| 0:00.0 | Bad Therapy on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:10.7 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:15.9 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face. |
| 0:20.6 | This week on the podcast, I have with me Dr. Sam Stevens. |
| 0:24.6 | He's assistant professor, biblical counseling at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, |
| 0:28.6 | and his full-time job is with ACBC, serves as director of membership and certification. |
| 0:34.6 | So grateful for this brother, and we are back again talking about Mental Health |
| 0:39.8 | Awareness Month. And one of the key things that has hit the world recently in mental health |
| 0:46.2 | is a new book by Abigail Schreier called Bad Therapy. Dr. Stevens, I'm looking forward to our |
| 0:52.0 | time discussing this book today. I think this book is going to be widely read as popular as it may be. |

| 1:17.6 | it's really interesting to me what led her to this. You remember her last book, Irreversible |
| 1:23.6 | Damage. And it's really interesting to hear her talk about that story. What led her to researching that book Irreversible Damage, talking about transgender issue, and therapy became a primary focus of it. And her seeing the suggestion of therapy and some of the negative effects really led her into this world of writing this book. Talk a little |
| 1:45.6 | bit about your initial perception as you see her book and how she lays out the ideas that she's |
| 1:51.2 | going to promote in this book, Bad Therapy. I think one of the first things that I would want to |
| 1:55.6 | point out is actually that in some ways this book is not unique. |
| 2:01.1 | I mean, there are more and more books that are coming out from people that are either |
| 2:05.0 | directly related to the field of the psychology's mental health or are investigative |
| 2:10.6 | journalists, more in the vein of where Abigail Shrier would be. |
