Therapy Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with Lori Gottlieb)

There's some crazy mental health advice online. Sometimes you can scroll across a little nugget that helps your anxiety or depression or changes the way that you approach life, but a lot of what is out there is BS. So today, I am joined by the absolutely iconic Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and bestselling author of one of my all time favorite books, to rank therapy advice from the internet from the superior advice to the advice you should ignore. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • The one question that separates helpful therapy advice from social media nonsense • The real meaning of boundaries • How to navigate family estrangement without torching relationships that could be saved • Why saying your anxiety is a "superpower" isn’t helpful and what to do instead • The sneaky reason you keep dating the same disappointing people over and over • How being a bully to yourself prevents long-term change • Why insight without action kills personal growth Check out the previous ranking advice from social media episode: “Money Advice: Ranking Best & Worst From Social Media (with HerFirst100K)” For more from Lori Gottlieb: • Book, Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: https://lorigottlieb.com/books/maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone/ • Podcast, Since You Asked: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/since-you-asked-with-lori-gottlieb-and-gretchen-rubin/id1837981015 • Ask A Therapist Advice Column: https://www.nytimes.com/column/ask-the-therapist Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
