What if everything you believe about mental health is wrong? In this episode, host Paula Felps chats with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci about his myth-busting new book, Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths & the Truths to Set You Free. Joe dives into the wild world of mental health misinformation — especially the kind that spreads like wildfire on social media. From self-diagnosis pitfalls to the overuse of therapy-speak, he offers a refreshing reality check and empowers listeners to better understand their emotional lives.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why not every tough emotion equals a mental illness — and why that distinction matters.
• How social media can distort mental health conversations (and what to watch out for).
• The difference between emotional intelligence and just “sounding like a therapist.”
