Welcome to The Self-Conscious Club: The place for unconscious humans who want to heal 👋
Hi there. I’m Dr. Courtney Tracy, but most people know me online as The Truth Doctor. I’m a licensed therapist in Southern California, a renowned speaker, an award-winning mental health content creator with over 100 million video views, and the author of Your Unconscious Is Showing—and I’m a high-school sweetheart and a mom of two.
I’ve been featured in The New York Times, The LA Times, and over 50 other outlets globally for my ability to mix storytelling with emotionally meaningful education, and have it go viral.
Across platforms, I have an audience of over 2.3 million people—a community that continues to grow because people are looking for real conversations about mental health and being human.
And now, I’m here—on Substack. Nice to see you 🤠
Substack is my space is where I get to say what really matters—without constraints, without filters, no BS, just the truth.
What can you expect from Substack?
Free Subscribers:
By subscribing for free, you’ll have access to:
• My essays—stories from my life and the lessons I want to share with the humans who want to hear from me. These will be available to free subscribers for two weeks and will then enter into the archive.
• The Your Unconscious Is Showing podcast! 🎙️ After so many requests, I’m bringing it back—this time, on Substack.
• You’ll be notified when a new episode goes live.
Paid Subscribers:
By upgrading to a paid subscription, you’ll get:
• Exclusive essays with my personal takes on real-world events. For the first five years of my platform, I’ve held back from sharing my thoughts on specific people and situations because, honestly, I’m an extremely sensitive person. I don’t have the bandwidth for an audience that the algorithm randomly pushes my content to—especially when they aren’t the right people for these conversations. But if you’re here, you are the right people. And from what I’ve heard from those who’ve had exclusive access in the past, this is one of the most helpful things I offer. I’ll share snippets of opinions and perspectives on socials, but not like I will here.
• The ability to participate in the podcast chat and have a say in what we cover. Paid subscribers will be part of a private discussion space where we can talk about upcoming episodes, and you’ll have a direct influence on what Max and I discuss on the show.
• A sustainable way to support this work. This content is behind a paywall because I want it to be intentional, thoughtful, and shared only with people who truly support me.
Why subscribe?
Only paid subscribers can access the weekly podcast chat and exclusive, long-form real-world commentary essays.
