The Body Series returns this week with my dear friend Molly, a licensed social worker, who shares her experience working as a therapist in NYC. We discuss the cultural fatigue around therapy speak and “trauma,” how CBT, DBT, Attachment Theory, etc. got subsumed into (and weaponized by?) mainstream discourse, and the current trend toward somatic healing practices. We also explore the downsides of overidentifying with diagnoses, and put Molly’s expertise in conversation with past Body Series guests, Emmeline Clein, Eloise Skinner, and Sloane Elizabeth. Discussed: “Overanalyzed: A series about how we fell out of love with therapy”, The Cut (2024) “Tell Me Why It Hurts” on The Body Keeps the Score, NY Mag (2023) Past The Body Series episodes: Emmeline Clein, Eloise Skinner, Sloane Elizabeth
