This was great! Ageing is one of those topics where thinking about it even just a little bit and sharing experiences with others goes a long way to making us way more lucid about it. The default usually is to never think about it unless forced! This book club feels safe & sparks interesting convos.

This week on Behind the Stigma Podcast🎙️, I spoke to @isernmas.bsky.social on their excellent paper 'Unmasking therapy speak' - what they describe as a superficial use of psychotherapy language. We spoke about what that means & its wider impact. Listen here:🤩 www.buzzsprout.com/1402324/epis...
New publication! ✨
Remember Jonah Hill asking Sarah Brady to stop modeling to respect his “boundaries”? Or an abusive boss recommending mindfulness after your complaints?
@almagro.bsky.social and I are now ready to tell you when and why therapy-speak might be wrong.
