Has therapy culture created its own set of problems as parents seek to be gentle and therapy terms like "narcissist" and "trauma" saturate social media? Earlier this year, author Abigail Schrier caused a stir when she published Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. Host and therapist Dave Verhaagen, along with pastors Kevin Dixon and Sam Barnhart, investigate. Turns out, while the book makes some good points, the challenges of growing up and parenting are not that simple.

Also recommended from this episode: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing An Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt.
