CTA Podcast
Critical Therapy Antidote was established in 2020 as a response to the rapid, uncontested and systemic encroachment of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) on the psychotherapy field. The purpose of its establishment was to provide a platform where those concerned about this ideological takeover can challenge these ideas in articles, share resources and find a network of likeminded professionals and laypersons. In March 2023, the CTA Podcast was launched by clinical psychologist, Jaco van Zyl, and marriage and family therapist, Christine Sefein-Wolk. The CTA Podcast aims to critically analyse the tenets of CSJ, to provide diverse alternatives to this ideology, and to reestablish the healing ethos of psychotherapy. Welcome to the CTA Podcast. We hope it will both stimulate and challenge you.

The Bad Therapy Series | S3 E6 - When Being A Parent Is No Longer Apparent
In this final installment of The Bad Therapy Series Christine, Jaco, and Michael conclude their examination of Abigail Shrier's latest book, Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up. What does real independence look like for our kids? At what point are we over involved in the natural maturation of children? How might parents establish a balanced approach towards parenting? What is the role of a parent surrounded by "experts?" What is the purpose of childhood?
In this final episode of the series we discuss the intrusion of a more lenient and accommodating mental health culture both in parenting and in the therapy room. We discuss the paradox of "our best laid plans" in helping children and adolescents as they mature and develop. We delve into the implications for over involvement in children's lives such as limiting their capacity to develop adaptive skills, and to contend with the ever-increasing demands of life. We also explore the role and significance of effectively transmitting family values to children as they grow up.
