And I was like, well, you ever think that perhaps your patients need to know the truth?

And that you're not helping them by reinforcing anxiety, reinforcing a lie, and reinforcing a behavior such as covering their face, which blocks them from society, blocks them from engaging with people, dehumanizes them, all of the negative things we know about masks, let alone all the physical health problems.

And she was like, oh, I hadn't thought about that.

She agreed with me.

How do you not think about that?

All she can think is I want to make them feel safe.

That's what therapists think.

Feel safe, feel safe.

The World Health Organization?

Yes.

United Nations?

Yeah, she's got issues.

Oh, that's interesting.

Yeah, I agree.

One of the things specifically that Abigail Schreier was talking about is children and youth and how they're sent to therapists way too quickly.

And even when they're not even showing problems, they're given social emotional learning and learning therapeutic ideas, which are actually creating harm.

It makes them think they are a problem.

Yeah.

They're making them ruminate, think about feelings they don't need to think about, making them little neurotic nutcases.

Because then the parents don't have to look at themselves.
