Could it be that today’s increased awareness about emotions, and our obsession with mental health issues, are actually causing **more** mental health issues? More people are doing therapy, but are those people potentially doing it wrong?
Therapist, counselor, and author Lori Gottlieb says that a lot of our culture’s approach to mental health is wrong.
In today’s podcast, we discuss what it takes to do therapy effectively. We discuss the prevalence of mental health content online and why that may be a bad thing. We talk about how people’s misunderstandings of vulnerability and boundaries can backfire. And we get into the effect social media might be having on this.
Enjoy.
Lori Gottlieb is a therapist, a couples counselor, and a bestselling author of the mega-hit “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone” which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.
