Psychobabble

Half of Americans believe mental health conditions aren't diagnosed often enough, according to a 2026 GWI survey. Yet nearly half are uneasy about people diagnosing themselves based on what they see on social media. Between TikTok life coaches and Instagram ';narcissist' call-outs, therapy-speak has become a second language, and the messiness of being human has started to look like a disorder.

In Psychobabble, licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci cuts through the noise, taking apart 40 popular mental health myths, including:

Everyone needs to go to therapy.Your feelings are always valid.People gaslight you when they disagree.Everyone has trauma.The reason you can't focus is ADHD.

Navigating conflict without crying ';gaslighting'Strengthening relationships with family and partnersCoping with rejection and difficult emotionsImproving focus and moodKnowing when professional help is truly needed

Candid, compassionate, and grounded, Psychobabble is the reality check for anyone tired of therapy-speak and ready for real healing. This book is for people who want to improve relationships, navigate conflict, cope with rejection, improve attention and their mood.
