In this episode, I share my professional reaction to Bad Therapy by Abigail Shrier and unpack the growing cultural conversation around therapy, trauma, and parenting.
As a licensed therapist specializing in eating disorders, body image, mood disorders, and trauma, I explore where I agree — and where I strongly disagree — with Shrier’s critique of modern mental health culture.
Topics covered include:
- Overdiagnosis and overmedication in children and teens
- Therapy dependence and ethical practice
- Trauma theory and whether trauma impacts the brain
- Social-emotional learning in schools
- Gentle parenting vs. authoritative parenting
- Rumination vs. healthy emotional reflection
If you’re searching for insight on Bad Therapy, trauma-informed therapy, parenting trends, or concerns about over-therapy culture, this episode offers a balanced, clinically grounded perspective.
