Ever wonder why words like "trauma" and "triggering" seem to pop up everywhere online, often in ways that don't quite make sense? On the Toxic Cooking Show, we unravel the digital misuse of therapeutic language Lindsay McClain and co-host Christopher Patchet, LCSW. Together, promise to clarify these buzzwords, exploring how their meanings have shifted from professional therapy settings to casual internet chatter, a phenomenon we call "context creep." By the end of our chat, you'll have a much clearer understanding of these terms and their rightful place in mental health conversations.
Join us on an emotional journey as we break down the spectrum of human feelings, from everyday encounters to life-changing events like a lottery win. We dig into the controversial topic of trigger warnings, challenging common perceptions and sharing insights from studies that suggest these warnings might not be as helpful as they seem. Instead of simply labeling experiences, we advocate for a nuanced understanding of emotional responses, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the full range of human emotions without jumping to conclusions.
Boundaries are more than just buzzwords; they're essential for healthy relationships and personal growth. In our discussion, we navigate the tricky waters of boundary-setting, illustrating the fine line between control and self-care. From Jonah Hill's infamous boundary-setting in past relationships to the complex trauma narratives proliferating on social media, Christopher and I encourage listeners to question and understand the true meaning of these terms, pushing for personal accountability and informed mental health communication. Prepare to rethink what you know about therapy speak and come away with a fresh perspective on how we talk about mental health in the digital age.
