Hi, Fam!

#46 10 Ways THESE Phrases Are Hurting Your Family


Listen Later

Not everything is trauma. Not every disagreement is gaslighting. Not every meltdown is dysregulation. As therapeutic language becomes more mainstream, it's seeping into how we talk about everything — from parenting and marriage to how we see ourselves. But what if constantly labeling our family dynamics through a therapy lens is doing more harm than good? In this episode, I share 10 ways therapy-speak might be unintentionally hurting your family culture — from overdiagnosing normal struggles, to turning illness into identity, to undermining repair in relationships. Whether you're a parent, partner, or simply someone trying to build a healthier home life, this episode will help you reclaim your confidence, your connection, and your clarity — without the constant need for a label. 🔹 We'll talk about: • When labeling becomes disabling • Why therapy talk can weaken your instincts • How diagnostic language might hurt your marriage or your child • The risk of turning challenges into fixed identities • How to reconnect with your family's real culture — beyond pathologizing RESOURCES 🌱 Ready to reclaim your child's confidence through independent play?
