“Who taught ya’ll gaslighting and narcissist and all that?” -Saucy Santana

Therapy speak– prescriptive language describing certain psychological concepts and behaviors– has made its way out of our therapy sessions and into our everyday conversations and it’s causing more harm than you think. If you find yourself throwing around terms like triggered, trauma bond and gaslight like it’s nobody’s business- today’s episode is for you!

In this episode we:

Discuss the pros and cons of therapy speak in our everyday lives 

Provide insight on commonly misused mental health terminology vs their actual meaning

Share our personal experience with therapy speak usage in our romantic relationships 

And much more!
