ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of the Wisdom & Influence podcast, Cornerstone University President Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño sits down with psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert to discuss his book, "Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided."
Alpert, who has appeared on NBC's "Today" show, CNN, Fox News, "Good Morning America" and "NBC Nightly News," explores how therapy culture has moved beyond the consulting room and into American identity, politics, relationships and public discourse. The conversation examines the difference between feeling good and getting better, how validation culture enables rather than heals, and why clinical language like "trauma" and "toxic" has been diluted through overuse.
