Have we taken therapy culture too far?
Laura Delano, author and founder of Inner Compass Initiative, discusses the risks of medicalizing imperfections and how it shapes identity for Gen Z. Clinical psychologist Joanne Finkelstein highlights the influence of social media on self-diagnosis and the challenges within modern therapy systems. Together, they debate whether the trend empowers individuals or increases fragility, and share insights on seeking community support beyond diagnoses. Both urge for a broader understanding of identity that transcends medical labels.
