THERAPYSPEAK

Fridays here on the newsletter are for magical overthinking—for a closer look at my new book, as well as some expansions on its themes, like modern-day delusion and psychological wellbeing. Today, I’m hopping in video to read a new piece of mine related to today’s mental malaise and our attempts at healing it: The piece is called “How Therapy-Speak Became the Love Language of the Modern Workplace,” and it’s the feature article in Harper’s Bazaar’s October 2023 issue!

Below you’ll also find some pull quotes from the cutting room floor, sound bites from my sources—both experts and everyday employees—that didn’t make the final draft, but are too good not to share.
