Why are therapists acting like influencers?
Because influencers are acting like therapists.
This was a recent trending Reel format on Instagram (example).
Influencers like Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty give mental health advice on social media that’s more “pop psychology” than actual psychology.
There’s also a lot of misinformation about mental health out there, especially on TikTok, which is why it’s important for therapists to participate in the conversation.
The more therapist influencers, the better.
