Has Psychobabble Infiltrated Our Culture? A conversation with Joe Nucci
In this episode of Relationship Advice, Colter and Cayla sit down with therapist and author Joe Nucci to unpack themes from his book Psychobabble. They dive into common therapy-related myths—like the idea that “everyone needs therapy” or that “more emotional intimacy is always better”—and explore how cultural messages about mental health can sometimes oversimplify or distort deeper truths. The conversation blends humor and insight as they challenge overused self-help tropes, advocate for nuance, and discuss how real growth happens both inside and outside of therapy.
Main Talking Points:
- Myth: “Everyone needs therapy” — therapy is beneficial but not always necessary
- Limited therapist availability and mental health as a social justice issue
- Myth: “More emotional intimacy = healthier relationship” — intimacy looks different for everyone
- Dangers of over-standardizing “emotional health” in relationships
- Therapy as preparation vs. real-world relational growth
- Attraction patterns, emotional awareness, and learning through experience
