Today's show is a little different than our normal content. First of all, Maggie was unable to join for today's recording, and instead we were able to have our first guest appearance! Dr. Jessica Rabon is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in pediatric psychology. Her clinical interests include depression, anxiety, chronic medical illnesses, LGBTQ+ health, and eating disorders. She has published a number of peer-reviewed research papers and a book on topics such as suicide, depression, anxiety, self-compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness. Additionally, Jess creates mental health content on TikTok and Instagram and hosts two podcasts, Psych Talk and Welcome to Group Therapy, with the goal of making mental health more accessible and relatable, and destigmatizing mental health.  In this episode, Leeor and Jess talk about the recent Washington Post Article which stated that therapists request consentfrom their clients to use their session content in their social media. After the article was released, The View included one of Leeor's videos (without consent or warning) in their segment on this topic, insinuating that Leeor was one of the therapists that does this. Leeor very seriously explains that she does not and has never done something like this, and that The View's representation of her is extremely damaging and unwarranted. Leeor and Jess explain how they use their own life experiences as well as general experiences are used to create their content. Jess and Leeor have an open and honest conversation about their thoughts on all of this, and the role of ethics on therapist's social media. Overall, Leeor was unfairly misrepresented and wanted to explain her frustration with being grouped into this narrative. If you're looking to find jess, check out her socials below!
