Join us as we sit down with Dr. Isabelle Morley, psychologist, couples counselor, and author of the groundbreaking new book "They're Not Gaslighting You: Ditch Therapy Speak and Stop Hunting for Red Flags in Every Relationship."  

 

Dr. Morley is here to help decode the "therapy speak" that has infiltrated our social media, relationships, and communication. Many of us are confused and misunderstanding what these terms actually mean. 

 

In this eye-opening episode, we discuss the truth about narcissism, gaslighting, and boundaries, cutting through the social media noise to reveal what these terms *really* mean. 

 

Discover why throwing around clinical diagnoses can be harmful and how genuine compassion can pave the way for healthier connections.  

 

Dr. Morley doesn't just diagnose the problem; she offers solutions. 

 

Learn how to spot real red flags (in yourself and others!), navigate the complexities of modern dating and relationships, and how Dr. Morley's book opens the door to meaningful conversations about "therapy speak."

 

Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on "therapy speak" so you can ditch the buzzwords and approach the world with your eyes wide open.
