124: The Red Flag Industrial Complex with Todd Baratz

Therapy speak is taking over everything including dating. This week therapist Todd Baratz joins us to talk about how anxiety got rebranded as discernment — and why knowing every term hasn't made a single one of us better at relationships.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Todd's call on which diagnosis goes viral next now that narcissism has had its run
* Why everyone is avoidant, and how you can't tell if you feel safe with someone when you show up guarded by 25,000 memes
* The reason insight feels like a solution when it isn't (and why collecting it is the same high as online shopping)
* Todd on why everything feels like a scam right now
* What Todd actually tells parents who ask him what to say when their kid asks about sex

You can follow Todd on Instagram @yourdiagnonsense. Find his work, including his book "How To Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind", online at toddsbaratz.com.
