EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Freya India, Being Damaged Is Not A Personality Trait - Freya India explores how Therapy Culture Traps Gen Z Girls In Self-Obsessed Fragility Freya India argues that a pervasive ‘therapy culture’ has become a secular replacement for religion among young women, shaping how they interpret every emotion, relationship, and life problem through a medicalized lens.
