109: Therapy. Should all teens get it? Also, do boys actually need male role models?

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?

When an anonymous listener posted this question we thought it would be a great topic to discuss; one that many of our listeners could be wondering about. 

The listener said, Hello, I absolutely love your podcast. And here’s the question. Do you think all teens should go to therapy, just so they have a space to talk that isn’t a parent, family member or friend. I’ve been pondering this lately and trying to equip my kids with all the tools I feel they will need in life.

Feeling very empowered listening to the podcast. 

The other issue we discussed was an email in which a listener queried whether it's really that important for boys to have male teachers as role models; or even to have same sex role models at all.
