You Probably Don’t Need Therapy Forever Slate Debates

    • Society & Culture

On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: talk it out.

Talking about therapy isn’t taboo anymore — and that’s great, because everyone deserves help when they need it. The question is… do you really need it?

Dr. Richard Friedman of Weill Cornell Medicine wrote a piece for The Atlantic last month, headlined ”Plenty of People Could Quit Therapy Right Now.” So why is that the case… and what are the consequences of getting therapy when you don’t need it? 

Dr. Friedman joins us to discuss.
