In this important conversation, therapist and creator Joe Nucci — author of Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths and Why They Keep Us Stuck — joins Megan to unpack some of the most misunderstood ideas in mental health.
Together, they explore how the language of healing has evolved online, why “everything is trauma” thinking can oversimplify our humanity, and how self-awareness helps us distinguish between who we became to survive and who we truly are.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Is this my personality, or my trauma response?” — and who’s ready to move beyond the labels to a more compassionate, nuanced understanding of themselves.
