About this episode

The episode discusses the misuse of therapy language, particularly around gaslighting and narcissism, and the emotional impact of being labeled a narcissist during arguments.

A snapshot from this week's episode, When Therapy Language Becomes a Weapon. What actually counts as gaslighting — and what's just a disagreement? SaVon, Antoinette, and Josh break down how therapy words get weaponized, why only 2% of people actually have NPD, and what it really feels like to get called a narcissist mid-argument. (Hint: it hurts worse than being called broke.) This is just a piece of the conversation. Hear the full episode, When Therapy Language Becomes a Weapon, in the feed.
