Salon Series: The TikTok of It All: Navigating Self-Diagnosis and Misinformation in the Social Media Era

The TikTok of It All: Navigating Self-Diagnosis and Misinformation in the Social Media Era is a salon event for therapists to explore the growing impact of social media on our clients’ understanding of their mental health. This discussion will focus on how platforms like TikTok contribute to self-diagnosis, the spread of misinformation, and the effects of constant phone use on clients’ well-being. Therapists will examine the challenges of helping clients navigate these digital influences and how to address misinformation within the therapeutic relationship. Through thoughtful dialogue and shared expertise, this event aims to equip therapists with strategies to support clients in a world increasingly shaped by social media. [Of course we will NOT be discussing our own phone use!]
