Today Maddy and Jennifer dive into the evolving culture surrounding mental health, wellness, and the ways we talk about our struggles. Together, they examine how social media and influencer culture have fueled the trend of pathologizing everyday emotions and labeling discomfort as illness, often overshadowing the real challenges of mental health. From the rise of “trauma talk” to labeling normal feelings as conditions, Maddy and Jennifer question whether we're losing sight of resilience and self-compassion along the way.
Key Takeaways:
- Mental Health Isn’t Always a Crisis: Not every uncomfortable emotion requires immediate intervention; sometimes, it's about learning to ride the wave.
- Labeling Pitfalls: The tendency to label everyday struggles as disorders can lead to a misunderstanding of what mental health treatment is really for.
- Social Media Influence: Understanding how influencer culture and viral trends impact our views on mental health and self-care practices.
- Coping Strategies vs. Wellness Overload: Why sticking to simple, sustainable routines can be more effective than following every wellness trend.
