Parental Reliance on Therapists and Loss of Authority

Parents often rely heavily on therapists to guide their parenting, leading to a loss of parental authority. Therapists, sometimes inappropriately, reify issues in children, exacerbating problems such as anxiety, depression, and a lack of agency. This over-dependence on therapists extends beyond actual therapy sessions to schools and parenting decisions, contributing to a rise in psychological interventions with detrimental effects on children's mental health.
