ABSURDE.
About this episode

Welcome to this Absurde Podcast episode where we delve deep into the world of mental health and therapy. In this episode, we talk about the stigma surrounding seeking therapy and the common misconceptions that exist.

Our expert guest Dr. Diana Maatouk (Psy.D/Ph.D) discusses what brings someone to therapy, the typical timeframe that patients can expect, and how diagnoses are made. We also explore the differences between psychologists and psychiatrists, and how therapy compares to healing practices and life coaching. We tackle the important question of whether therapy always works, and discuss the critical issue of confidentiality in therapy.

Finally, we touch on the misuse of mental health terms on social media, and why it's important to be aware of these issues. Tune in to this insightful and informative episode, and join us in breaking down the Absurde stigma and myths of therapy.
