My guest today is the journalist Abigail Shrier, author of the bestselling 'Irreversible Damage', and now a new book – 'Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up.' We spoke about the harmful side effects of therapy, particularly for children, whether the rise of therapy culture is a product of family disintegration, and why girls from liberal families have been worst affected by the rise in teenage mental illness.

In the extended part of the episode, we also spoke about gentle parenting and why parenting gurus are so attractive.
