Summary
"It's like when my daughter plays dress-up. They're playing with identities — the most extreme version of the thing they're trying to inhabit." Brian sits down with Dr. Hannah Spier, the Norwegian psychiatrist behind the Psychobabble Substack, on what her field does to men and what it hands out to women. Also: why she argues much of the autism and late ADHD now diagnosed in women is poor socialization nobody will name, the diagnosis as a story of redemption, psychiatrists as the gatekeepers who stopped saying no, and what her own maternity leave taught her about the literature on women's wellbeing. "That is when you have a breakthrough — when you get your male client to start crying. That's when you're really going someplace. But men find it quite provoking to sit face to face and chat. Men heal by doing." Support the show: feedthebadger.com/support Send us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetip Join the community: badgernation.online
