Guest host Mark Sutherland sits in for Dan Happel for a powerful conversation with mental health professionals Kathleen Mills and Rebecca Smith about the ideological capture of the counseling profession, the rise of “affirmative therapy,” the role of schools and outside counselors, and the urgent need for parents to stay involved in the emotional, spiritual, and moral formation of their children.
Kathleen and Rebecca discuss what they are seeing inside graduate programs, counselor training, professional associations, school systems, and family court-related counseling. They warn that many parents do not realize how much influence schools, therapists, nonprofits, and professional organizations may have over children — especially when controversial issues are introduced without clear parental guidance or consent.
This episode focuses on parental rights, faith, family, school boards, counselor accountability, the importance of vetting mental health professionals, and restoring a mind-body-spirit approach to true wellness.
