It’s Both Good And Bad That More People Are Using Therapy Speak

Self-care, anxiety, boundaries, depression. These are just some of the mental health terms that many of us have gotten used to hearing and using in everyday conversations. It’s undeniable that mental health awareness has grown leaps and bounds, but are we talking about mental health so much now that it’s become meaningless? Joining me on the show today to talk about how we’re talking about mental health and how that is affecting people who are struggling with serious mental health disorders is clinical psychologist, Sarah Zehan.
