>As a shaman, her track record can't be worse than the average psychiatrist

this is absurdly anti-science and pro-pseudo science POV.

'group shamanic energy clearing' and selling 'spiritual medicines' is absurd than a psychiatrist following clearly debated, adjudicated, well-researched cited scientific procedures.

This is not the most horrible of things, but I have a feeling some people would defend GNOME foundation even if they started chucking babies in the air.

To be fair, all science is not equal.

Psychology is basically ground zero for the replication crisis. There's been an insane amount of bunk coming out of that and adjacent fields for decades. When only 20-30% of published findings in a field can be replicated, there's problems.
