Very interesting episode. I found the editing to be very distracting. Was that added by AI?
Was really enjoying this episode and then it got real uncomfortable when discussing their study of Reddit posts. The fact they studied the post history of user's who had shared their breakup story is a great reminder about how truly public posts are 😬
I would caution listeners to not accept the interviewee's conclusions about changing vocabulary does not impact emotion/ depression, anxiety. It is the basis of the most documented successful tx of MH disorders - cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This story is more complex than this episode suggests. The basis of CBT is that our thoughts greatly influence our emtional state, and may be altered by changing the self-talk/the way we think and talk about our situation.
