## Resource

Author and psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins guest host Mary Walter to look inside his groundbreaking book, Therapy Nation. Alpert pulls back the curtain on how modern therapy has shifted from a goal-oriented process into a permanent lifestyle, explaining how pathologizing ordinary bad days has inadvertently bred a culture of extreme fragility, self-absorption, and division across America.
