dr. Chloe points out that words are not violence but they are the fundamental instruments of the mental health professional and there must be liberty in their use on behalf of our patients.

Free speech has been examined through countless political lenses- but rarely through the lens of mental health. Can I Say That?, Dr. Carmichael breaks new ground, offering a clinical, yet accessible exploration of free expression as a psychological and emotional issue. With a nonpartisan approach and a grounding in mental health research and experience, this book reframes the debate as not just political- but deeply human.

As a clinical psychologist and mother, I’m deeply concerned about masking children. Although I’m speaking from a psychology perspective rather than an infectious disease perspective, it may be a helpful backdrop to know that The New York Times reports that children have a greater risk from car rides than from covid.

Free speech debates often focus on the mental health risks of bullying and hate speech- but they rarely consider the mental health benefits of freedom of expression. As a clinical psychologist, I believe that open dialogue outshines top-down censorship for those seeking wellness, authenticity, and growth.
