Hoping this is a logistics delay rather than anything more Sinister.......

Watched the interview with Benjamin B. Abigail puts her finger on some of the things I had been feeling uneasy about without being able to name. For example the medicalization of emotions - you aren't just shy anymore you have social anxiety. And parents looking to ease paths for kids removing all uncomfortable experiences, instead of just saying "of course you feel lost, at sea, uncomfortable in your own skin sometimes, you're a teenager, it's normal." Being able to avoid all social interaction that's difficult and the lack of sexual experience, plus the parental acceptance of all rebellion and muscling in on all their experiences leaving them no room to develop individuality are all interesting points.
Hoping to get time for other interview links too, thanks everyone for posting.

I listened to it on Audible but still can't review it on UK Amazon - which is annoying me. Well worth a read/listen and very disturbing.

Same. I'm finding I can only listen in small doses and then I have to walk around and swear for a bit.
