Maybe you’ve heard terms such as "narcissist", "gaslighting", and "toxic" in your own relationship, or when scrolling social media. These terms are overused and even weaponized leading to a breakdown in communication which is why we’re exploring the misuse of therapy jargon, differentiating between casual use and actual diagnostic criteria.
You’ll hear
- How certain terms, such as "narcissist," are often weaponized in relationships, leading to unproductive conflicts
- The nuances of trauma and triggers
- How to communicate boundaries without sounding like an ultimatum
- What alternative Melisa would use for “gaslighting”
