Chapter Overview

Description

Bad Therapy (2024) explores the unintended consequences of therapy culture and its impact on young people's resilience and well-being.

Who Should Listen

  • Parents concerned about the impact of modern parenting and therapy practices on their children's development and well-being
  • Advocates for personal responsibility, grit, and the importance of learning from adversity in character development
  • Anyone exploring the broader implications of therapy culture on society and the human experience
