In today’s episode I am joined by Dr Chloe Bedford (@the.running.psychologist) and returning guest, Jo Rodriguez (@straightforwardpsychology), to talk about all things social media psychology bollocks. It is a reflective discussion where we discuss both the helpful and unhelpful sides of mental health information on social media. We consider how the algorithm pushes both an overwhelming amount of information but also forces content creators (like ourselves) to condense information so that the content gets seen; weighing that up against the quality of information that gets put out into the socialsphere. We also think about burnout in ourselves as well as consumers and how to identify helpful versus unhelpful information.
Hopefully it is a meaningful episode. Please do get in touch if you have any thoughts (or if you just want to tell us how great we are - praise never gets old!). And as always, please follow, like, share, and recommend this podcast. A review and rating would not go amiss, either.
Thanks, as always.
Nice-ish.
