Today’s episode is a bit different.   We're diving into Adolescence, a limited Netflix series that, while not based on a specific true story, holds striking emotional truths about youth, trauma, and the complexities of the human experience.

To help unpack it all, I’m joined by fellow therapist and friend, Ruth Clark. Together, we reflect on the series and explore how it mirrors the real-life challenges we've witnessed in our work with teens, families, and communities.

 There will be spoilers. So if you haven’t watched the series yet and want to experience it firsthand, I recommend hitting pause, watching the show, and then coming back to join us. Also, please be aware—this series is intense and includes several trigger warnings, particularly around violence, trauma, and adolescent mental health.

Show recommended by Ruth: Win or Lose on Disney+

Book recommendation from Ruth: Are My Kids on Track?
