In this new season Christine, Jaco, and Michael introduce a new series of discussions based on Abigail Shrier's new book, Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. Many mental health professionals, parents, and concerned citizens have noticed the therapy culture our children are living in. Despite increased access to therapeutic services, and therapeutic language, we have seen a proliferation as opposed to reduction in mental distress among children and adolescents. Why is that so? We explore this phenomenon and the question through the lens of celebrated journalist Abigail Shrier.
In this first episode of the series we discuss how psychotherapy, like all other interventions, has the potential for iatrogenesis, or unintended harm. We also explore the proliferation of "distress obsession" within our therapized culture.
