Bad Therapy, Weak Parenting, Broken Children | Abigail Shrier | EP 427

Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks with best-selling author Abigail Shrier. They discuss her landmark first book, “Irreversible Damage,” as well as her latest publication, available now: “Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up“. From this, they break down the state of the therapeutic industry, the overgrown tendency of professionals to “treat the well, rather than the sick,” the existence and need for necessary trauma, and the now-generational impact of harmful therapy, and by extension, harmful parenting. Abigail Shrier received the Barbara Olson Award for Excellence and Independence in Journalism in 2021.
