When an anonymous listener posted this question we thought it would be a great topic to discuss; one that many of our listeners could be wondering about.Ā 

The listener said, Hello, I absolutely love your podcast. And hereā€™s the question. Do you think all teens should go to therapy, just so they have a space to talk that isnā€™t a parent, family member or friend. Iā€™ve been pondering this lately and trying to equip my kids with all the tools I feel they will need in life.

Feeling very empowered listening to the podcast.Ā 

The other issue we discussed was an email in which a listener queried whether it's really that important for boys to have male teachers as role models; or even to have same sex role models at all.
