About this episode
Is the popular use of "therapy-speak" a sign of progress or a potential pitfall? Trauma therapist and RockEd co-founder Gang Badoy joins Philstar Life columnist Angel Martinez and PumaPodcast editor-at-large Jaemark Tordecilla to discuss the perks and dangers of pathologizing everyday phenomena.
They discuss terms like "narcissist," "trauma," "gaslighting," and "bipolar," differentiating their clinical definitions from their colloquial use.
Gang emphasizes the importance of accurate language in mental health discussions and offers insights on identifying genuine disorders versus normal human experiences, and how to set healthy boundaries.
