#237 Is a Hyper-focus on Trauma Actually Hurting Us?  with Maria Baer

A new study demonstrates that contrary to popular opinion, endless personal trauma-mining is actually destructive to our mental health. In our therapeutic age, everything is pathologized, from shoplifting to drug use to having a bad day. Maria Baer joins the podcast to talk about an article she wrote for World, titled “Make Resilience Cool Again.” Maria shares about our culture’s obsession with trauma care, and how we might actually be getting it wrong.
