Summary

We live in a decidedly "therapeutic culture".

There are a million questions we could ask about the implications of this, especially as it relates to fatherhood and motherhood, but the one we focus on today is, "Is embracing this therapeutic culture maladaptive for men?"

Put another way, we discuss whether fathers are different enough from mothers that the question of therapy itself has to be broken down among gender lines.

As always, we believe fatherhood and motherhood are the anchor points of gender. The entire REASON for gender.

So, it makes sense that we talk about roles and how each member of the family could or perhaps even should approach therapy.

Hit play to find out if dads should approach therapy differently.
