Today’s episode is an opinion piece. Albeit an important one. And my husband is joining me.

We discuss “Therapy Culture.” Heard of it? I might have made up the term... not sure about that.

This is a topic Gen Z may have difficulty discussing, and a problem that I believe is occurring within my generation that is rapidly spreading.

With the mental health crisis and the shadow pandemic plaguing our world, finding healthy solutions to anxiety, depression, and suicidality is vital. But is the best way to handle these crises with a therapist? And why is “therapy” such a casual need nowadays? Are therapists replacing trusted friends, and is this healthy?

We believe your kids, grandkids, and friends are at risk, and they are likely unaware. Because therapy culture pushes the notion that in order to have a voice, you have to have had something significantly traumatic occur in your life.

Where is the line? We don’t necessarily have the answers, but this conversation is crucial to the well-being of our generation. We do welcome your thoughts and observations as well.
