Clinical Psychologist: We’re Misdiagnosing Gender Dysphoria and Making It Worse - Dr. Lisa Duval #33

With 35 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lisa Duval argues that gender dysphoria is best understood as a fear of adulthood—not an identity. She explains why using puberty blockers is the opposite of proper therapy, exposes how medicine shifted from evidence-based to “rights-based,” and reveals the psychological patterns clinicians overlook. From adolescent anxiety to the role of therapy, Duval shows how professionals can truly help young people in distress.Support the show: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/beyondgenderpodcast/subscribe
