The Therapy Room - Weaponising Therapy Speak with Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

On this month’s episode of The Therapy Room we’re discussing the increasing use of therapy language such as gas-lighting, narcissism, boundaries and trauma in everyday conversations, and how they may be misused. 

Recently, Jonah Hill was accused of using the term boundaries to manipulate his ex-girlfriend and control her behaviour, in alleged messages she shared to her Instagram. Our experts Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates join us to discuss how damaging the abuse of therapy terms can be, breaking down what each term actually means and explaining how words have power, and we need to be aware of the language we use both inside and outside the therapy room.
