Why Therapy Culture Is Broken

In this episode, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about modern therapy culture. Why are we more anxious than ever despite having more access to mental health resources? What happens when self-care becomes self-obsession?

We explore the industrialization of mental health, the commodification of wellness, and why the therapy-speak that dominates social media might actually be making us worse at dealing with our problems.

This isn't an anti-therapy episode—it's a pro-thinking episode. We challenge the assumption that more therapy is always better and ask what we might be missing when we outsource all of our emotional processing to professionals.

Topics covered:

• The therapy industrial complex
• When self-care becomes self-absorption
• The medicalization of normal human experiences
• Social media's role in spreading therapy culture
• Alternative approaches to mental wellness
