    About This Meet-Up

    Our topic this month will be "Therapy Talk." With the rise of mental health influencers on social media and younger generations embracing the importance of mental health there has also been a shift in language that people use. What have you noticed about clients’ use of terms such as trauma, self-care, toxic, etc.? How has this widespread adoption of psychological terms been helpful? How has it been harmful? Are people using therapy techniques and strategies in manipulative ways? How do we use psycho-lingo in our own practice? We’ll explore this together!

    Space is limited, so be sure to register early! We look forward to seeing you there! Registration closes the morning before the event.

    Please email Michael Mann, LMFT at president@sgvcamft.org with further inquiries about this group.
