Therapy Culture and Spirituality in Young Women
This chapter explores how modern women are turning to alternative spirituality and therapy as substitutes for traditional religious practices, revealing the complexities of seeking belonging in a therapy-centric culture. The discussion highlights the potential pitfalls of excessive focus on mental health issues, particularly the tendency for women to ruminate on their problems, and the subsequent impact on their relationships. It also examines the decline of religious affiliation among Gen Z women, addressing concerns about their mental well-being and the interplay between individualism and community in their lives.
