Podcasts about irreversible damage

Join us for this fascinating and in-depth conversation with Melissa Dougherty on a spiritual element of the transgender movement many have overlooked. We never expected to have an episode on this topic, but after reading Chapter 5 of Melissa's new book, Happy Lies, we realized that her perspective on this controversial issue was long overdue. Although discussions surrounding this topic have been divisive and polarizing, most have remained at a surface level, failing to examine the underlying worldview fueling this movement—namely, New Thought. What exactly is New Thought, and how is it related to modern transgender ideology? Why is there such an insistence on affirming its truth and validating new gender identities among those who adhere to this worldview? Tune in to find out!

He also shares the story of Walt Heyer, a transgender for 8 years, who struggled with thoughts of suicide but ultimately found Jesus Christ and is now trying to help others.

Nach dem Grosserfolg des letzten Albums «Ignorance» (im Februar 2021 Sounds! Album der Woche) folgte bei Tamara Lindeman der Crash. Das siebte Album «Humanhood» musste aus dem Loch einer chronischen Depersonalisationsstörung entstehen. Aber: Alles halb so wild, versichert Lindeman im Sounds!-Interview. Also, das Songwriting sei ihr zwar noch nie so schwer gefallen wie für das siebte The Weather Station-Album, wer nun allerdings jeden Stein der Platte umdreht um nach Details über Lindemans aktuellen Gesundheitszustand zu suchen, macht sich damit keinen Gefallen: «Wenn ich wirklich glauben würde, dass jedes Lied, das ich schreibe, ein Stück meines Lebens ist, das nun fix in Stein gemeisselt ist, dann könnte ich wohl nie wieder einen Song schreiben», sagt die Musikerin aus Kanada über ihr neustes Album. Weitere Themen unseres Gesprächs: Wie ein Telefonat mit einer guten Freundin Lindeman zum Weinen gebracht hat und nun zum Herzstück des Albums wurde, sowie ihre Liebe zu The Blue Nile und Talk Talk. «Humanhood» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche.

Chapter 1: Summary of Irreversible Damage"Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Debate" by Abigail Shrier is a controversial book that examines the surge of transgender identification among adolescent girls in recent years.

She critiques what she sees as an increasing trend of affirming transgender identities without sufficient scrutiny and emphasizes the potential for regret and lasting impact on young people's lives.Shrier also discusses the role of parents and the medical community in addressing this issue, advocating for a more cautious and questioning approach to transgender medical treatment for minors. Throughout the book, she raises ethical, social, and emotional questions surrounding the topic, sparking significant debate and controversy.Overall, "Irreversible Damage" calls for a reconsideration of how society approaches gender identity and transitions among youth, urging for more careful evaluation and open discussion about the risks involved.Chapter 2: The Theme of Irreversible Damage"Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters" by Abigail Shrier is a controversial book that examines the rise in transgender identification among young girls. Here are some key plot points, character developments, and thematic ideas explored in the book: Key Plot Points1.

Coach completes his review of the Abigail Shrier book Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. The focus in the episode deals with the questions "Are we teaching our children what is true about reality?" and "When we cast a wide net about trauma, are we actually doing more harm than good?" Ideas such as resilience, agency, and being the adult in the room are discussed when looking at topics such as Restorative Justice. Is the affirmative approach creating narcissists? Can people act mean in the name of empathy? Also, a brief discussion of the topic of Shrier's other best seller, "Irreversible Damage" on Gender Dysphoria is discussed from the viewpoint of a father with teen daughters. If you truly believe that to be informed one must see differing perspectives and viewpoints, then Shirer's book is a must read for parents & teachers to help raising kids.

Journalist Abigail Shrier is no stranger to controversy. She hit the topic of rapid onset gender dysphoria hard in her first best-selling book, Irreversible Damage. Recently, she released a new book, Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up, which calls out therapeutic practices which she believes hurt rather than help our kids. Stick with us as I chat with counselors Julie Lowe and Dr. Phil Monroe to get their take on Shrier's new book, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.widerlenspod.comIs there a "prodigal son" element to the phenomenon of estranged children returning to their families? (Thanks to one of our founding members for submitting this question). While estrangement is a complex and new issue for many, there are some (if not common) instances where estranged children do find their way back to their families, however sometimes uneasily. But, this observation ties into themes discussed in Abigail Shrier's book "Irreversible Damage", which mentions that while "glitter families" (chosen families) might not be there in times of crisis, biological families often will be.What are some mistakes that you see parents making, which actually push the child further away? Empathy, patience, and strategic thinking are critical for parents to create a more conducive environment for potential reconciliation with their estranged children. But what should they avoid?In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. addresses these questions and more, emphasizing that estrangement affects the entire family dynamic, not just the parent-child relationship. Coleman highlights that the majority of estrangements do reconcile, often driven by life events or personal growth. And he also outlines five key mistakes parents make that can push estranged children further away as well as coping strategies for parents dealing with long-term estrangement.Want more from Dr. Joshua Coleman?WEBINARS FOR ESTRANGED PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTSVisit drjoshuacoleman.com and scroll to bottom to subscribe to his newsletter.Watch our full length episode with Dr. Joshua Coleman: https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/episode-166To listen to our premium content in your favorite podcast app click here for Substack instructions on setting up a private feed.

Our guest, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. Our guest will offer urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It seems like every kid in America today claims to be depressed and anxious. Weirdly, children are in therapy now more than ever, so you would assume the opposite would be the case. Abigail Shrier, author of the book, “Irreversible Damage,” and her new book, “Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up,” joins us to discuss why this is happening. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Helix - Get 20% off your order + 2 dream pillows at https://helixsleep.com/Klavan #AndrewKlavan #DailyWire

In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z's mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What's gone wrong with America's youth? In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn't the kids—it's the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers, and young people, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline, and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits. Among her unsettling findings: talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression social Emotional Learning handicaps our most vulnerable children, in both public schools and private “gentle parenting” can encourage emotional turbulence – even violence – in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult in charge. Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must – read for anyone questioning why our efforts to bolster America's kids have backfired – and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround. Abigail Shrier received the Barbara Olson Award for Excellence and Independence in Journalism in 2021. Her bestselling book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters (2020), was named a “Best Book” by the Economist and the Times. It has been translated into ten languages. Her new book is Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. Shermer and Shrier discuss: Irreversible Damage redux: WPATH Files • what view this book for or against • what is the problem to be solved? • theories: coddling, social media, screen time, generations/life history theory • good and bad therapists and therapies • anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, autism • ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) • trauma, stress, PTSD • anti-fragility and resilience • Goodwill Hunting view of therapy • previous quack therapies and psychological pseudoscience that have plagued psychology and psychiatry.

Patrick talks about the profound influence good examples set for us, like steering clear of foul language, and how they shape our character. He dives into the challenging decisions parents face regarding their children's exposure to sensitive educational topics—highlighting the importance of parental guidance.

Today we're joined by author Abigail Shrier to discuss her newest book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up." She dives into the unknown dangers of therapy for children, the differences between worry and anxiety, depression, and sadness and why therapy is different for adults. She also explains the dark motives that fuel some therapists and inevitably cause harm to the family unit as a whole. We discuss whether gentle parenting is a valid parenting style and the dangers of manipulative empathy. Abigail answers a few of the most pressing questions about mental health, such as: Is therapy the "responsible" thing to do? What is "social emotional learning," and why is it in our children's schools? And is the widespread use of antidepressants an example of social contagion? --- Timecodes: (01:30) “Bad Therapy” (03:00) "Irreversible Damage" (04:30) Side effects of therapy (09:00) How therapy is different for adults (17:40) Group therapy (20:47) Therapy in schools (27:00) Empathy (36:25) Gentle parenting & its effects (58:34) Are there good things about therapy? --- Today's Sponsors: Seven Weeks Coffee — Seven Weeks is a pro-life coffee company with a simple mission: DONATE 10% of every sale to pregnancy care centers across America.

Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks with best-selling author Abigail Shrier. They discuss her landmark first book, “Irreversible Damage,” as well as her latest publication, available now: “Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren't Growing Up". From this, they break down the state of the therapeutic industry, the overgrown tendency of professionals to “treat the well, rather than the sick,” the existence and need for necessary trauma, and the now-generational impact of harmful therapy, and by extension, harmful parenting. Abigail Shrier received the Barbara Olson Award for Excellence and Independence in Journalism in 2021. Her best-selling book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters (2020), was named a “Best Book” by the Economist and the Times (of London).

Dr. Michelle Cretella, a respected pediatrician and researcher, delves into the rarely discussed, irreversible harms associated with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries. Her insights shed light on a controversial topic, offering a much-needed medical perspective on treatments increasingly offered to young individuals struggling with their gender identity. Puberty: A Vital Developmental Stage, Not a Disease Dr. Cretella emphasizes the natural importance of puberty, a critical period for physical, psychological, and emotional development. She warns against the premature halt of this process through puberty blockers, highlighting the deprivation of normal growth experiences and the irreversible damage done to children's bodies and minds. It's a stark reminder from her: puberty is "not a disease" to be cured but a natural stage of human development. The Unspoken Consequences: Bone Health, Brain Development, and Fertility The conversation unveils concerning evidence on the long-term effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, including severe bone density loss leading to osteoporosis and increased fracture risks in adulthood. Furthermore, Dr. Cretella raises alarms about potential cognitive impairments and the disturbing reality of induced infertility in young patients. These interventions, she argues, not only disrupt natural bodily functions but may also sterilize children—a grave concern echoing themes of eugenics and population control under the guise of therapeutic intervention. A Call to Compassion and Ethical Responsibility Dr. Cretella's message is clear and urgent: the medical community and society at large must reconsider the approach to treating gender dysphoria, especially in children and adolescents. The push towards irreversible treatments without fully understanding the long-term consequences is, in her words, "evil." This poignant discussion calls for deeper compassion, ethical responsibility, and a commitment to truly helping individuals struggling with their identity without resorting to potentially harmful and life-altering procedures.

Librarians once stood for intellectual freedom and access to information, but today many prefer to suppress speech and intellectual diversity for the sake of a misguided concept of "social justice". One Davis, California library recently violated the First Amendment when they ejected a group of women discussing male athletes in female sports. Collections and programs are regularly distorted and compromised by ideologue librarians, while those watching in dismay fear to speak. Library consultant and advocate Penny Hummel breaks the silence to tell the Dorx what's really happening in America's libraries.

You've probably noticed that it seems everything is about transgender issues today. Why, exactly, is that? Why is everyone talking about transgenderism in particular? Why are we seeing an explosion of people identifying as trans? What's even involved in the transition process, in particular for the growing number of teens who are pursuing a gender change? What about the popular claim that if we don't support transitions, people will commit suicide? How, as Christians, do we respond to all of this in truth and love?Author, speaker, and radio show host Dr. Frank Turek is joining me today to talk about all of these questions and many more—including a bunch of personal questions about transgender issues that were submitted by people who follow my Facebook author page (https://www.facebook.com/natashacrainauthor).

The Atlanta-born quartet Algiers mixes post-punk guitars, gospel vocal harmonies, hip hop sampling, chopped and screwed production techniques, and pointed social commentary in a revolutionary way that is dark, urgent, angry, and utterly exhilarating. Their most recent record, Shook, has Algiers' signature fury and weight, features a multiplicity of voices, and is the result of the creative energy released into the space and time generated by the enforced pause on touring. As Frankie Fisher says in a Bandcamp interview, "Algiers's ethos, philosophy, and politics are about inclusivity and people generally on the margins", and in keeping with that, multiple guest artists from within the community contributed to this rich and complex sound, and the collaborative conversation even took on a new New York feel after the Shook stems were shared and manipulated into a separate companion soundworld. Algiers plays music from Shook, as a trio, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: “Irreversible Damage”, “Bite Back”, “Green Iris”

TENNESSEE SHOOTING: NASHVILLE TUCKER CARLSON and ANDY NGO INTERVIEWOP -ED , STOP MESSING WITH OUR KIDS!K-12 Public School Activism Responsible for Tennessee School Murders  by Suzanne Gallagher, Parents' Rights In Education Parents Rights In Education (PRE) is opposed to the teaching and promotion of Gender Identity beginning in kindergarten. Unfortunately, the Nashville, Tennessee school shooting this week is an outgrowth of the activism now present in most public schools across the country.The Tennessee shooter, a confused young adult female, was in counseling. According to Nashville's chief of police, John Drake, investigators believed the shooting stemmed from “some resentment” the suspect harbored “for having to go to that school” as a younger person. We want to know what advice she was getting.School counselors and psychologists today, encourage parents to begin social transitioning in kindergarten. Parents are bombarded with the message their children should be encouraged to explore their “real identity.” I recently received a call from a concerned a father whose five year-old son was seen by the Philomath, Oregon grade school psychologist, who recommended Dad consider “social transitioning.” Although Dad and son discussed biological reality, his son was influenced by female siblings to wear long hair and feminine clothing. Dad needed to be reminded he is the father, and has the right to mentor his son. What if he had not contacted PRE?What seemed like an effort to protect individuals struggling with “gender dysphoria,” has rapidly developed into a highly volatile political issue, and minor children are the target. Parents' rights to direct the education of their minor children, and manage their healthcare decisions, have been stolen and sacrificed on the altar of Gender Identity Rights. These are pseudo “rights” fabricated out of a false premise. Humans cannot medically change their sex.The average voter is unaware of the purposeful solicitation and recruitment of minors by public school staff and volunteers to change their sex. Students are inundated with messages about their “gender identity” rights daily. National Education Association member teachers wear badges encouraging students to seek them out for one-on-one counseling about sexuality and gender identity. In addition, LGBTQIA++ activist teachers adorn their classrooms with Gay Pride, Transgender, and Black Lives Matter political flags and posters.Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Clubs, a project of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, are now in K-12 schools. GSA Network is a political organization using local public school districts as distribution centers for their trans political agenda to "leverage the collective power of thousands of trans and queer young people in the United States who connect with us through our network.”Parents are not informed of their child's membership in these clubs. Abigail Shrier, author of Irreversible Damage, confirms the influence of these clubs in decisions students are making to explore gender transition. PRE featured a parent speaker whose daughter was influenced to change her sex at age 14 because of...READ MORESupport the showDONATE, TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

The transgender phenomenon is fast becoming the concern of parents worldwide, and a big problem is that those who question its validity get labeled transphobic, especially if they're a conservative Christian. The shooting in Nashville, TN has even furthered the debate, as the shooter identified as trans. The controversy has pitted supporters of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones against those who call those drugs dangerous and believe that gender is immutable. Now stepping into the fray, is Dr. Jeff Myers, head of Summit Ministries. His new book, co-authored by Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post, endeavors to expose the truth. On the Lighthouse Faith podcast, Myers talks about "Exposing The Gender Lie: How To Protect Children and Teens From The Transgender Industry's False Ideology." Myers says a growing number of teens are "finding their bodies irreversibly disfigured due to radically invasive and medically unnecessary surgeries." He says the puberty blocker Lupron is not even approved by the FDA for treatment of Gender Dysphoria, which according to Abigail Shrier, author of "Irreversible Damage", is a mental health problem that up until 2007 or so, affected about .01% of teens. The explosion of teen girls experiencing gender dysphoria has been called a social contagion, the same origin of the growth of anorexia and bulimia. Bottom line, says Myers, is Gender Dysphoria is a mental health problem that's being treated with surgery, permanently disfiguring a perfectly healthy teenage body. Learn more about your ad choices.

Many listeners in their 30's and beyond fear losing their well-established careers, reputations, or livelihoods should they risk speaking out over controversial issues. But what's it like for the odd 20-something heretic who dares to dissent from their peers straight out of college? If anyone has “lived experience” of this, it's Sasha. In 2020, she was fired from her first full time job. Her reputation in the publishing industry was instantly destroyed, stopped before it could start. This wasn't for lack of talent or dedication, but because she tweeted her opinion that men cannot be women.Sasha didn't let that crumble her. Instead, she took it as an opportunity to recognize a missing need in society, and got to work creating the Plebity Free Speech Fund, a sort of “cancellation insurance” offering security to those who fear threats to their livelihoods.In this conversation, Sasha and I explore what she's learned over the past three years and why she still finds it worthwhile to take such risks. We demystify common projections we've both faced as public figures who've survived in a post-cancellation world. Plus, we examine: who gets to determine what constitutes “hate speech?” Is “free speech” really nothing more than a conservative dog-whistle? Why does censorship backfire? And what can we learn from the cautionary tales of tyrannies past?In this episode, we mentioned Abigail Shrier's book, Irreversible Damage. You can get that and support the show through this Amazon affiliate link or from my bookshop.We also mentioned episode 13 with Jessie Mannisto, Brains & Bravery: Turning Breakdowns into Breakthroughs. You can watch that on YouTube here or find it on any audio platform of your choice here.And we discussed Sasha's investigations into the famous TikTok surgeon who “yeets the teets,” Dr. Gallagher. Read Sasha's article on Gallagher here.In our conversation, I also mentioned I was thinking of writing a book. This episode was recorded back in August 2022, before I decided to write the Dear Detransitioners series. Since then, I did begin writing that book, but then I got busy with Affirmation Generation, so the book is on hold. I do intend to return to it when things settle down.Sasha White co-founded the Plebity Free Speech Fund after getting fired for her tweets in 2020. The Fund awards grants to those who have been severely/materially punished for their speech.

The UN's blueprint for making the world a better place is on life support. The pandemic wiped out years of progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and right now there's no way they'll be met by 2030. On the GZERO World podcast, Ian speaks with UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the United Nations headquarters just ahead of this year's General Assembly. Their one-on-one conversation ranges from rescuing the SDGs, the war in Ukraine to global food insecurity, climate change, and authoritarianism on the rise; but Guterres sees signs of hope amid these converging crises. Guterres is known for bluntly stating the dangers we're facing—and the need for immediate action.

The latest fad in social media and elsewhere is for individuals to post their “preferred pronouns." The idea is that others should not assume your gender identity. The underlying belief behind this practice is that gender is a social construct, not a biological fact. But how should a Christian respond when someone asks to be identified in a way that contradicts both biology and the Bible?Dr. David K. Bernard responds by examining science and the Scriptures. He offers practical advice to believers of all ages who are attempting to navigate the turbulent waters of modern culture.In this episode, Dr. Bernard references two books, Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier and As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl by John Colapinto.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a rating and a review on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform.

Patrick responds to emails about gender identity  Question about being an Alter Boy  Patrick recommends “Irreversible Damage” and “When Harry Became Sally”  Question about the Precious Blood of the Chalice and being glutton intolerant   Comment about being over charged for a Catholic wedding  Sam - Follow up from question 3 weeks ago: I now have more people trying to force me to go to a personal care home. What should I do? It seems the more I talk about my faith the more people want to put me in this place against my will.  Rhonda – President Biden has said “For God's sake people” several times in the public. Is that taking the Lord's name in vain?  Arthur - Is everyone who gets the mark of the beast going to hell?  Chris - Can lay people give homilies at a Eucharistic Service?  Patrick reads an email from Carmen about the symbol of the Cross  Mary Jane - What do I tell people who say, “Jesus Christ” or “Oh my god” is not a sin?

What we are told is safe, is toxic; we are told we must do, we should not. How did this happen? Beginning with a tale of scientific discovery in the 1990s and early 2000s—involving telomeres and cancer and senescence and mice—we arrive at one answer: if the powers-that-be have insight, they are better served by keeping that insight to themselves, by refusing to share it. And so: all the newspapers, all the universities, all the everything, are failing. We also discuss baby formula—why you might want or need it, and share a recipe from a naturopath that will be far better than anything you can (or cannot) find on the shelves. And we discuss fathers: genetic fatherhood, biological fatherhood, cultural fatherhood. There are many ways to be a good father. ***** Support the sponsors: Eight Sleep: Personalized thermoregulation while you sleep, and when you wake.
