Welcome to Therapist Uncorked! I'm so happy you're here.

In today’s episode, we’ll be diving into commonly misused therapy terms that I’m sure most of us have heard before. We’ve all used words incorrectly before, so this is not intended to shame anyone. I’ve done it too - I get it!
While I LOVE that more and more people are seeking therapy, something I’ve noticed over the last few years is “therapy speak” is often misused incorrectly, even if unintentionally. Using these types of terms is super common, and I love that for us! This means that we’re trying to understand ourselves and those around us, which can be super helpful. BUT, using these terms incorrectly is not only confusing, but it can actually be harmful to those who are TRULY experiencing these things. Misusing them can minimize the very real mental health struggles that others are facing, even if that’s not the intent. Without further ado, let’s dive into it!
