Social media has turned therapy into a language that almost everyone seems to speak these days, which is why your feed is probably full of posts about topics like trauma, boundaries, and gaslighting. In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the rise of “therapy speak” and how, for better or for worse, it’s reshaping the way we talk about emotions, conflict, and relationships.
I am joined by <a href="https://joenuccitherapy.com/">Joe Nucci</a>, a licensed psychotherapist, writer, and social media influencer. His debut book, <a href="https://amzn.to/479LKgX">Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths & the Truth To Set You Free</a>, is available wherever books are sold.
Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include:
<ul>
<li>What are some of the problems with overusing therapy speak?</li>
<li>How is social media changing the way people think about and approach relationships?</li>
<li>What does the term &#8220;love-bombing&#8221; actually mean?</li>
<li>How do you know the difference between something like love-bombing and just moving fast in a relationship?</li>
</ul>
