Session 271: Being Mindful About How We Use Mental Health Terminology

Published: Aug. 17, 2022, 7 a.m.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

\\n

Over the past few years, you\\u2019ve probably found yourself online viewing and reacting to bite size pieces of mental health information. At times in an attempt to better understand ourselves and the world we live in, we digest and share pieces of information that we don\\u2019t fully understand or properly reflect our experiences. Take for example the terms trauma bonding, gaslighting, and narcissism. All terms that you\\u2019ve probably heard before, and maybe even used in your everyday life. But, are you using them correctly?\\xa0

\\n

Joining me today for another one of our Group Chat conversations are my friends and colleagues Dr. Ayana Abrams and Dr. Joy Beckwith, both psychologists in Atlanta. During our conversation we break down the definition of key terms we\\u2019ve noticed people using online and share suggestions on how to be more mindful around information online.\\xa0
