Summary
Couch Talks is the spciela bonus episode of You Need Therapy where Kat usually answers questions that listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapy.com. This week, however, Kat is taking some time to talk about something that has been bubbling up in her psyche for some time now. After beginning to read the book, Cultish, by Amanda Montell– Kat started thinking more about how the language we hear on social media from “professionals” shapes the way we view our own health, well being, and experiences. THEN- she got hit with a new article from The New York Times that you can read HERE. In this episode you will hear Kat wrestle through some thoughts she has around the dangers (?) that exist when therapeutic information is shared in an attention grabbing curated way on social media.
