Summary

This week Aleen's joined by Seerut Chawla (@seerutkchawla), a London based psychotherapist who focuses on Trauma Informed Therapy, who has a tough love approach to mental health advocacy on social media. Seerut shares her perspective on what therapy has become on Instagram aka the phenomenon she calls “insta therapy”, and examples of how to spot it. She talks about why she thinks it's not helpful or genuine and more on why you should avoid it. Then, Seerut defines what trauma actually is and explains why it's different than what you may think. This leads to a discussion of the downsides and potentially lasting effects of taking mental health advice that you get from social media too seriously and why it doesn’t replace seeking professional help. Finally, we end breaking down the DST confession topic of the week (hint: grab your popcorn). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
