Dr. Fred Moss: The “Un-Doctor”
Dr. Fred Moss, a distinguished graduate of Northwestern University Medical School, stands as a stalwart figure in the field of psychiatry, boasting a career that spans nearly four decades. His journey, marked by an unwavering commitment to redefine the landscape of mental health, has led him to become a trailblazer in advocating for a more human-centered approach to healing.
Initially drawn to psychiatry by the allure of exploring communication and human connections as primary tools for healing, Dr. Fred witnessed a paradigm shift in the 80s. A transformation within the medical community saw a shift towards diagnosing patients with biological and chemical imbalances, relying heavily on medications as the primary solution for life's distress. However, Dr. Fred, observing the potential harm caused by this approach, embarked on a groundbreaking mission to reclaim lives from the clutches of psychiatric diagnoses and medication.
In 2006, Dr. Fred pioneered a new methodology, working closely with a select group of patients who sought an alternative path to healing. Remarkably, these individuals not only improved but, in some cases, saw their diagnoses completely vanish. This success ignited a series of questions surrounding the very definitions of mental illness and mental health, laying the foundation for Dr. Fred's evolving methodology.
Dedicating his efforts to the Welcome To Humanity brand, Dr. Fred serves as a beacon of hope as a "non-diagnosing psychiatrist". His expertise extends to serving as an expert witness in psychiatric malpractice cases, shedding light on the often overlooked atrocities within nursing homes, hospitals, prisons, and jails.
A prolific author, Dr. Fred has penned "Creative 8: Healing Through Creativity & Self-Expression", delving into the foundational principles of his methodology. He is also the author of "Find Your True Voice!" and has contributed numerous articles to Psychology Today. His essay, "Global Madness, What Must Happen to Unite", earned him an award at the 2019 Conference for Global Transformation.
As the founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement, Dr. Fred is a mental health advocate, keynote speaker, podcaster, and teacher. His commitment to healing extends to courses such as the “True Voice” Course, designed to help individuals rediscover and express their authentic selves. “New Job, New Life” Course is where you learn that with a simple flip of context, this experience is often one of life's most extraordinary events, and can lead to a new sense of freedom, self-expression, clarity, and purpose. The recent addition, "Healing the Healer" Course, serves as a lifeline for transitioning healers seeking a profound realignment with their authentic selves.
Dr. Fred resides in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California, sharing his life with his dream partner, Alexandra, and three beloved cats— Valentino, Despacito, and Winston. As a father of two in Texas, Dr. Fred's personal and professional life intertwine, emphasizing the importance of authentic communication, creativity, and self-expression in the journey of healing.
In his own words, Dr. Fred believes that communication, connection, creativity, and self-expression are core to all healing, not just in mental health but in every aspect of life. His unwavering commitment to these principles shapes a legacy that continues to impact and transform lives, echoing the essence that, as we are, we are whole and perfect. Welcome to Humanity indeed, where love arises from authentic communication and truth-speaking.
At the heart of Dr. Fred's impactful work are three distinct podcast shows: Welcome to Humanity Podcast, Healthy Healer Podcast, and [IN]Sanity Podcast. Dr. Moss invites listeners to embark on profound journeys of self-discovery and intellectual exploration.
