Be mindful of stigmatizing language

“I like this podcast, but it can actually be really helpful when working on these themes to consult multiple professionals. The use of the term pathological is extremely controversial, and should really be reserved for people who are experiencing intense distress around a severe disorder. It’s also an incredibly stigmatizing term. What you’re really talking about most of the time is extreme attachment panic, which is actually fairly common. I’m a clinical social worker, and I think our field is more evolved than folks who are traditional psychologists on this issue. Unfortunately the real problem with using this kind of language is that you will dissuade people from seeking help. Obviously it’s never OK to cross someone else’s boundaries, or engage in any violence, but as a society we also need to realize that this has become an acceptable language of distress. We need to really interrogate that, and that system, instead of pathologizing people. Seeking mental health support is already so so hard.”

“This series is like a book you cannot put down. I cleared all of the episodes in an evening. I am left wanting more. If you choose to listen, it won’t disappoint and you might even learn something about yourself.”
