Dr. Phil Rips 'Useful Idiots' Who Have Been 'Brainwashed' By Iran During Oct. 7 Commemoration Speech

Published October 6, 2026

Sometimes we use the language of strength to avoid acknowledging pain. But being strong doesn't mean you don't need help, and getting professional help doesn't mean you're weak. Being resilient doesn't mean you weren't damaged. Therapy can help. Appropriate medication can help. Faith, family, community, all can help. Routine can help. Just really getting sleep can help. Most importantly, you have to be honest with yourself. Refuse to be silenced. (14:53–14:57)
