Why social media is NOT therapy

For this week's episode, Emily is joined by Dr. Jessica Radon, a clinical psychologist, TikToker and podcast host to discuss why social media is NOT therapy and how you can optimize content to improve your mental health. Dr. Jess creates mental health content on TikTok and Instagram and hosts a podcast, Psych Talk, with the goal of making mental health more accessible and relatable, and destigmatizing mental health. She focuses her work on depression, anxiety, chronic medical illnesses, LGBTQ+ health, and eating disorders and has published several peer-reviewed research papers and a book on topics such as suicide, self-compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness. With all the information thrown at us daily, it can be challenging to determine what is right and wrong and more importantly what is best for our individual needs. Tune in to learn about how you can optimize your mental health and determine what is best for you without falling deep into the negative traps of social media.
