Argentalk: Stories in Argentine Spanish
In this episode of Argentalk, we dive into a very Argentine topic: mental health and therapy. Why do so many people in Argentina go to a psychologist—and why do we casually talk about things like grief, relationships, and emotions all the time? We’ll unpack how therapy became so normalized here, and what it says about the way Argentines think, feel, and relate to each other.
We’ll also look at the historical roots of psychology in the country and how that history shaped a culture where psychologists often play a key role in everyday life, helping people make sense of their emotions and bonds. The episode is entirely in Argentine Spanish.
