Todd Baratz

Todd Baratz is a licensed individual and couples psychotherapist. He is widely known for his popular Instagram account, @yourdiagnonsense, where he deconstructs pop-psychology myths and offers nuanced advice on relationships. Baratz is critical of the pathologizing language often used in therapy culture (such as overusing terms like "narcissist" or "toxic").\n\nHe is the author of How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind. In this book, Baratz challenges the idea that relationships should be easy or "perfect." He argues that messiness and conflict are inherent parts of intimacy. Baratz advocates for accepting the flaws in ourselves and our partners, rather than constantly trying to "fix" them. His approach is refreshing, direct, and focuses on building resilience and self-awareness within the context of a partnership.
