Episode 127 | Mental Health Misinformation on Social Media with Jacquelyn Tenaglia, LMHC

In today's episode of Psych Talk, I chat with Jacquelyn Tenaglia, LMHC all about mental health misinformation on social media. Jacquelyn is the "No BS Therapist" on social media where she uses her platform to call out mental health misinformation that she sees. Jacquelyn discusses her journey on social media as a consumer as well as what inspired her to create content herself. We cover a variety of areas that commonly include misinformation including trauma, ADHD, and pop psychology. We discuss the oversimplification and black and white nature of social media posts and why they are so attractive to consumers. We discussed the increase in self-diagnosis of mental health conditions based off social media content and how that can be both helpful and harmful. We also discuss how most content on social media is for a specific group of individuals and how to be a discerning consumer of mental health information on social media.Connect with Jacquelyn:IG: @no.bs.therapistTwitter: @TweetATherapistWays to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdFollow me on Youtube Welcome to Group Therapy PodcastJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughIntro/Outro Music:Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic LicenseAwakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, M.Th., LPCExperience Awakening....Relaxing into your Being and, therefore, Happiness.
