If you want to know how people are learning about mental health these days, you don’t have to look far, just open TikTok or Instagram. Search “trauma,” “ADHD,” or “healing,” and you’ll find thousands of videos with millions of views. On the surface, it’s incredible that we’re talking about emotions and mental health so openly.
