In Psychobabble, licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci argues that too many of us are self-diagnosing, improperly deploying therapy-speak, and even coaching others to engage in harmful activities under the guise of “self-care.”\nNucci dismantles 40 popular misconceptions, such as: Everyone needs to go to therapy. Your feelings are credible. People gaslight you when they disagree. Mindfulness is good for everyone. Everyone has trauma. The reason you can’t focus is ADHD.\n\nThis dangerous misinformation encourages well-meaning individuals to make consequential life decisions based on false beliefs, half-truths, and the advice of unlicensed armchair experts. It is time for a professional to call this out. Nucci replaces these myths with liberating truths that can help readers avoid misinformation, navigate important philosophical debates, and better maneuver their own mental health journeys. He shares client examples and evidence-based psychological theory, and draws from reputable studies and research.\nTikTok influencers and “life coaches” create viral videos telling people to cut off their problematic parents, and are cheered on by millions of followers. Recent divorcees proudly declare on Instagram that they are finally healing from their “narcissistic” ex-partner, even though you get the sense they can’t actually define that word. Teenage “mental health advocates” lament the struggles of living with autism, but then subtly add that their condition is “self-diagnosed.” It is time for a professional to call out the misinformation and absurdity.\nPsychobabble is a must-read book for anyone who values mental health and cares about others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063424622\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0063424622.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nucci  LPC, Joe\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
