This podcast interviews Freya India about her observations on "therapy culture" among young women, particularly Gen Z. The discussion explores how therapy language and online trends have potentially replaced religion and traditional support systems, leading to excessive self-focus and a reluctance to engage in relationships or accept constructive criticism. India cites statistics showing a high percentage of young people in therapy and suggests this constant self-analysis hinders genuine self-development and problem-solving. A key example is the overuse of attachment style labels to explain relationship difficulties, rather than addressing the core issues. The interview concludes by highlighting the lack of adult guidance and the resulting anxieties of a generation navigating a rapidly changing social landscape.
