In this episode, we’re unpacking how therapy has changed in the age of TikTok, and what all the online advice is really doing to our understanding of mental health. Alayna is joined by Gabriel Ray-Contreras, who is a former medical doctor turned counsellor, educator, and podcaster. Together they explore how trauma is talked about, the rise of “Insta-therapy,” and how to know when it’s time to question the advice you’re seeing on your feed.
Some questions covered:
Is TikTok helping or hurting our understanding of mental health?
What’s the difference between a trauma response and a trauma disorder?
How do we know if a therapist is the right fit, or potentially doing harm?
What does it mean to be a trauma informed counsellor?
