Today I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Lesley Cook, who you might know as @lesleypsyd on TikTok. Lesley and I talk about what our evolving experiences have been, watching the groundswell of mental health and therapist social media explode throughout the course of the pandemic. We had a great time covering many fascinating angles, and we dig into these common questions for you:
- What are the challenges and benefits of consuming mental health content on social media?
- How can therapists ensure their online content is ethical and helpful?
- How can therapists support clients who are seeking a diagnosis for ADHD?
- How can therapists create a psychologically safe space for neurodivergent clients?
