Hi friends, it's Rosie here.

Welcome to Radio Headspace.

The other day, a friend sent me a reel on Instagram.

It was one of those bold, dramatic clips set to intense music.

You know the ones.

It had big letters that said something like,

this is why therapy doesn't work.

She texted me underneath and asked, is this true?

I had this moment where I was just staring at my phone thinking,

what are we even basing truth on anymore?

or someone who's maybe had a bad experience in therapy,

might watch that and think,

yep, that's the whole story.

And it got me thinking about something we're exploring in my research methods class

for my clinical psych

program. How do we actually know something is true? How do we move beyond hot takes and emotionally

charged headlines and get to something that's actually rooted in evidence, in context, in clarity?

In my class, we're taught to ask,

how was this claim tested?
