Bad Therapy Session 2

Coach completes his review of the Abigail Shrier book Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. The focus in the episode deals with the questions "Are we teaching our children what is true about reality?" and "When we cast a wide net about trauma, are we actually doing more harm than good?" Ideas such as resilience, agency, and being the adult in the room are discussed when looking at topics such as Restorative Justice. Is the affirmative approach creating narcissists? Can people act mean in the name of empathy? Also, a brief discussion of the topic of Shrier's other best seller, "Irreversible Damage" on Gender Dysphoria is discussed from the viewpoint of a father with teen daughters. If you truly believe that to be informed one must see differing perspectives and viewpoints, then Shirer's book is a must read for parents & teachers to help raising kids.
