People Deciding Therapy is a Hoax

About this episode

Julie and Wilson discuss the implications of an article on therapy culture and critique its use in promoting personal agendas.

Julie and Wilson bring together their interpretation of an article called Therapy Nation by Jonathan Alpert. Seeing it as an excellent review of our current therapy culture, they also admonish those who use articles like this as a tool to propagate their own agendas and narratives.
