The Dangers of TikTok Therapy
Holiday gatherings are supposed to be fun — so why do so many people secretly dread the office Christmas party? In this episode, we unpack the hidden social pressure, generational differences, and the rising trend of turning to AI for emotional guidance.
Host Jim Lang sits down with Sim Sim Chhabra, therapist, author, and founder of Horizon Within, to explore why workplace social events feel harder than ever — and what people can do to manage that anxiety in a healthy, human way.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Why the return-to-office era is increasing social anxiety
• How AI (like ChatGPT) is becoming a surrogate “therapist” for younger generations
• The generational differences in coping with workplace expectations
• Why real human connection matters more than online advice
• Practical tips for breaking the ice and surviving office holiday events
