Has therapy become a tool for understanding ourselves—or a way to avoid taking responsibility for our lives? Thursday, October 29th, I'm joined by Jonathan Alpert (@Jonathanalpert), author of Therapy Nation, for a candid conversation about the ways psychology can sometimes be overused, misapplied, or even weaponized. We’ll discuss: 🤔Why are we calling everything “trauma”? 🧠How has psychology been weaponized? 😢Is self-care making us stronger—or more self-indulgent? Do you have a question about therapy, relationships, self-diagnosis, or taking responsibility for your own growth? Call the program at 1-800-DRLAURA and join the conversation.

She just loves getting attention, huh? I have a request for Greta, move to an Islamic country and see how you like it.

Joe Rogan: We're spending more than ever on healthcare, and yet we're sicker than ever before. We have more money, but more chronic illness. It doesn't make sense. It kinda does when you consider how available, and cheap, fast food has become. It also makes sense when you realize how normalized being out of shape has become. Drinking became cool, doing drugs became cool, taking steroids became cool... doing all kinds of harmful sh*t to our bodies became a trend. And I'm guilty of it too, we all are. cc: the.clip.don

I finished Therapy Nation by @JonathanAlpert last week, and found it to be very enlightening. Great read, it's a fascinating examination of the evolution of mental health therapy over the last couple of decades.
