This week is Part 1 of an ongoing series that Kat and her friend, fellow licensed therapist, Tara Booker created called “The Difference Between.” In this series Kat & Tara discuss different terms, diagnosis, and concepts that originated from the mental health field and how they have been bent and twisted in meaning in pop culture. This week, they deep dive into the meaning of abuse and abandonment. We hope that this series offers more detailed language in hopes that we can all identify, understand, and process our unique experiences in ways that feel validating to ourselves.
