Listen "Episode 75: The Weaponizing of Therapy Speak, with Dr. Isabelle Morley"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Mind Tricks Radio, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Isabelle Morley to talk about her eye-opening new book, They’re Not Gaslighting You. We dive into the world of “therapy speak” gone wild—how words like narcissist, toxic, gaslighting, and OCD are being thrown around on social media and in relationships, often in ways that do more harm than good. Dr. Morley unpacks the real meanings behind these terms, why accuracy matters, and how over-pathologizing can wreck our connections with others. We also chat about setting boundaries, the impact of armchair diagnosing, and what rom-coms get hilariously wrong about relationships. Smart, insightful, and seriously refreshing—this is one you don’t want to miss.
