Full Instagram-Therapy Checklist PDF:

http://sumoflife.org/portfolio/

Ever wonder why you don't actually feel better after sharing that post that was supposed to make you and others feel good? Ever self-diagnose yourself into having Anxiety or Depression? Did you ever stop to think that maybe you don't have to call all your bad experiences "traumatic"? 

If any of this sounds familiar to you, then I'm sorry, but you've probably found yourself in the realm of Insta-Therapy accounts. They've welcomed you into the world of short-term feel-good posts, self-diagnosing, and the constant bombardment of advertising. It really is too bad that they couldn't help you in the long term. 

But wait... what's that? Omg, a podcast episode that outlines things to look out for when following these accounts??? A miracle! 

-------

Obviously, the above sentences are meant to be in jest, but these accounts really do frustrate me. I'm here to offer a different approach to mental health and the mental health community. We need to stop filling our minds with short-term feel-good & relatable posts and actually try to understand what will make us feel better in the long run. 

I offer one thing to move closer to that goal: an Instagram-Therapy Checklist. With this checklist, I hope to help people recognize why Insta-Therapy accounts might actually be making mental health conditions worse. What's that old saying? The road to hell is paved with good intentions? Yeah, I think that's it. Although, I'm not sure of all of these accounts acting out in good intentions...

Anyways, this is the beginning of the journey, folks! Follow me along this path of debunking and exposing Insta-Therapy accounts if you're interested!

In this episode, I made and read such a silly poem about Instagram Therapy Accounts and the posts that they make. It's very silly lol, but I'm really looking forward to my new season, so I hope you guys are excited about that! Lastly, I hope you enjoy:)
