Summary

Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks with best-selling author Abigail Shrier. They discuss her landmark first book, “Irreversible Damage,” as well as her latest publication, available now: “Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up". From this, they break down the state of the therapeutic industry, the overgrown tendency of professionals to “treat the well, rather than the sick,” the existence and need for necessary trauma, and the now-generational impact of harmful therapy, and by extension, harmful parenting. Abigail Shrier received the Barbara Olson Award for Excellence and Independence in Journalism in 2021. Her best-selling book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters (2020), was named a “Best Book” by the Economist and the Times (of London). It has been translated into ten languages. Her upcoming publication, Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up is slated for release in early 2024. - Links - 2024 tour details can be found here https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Peterson Academy https://petersonacademy.com/ For Abigail Shrier: On X https://twitter.com/AbigailShrier?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Website https://www.abigailshrier.com/ Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren’t Growing Up (Book) https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Therapy-Kids-Arent-Growing-ebook/dp/B0CBYHTV2D

0:00.0	The Hello everyone. Today I'm talking to Abigail Shrier. I last talked to
0:20.0	her about two years ago when I first when I first re-emerged on the podcast scene. She was the first
0:26.4	person I talked to in this new series of podcasts and she had just published her book
0:31.6	Irreversible Damage, the Transgender Crazed
0:34.2	seducing our daughters.
0:36.0	So I was quite apprehensive about talking to her
0:38.0	because, I mean, that's a hot topic now,
0:40.3	but it was like a verboten topic at that point and I was barely on my feet.
0:44.5	Anyways we had a very good conversation which I think eventually YouTube took down if I remember correctly
0:50.0	because as you know there's nothing that you can't talk about less than the
0:55.0	transgender issue. Anyways Abigail has a new book coming out, bad therapy, why
1:01.0	the kids aren't growing up which is slated for release in early 2024, but which is available for purchase.
1:07.0	Now, she moved from her concern with the transgender phenomena and the medical barberism that accompanied its
1:15.1	hypothetical treatment to an analysis a much broader analysis of what has
1:19.2	gone wrong with the therapeutic enterprise as such. Now that's that's something about which you can talk about for a very long time.
1:25.8	And we do in fact talk about that for about an hour and a half on YouTube and then
1:29.7	peripherally for another half an hour on the Daily Wire plus side so you can join us for that.
1:34.4	Welcome aboard. So I think it's about two years since we talked and if I remember correctly
1:41.2	you were the first guest I had on again after I more or less got back on my feet
1:46.7	and made me very nervous because you'd written this contentious book and I was sure that we'd
1:52.1	get thrashed to death by YouTube, which we did, but...
1:57.0	But... But... But...
