🧠✨ PIT Group Intro Meetup
Details
This is a first intro meetup online to say hello, get a feel for the group, and have a light discussion around a short pop-psychology article.
This is meant to be easy, welcoming, and exploratory — no prep beyond reading the article (if you can), and no pressure to speak more than you want to.
### 📰 What We’ll Read (Optional but Encouraged)
We’ll loosely anchor our conversation around this Psychology Today article:
“Pop Pathology: The Modern Obsession With Diagnosis”
👉 https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/love-them-or-leave-them/202510/pop-pathology-the-modern-obsession-with-diagnosis
The article looks at how clinical language and diagnostic labels have entered everyday culture — especially through social media — and what we might gain and lose when we rely on “therapy speak” to explain human behaviour.
### 💬 What We Might Talk About
I’ll bring a few guiding questions, but this won’t be rigid or academic. Sample questions include:
Big-Picture / Culture
- Where do you notice “therapy speak” or diagnostic labels showing up most in pop culture or social media?
- Why do you think this language has become so widespread right now?
### 🧘🏽♀️ Format & Logistics
- Online intro meetup (Zoom link shared closer to the date)
- Approx. 45 minutes
- Come as you are
- This is a low-commitment, first-touch gathering
### ✅ How to RSVP
RSVP “Yes” if you’re interested.
I’ll send the Zoom link and any final details closer to the date.
Looking forward to meeting you and seeing what emerges 🌱
