Episode 6: and Now for Something Completely Different
In this episode we delve into the complexities of mental health terminology and the impact of casual language on our understanding of mental health issues. We discuss the misuse of terms like trauma, narcissism, and gaslighting, and the importance of using accurate language in mental health discussions. Our conversation also touches on the role of social media influencers in shaping perceptions of mental health and the need for personal responsibility in seeking and sharing mental health information. We finish up with a slightly modified version of Four Square and of course, updates on our feline friends with Cat Chat
