Turning Point USA
About this episode

Did you know that there are negative side effects to therapy? No of course you didn't, because NO ONE talks about it. Investigative journalist and author Abigail Shrier is back to discuss her new book Bad Therapy, which reveals how the overuse of therapy has mentally stunted an entire generation. Alex and Abigail discuss problems with Gentle Parenting and how kids fare in conservative vs liberal households.
