Rob and Dave take on the psychology of “concept creep,” the slow expansion of mental health terms into everyday life. Why is stress now called trauma, or conflict called bullying? This episode looks at how psychological language evolves, what gets lost when labels stretch too far, and how social media and generational shifts drive these changes. It’s a conversation about psychology, resilience, and the way we make sense of human struggles.
