It's giving anxiety! - My Therapist Said

What this episode covers

Feeling overwhelmed by mental health content online? SAME. If you're drowning in a sea of Anxiety TikToks, OCD Instagram reels, and the pressure to read your 100th self-help book, this episode is for you. Stef is back this week, and we're diving into the idea of hyperfocus in mental health — how it shows up in therapy, in our personal lives, and all over your feed. As a therapist, Stef sees how anxiety, trauma, OCD, and more are often discussed in extremes, sometimes leading us to pathologize totally human experiences. Let's talk about releasing the constant self-diagnosis and remembering there's life beyond the DSM.

Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit TNA Drinks Podcast TNA Media Company Hey, we are the guys from the YouTube Channel TNA Drinks.
