Individuals with narcissistic, compassionate traits, leaning towards borderline personality disorder, may manipulate others, even sacrificing their children for attention. Parents facing pressure to conform to therapeutic treatments for their children's gender dysphoria may feel compelled to comply out of fear of being blamed for their child's potential harm or suicide. The pervasive influence of therapists and societal pressures exacerbates the situation, making parents feel helpless and pressured to conform.
Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks with best-selling author Abigail Shrier. They discuss her landmark first book, “Irreversible Damage,” as well as her latest publication, available now: “Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up". From this, they break down the state of the therapeutic industry, the overgrown tendency of professionals to “treat the well, rather than the sick,” the existence and need for necessary trauma, and the now-generational impact of harmful therapy, and by extension, harmful parenting.
Abigail Shrier received the Barbara Olson Award for Excellence and Independence in Journalism in 2021. Her best-selling book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters (2020), was named a “Best Book” by the Economist and the Times (of London). It has been translated into ten languages. Her upcoming publication, Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up is slated for release in early 2024.
