What if everything you believe about mental health is wrong? In this episode, host Paula Felps chats with psychotherapist and author Joe Nucci about his myth-busting new book, Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths & the Truths to Set You Free.

- How social media can distort mental health conversations (and what to watch out for).
- The difference between emotional intelligence and just “sounding like a therapist.”
