Therapy Nation: When the Cure Becomes the Culture
About this episode
The episode explores America's obsession with therapy and its impact on mental health through discussions with therapists Jonathan Alpert and Joshua Fletcher.

Two honest, provocative takes on the talking cure. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
