How do you know if you can trust the information you're consuming — especially when it comes to mental health, self-help, or personal growth?

In this video, I'm sharing a therapist’s perspective on how to assess the quality and trustworthiness of what you read, watch, or listen to. We'll look at popular sources like books, influencers, and even therapists themselves, and

I’ll walk you through the thinking tools that can help you become a more empowered and discerning learner.

I also explore:
Why "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" might not be the resource it claims to be
The most common cognitive biases that trick us into trusting the wrong things
Practical ways to build critical thinking without becoming overly sceptical
How to use frameworks like logos, ethos, and pathos to analyse arguments
Why self-education is a powerful tool in therapy — and how to do it well
