If the story of humanity is about loss, privation, suffering, and resilience, why are kids having nervous breakdowns about bad grades?
In today’s episode, I talked to Abigail Shrier about what parents and mental health experts are inadvertently doing to rob young people of the resilience and grit that past generations had.
It’s a spicy one. Enjoy.

The sweeping generalities made in this interview about trauma, therapy, therapists, people etc are laughable. The 2024 version of pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Yikes.
Yeah, irresponsible and… uninformed.
thank you, nice talk!
Very confusing points from Ms Shrier. I taught Social Emotional Learning. Although I think it could be improved, it is odd to suggest that a response of "I'm happy" means "there is nothing to talk about". She cautions against sweeping generalizations in therapeutic approaches by using sweeping generalizations.
I have five kids, this is reassuring to hear because this is exactly how I've been feeling abt the whole western trend towards therapy. It also helped being born and raised in a communist country, and having gone through everything that came w it. And even those hard experiences we saw it as life back then, and we moved on and conquered. But it was all thanks to our parents who downplayed everything and believed in us and our own capacities. Trying to to instill that in my us suburbia raised kids
you can try, but your kids are being raised by different culture
@@niksatanand if that culture is struggling I'm supposed to use the tools that have worked for me to give them a boost. They're already stronger and more resilient than their peers because we don't cater to every request and negative feeling they have.
While I appreciate this video is really criticising middle class parents that put their kinds through unnecessary therapy, its worth remembering that some people are effected by adverse childhood... those tend NOT to be kids sent to therapy by their parents, but people who could benefit from it. So its one thing to demonise therapy in your community, but its way more nuanced
But you gotta admit it's prescribed way too often nowadays. And by good parents who thinly hats the route they should take .and if it were working, by all means, but it doesn't seem to produce the results they're hoping for. So why not try some old school stuff with a bit of self awareness and empowerment of the individual. Ultimately we're here to figure life out and no one can do that for you.
@@alicealecu4509 definitely, but they should be more clear about that line of who needs therapy and who doesn’t than just assuming everyone is over prescribing. That’s the actual difficulty in this stuff, the nuance
This is great stuff. As a MH provider and "old" person with many horrible, heartbreaking life experiences (I didn't KNOW that it was trauma, it was just "that's life") the worst of times 100% made me better. Did I like it? No. Did I learn a lot? Had this very discussion at my son's wedding last week. I learned that the lessons are in the messes.
This interview is a perfect illustration of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater".
If you want a thorough and very nuanced review of Shrier's work, I highly advise you to watch the video of Dr. Ana on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/-wagZLXs4vs/v-deo.html
Dads with shared custody are boned because of bad therapy

I wanna hear this ladies thoughts on autism and how parents are being guided and I'm not talking severe autism, I'm talking mostly independent autism.
