Join Maddy and Adam for a playful, human take on the alphabet soup of mental health—where clinical shorthand meets real-life questions. From licensing letters to diagnoses like GAD and SPMI, and treatments like EMDR, they walk you through what these terms really mean and why they matter (or don’t) for your care.
With humor, curiosity, and surprising clarity, this episode follows a conversation that flips jargon into stories: the tests that track progress, the ratings therapists use in-session, and why you should pick a person, not a catchy acronym. Expect practical tips, gentle debunking, and a reminder that labels are tools—not your identity.
