Today we're joined by author Abigail Shrier to discuss her newest book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up." She dives into the unknown dangers of therapy for children, the differences between worry and anxiety, depression, and sadness and why therapy is different for adults. She also explains the dark motives that fuel some therapists and inevitably cause harm to the family unit as a whole. We discuss whether gentle parenting is a valid parenting style and the dangers of manipulative empathy. Abigail answers a few of the most pressing questions about mental health, such as: Is therapy the "responsible" thing to do? What is "social emotional learning," and why is it in our children's schools? And is the widespread use of antidepressants an example of social contagion?\n\nGet Abigail's new book here: https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Therapy-Kids-Arent-Growing-ebook/dp/B0CBYHTV2D\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:30) \u201cBad Therapy\u201d\n(03:00) "Irreversible Damage"\n(04:30) Side effects of therapy\n(09:00) How therapy is different for adults\n(17:40) Group therapy\n(20:47) Therapy in schools\n(27:00) Empathy\n(36:25) Gentle parenting & its effects\n(58:34) Are there good things about therapy?\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nSeven Weeks Coffee \u2014 Seven Weeks is a pro-life coffee company with a simple mission:\xa0DONATE 10% of every sale to pregnancy care centers across America.
