Generations Ep. 04: The Perks and Pitfalls of Therapy-Speak with Gang Badoy Capati

الوصف

In this episode of Generations from PhilSTAR Life and PumaPodcast, trauma therapist and neuroscience research fellow Gang Badoy Capati joins PhilSTAR Life columnist Angel Martinez and PumaPodcast editor-at-large Jaemark Tordecilla in a conversation about the evolving language of mental health. Today’s Gen Z has embraced ‘therapy speak’ when they talk about their experiences, often using terms like ‘trauma,’ ‘narcissism,’ or ‘OCD’ in casual conversation. But is this a sign of progress—that they’re able to articulate their feelings—or have they been inadvertently invalidating the struggles of those with actual clinical conditions by using buzzwords? What happens when words lose their meaning? This episode was produced by Hannah Grace and engineered by Anthony Tobias. The Generations Podcast is executive produced by Sheila Paras of PhilSTAR Life and Roby Alampay of PumaPodcast.Read up on Angel's take on therapy-speak here.
