The Rise of Therapy Speak: Are We Overusing Mental Health Language?

In the latest episode of Healthwise, we dive into the growing trend of "therapy speak"—the use of clinical terms like "trauma response," "boundaries," and "gaslighting" in casual conversations. While these words are rooted in mental health, their overuse and misapplication can dilute their meaning. We explore how to find balance and suggest creative ways to communicate feelings and experiences without relying on therapeutic labels. Join us as we discuss the importance of mindful language and how to foster deeper, more meaningful connections.
