About this episode
In this eye-opening episode, Norwegian psychiatrist Hannah Spier joins us from Zurich to share what she discovered after years of treating anxious, depressed women in outpatient clinics — and why she ultimately walked away from a high-flying career to become a stay-at-home mother of three. Hannah is the voice behind Psychobabble with Spier, where she analyzes the psychological patterns in our culture that quietly incentivize dysfunction.What started as a conversation about her clinical work turned into something far more personal — and far more powerful.I'll walk you through:? Why so many women in their 30s are flooding therapists' offices — and why it's not a psychological problem? How modern therapy (including CBT) has drifted toward endless validation instead of real behavioral change? The moment Hannah realized she was on the same path as her most struggling patients? What happened when she put her daughter in daycare at 7 months — and what it cost her family? Why she calls feminism "an ideology of resentment" — and how she broke free from it? The surprising statistics on Norwegian mothers extending maternity leave at their own expense? How Cluster B personality disorders are rising — and what's fueling themWhether you're a woman questioning whether your career ambitions are truly yours, a therapist wondering if your sessions are actually helping, or someone who senses that our culture's prescription for female fulfillment just isn't working — Hannah offers the kind of honest, medically-grounded perspective that is rarely heard today.? Remember: Anxiety and depression are often your body speaking to you. The solution isn't always found on the therapy couch — sometimes, it's found in how you're choosing to live.========================================================Hannah's relevant links:Substack (Psychobabble with Spier): https://substack.com/@psychobabblewithspier?r=1rqrel&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile&shareImageVariant=imageInstagram: @psychobabblewithspier — https://www.instagram.com/psychobabblewithspier/========================================================?
