Everyone I know seems to be diagnosed (or self diagnosed) with some kind of mental disorder. It's one of the defining traits of the zoomer generation. I know it's considered a kind of blasphemy, but I really think therapy is hurting our culture.
Therapy trains people to only think about themselves. If someone isn't completely perfect, we're told to cut them out of our lives. If your dad gets upset because you're not doing chores, he's abusive. If she doesn't text back after 2 minutes, she's avoidant. It just adds a really sick and toxic layer to every single social interaction.
People aren't perfect. I know I've done things that upset people in the past and people around me have made mistakes. It's called being human. Not every mistake or miscalculation is a product of evil manipulation or mental illness. Therapy seems to make the self the center of the world and reduces every relationship to something transactional. "My way or the highway."
I think that's part of the reason why our generation is so lonely. It's hard to really bond with people when you're constantly afraid of being a victim. You really need to be forgiving and be willing to see the best in people if you wanna make it in this world.
Well where do I start? 🤔😅😆 I have a bachelor degrees in psychology. I never did my masters because "no jab no uni" 🤢
And if you have that degree and cannot wake up to what happened the last three years did you even learn anything?
I mean I originally went for this career because I really wanted to help people. Two problems with that statement.
how many are doing the same? A) So many have problem's they haven't gotten over themselves and hence seeing everyone as victims? And babying them? When my partner went to uni his lawyer professor or whatever mocked the previous whiteboards notes from psychology because "everyone joins it to fix themselves" 🤔 B) how many are doing it because they think it's good money ? Love to judge? Or are literally narcissistic and love having that power over people? I've seen it in my own psychology network.
what do you actually learn to help people? Half my degree was "filler classes" from any other field to keep you in uni longer and cough up more dough $$$. And what I walked away with is: no wonder they encourage you to get a marketing career if you fail getting the grades needed for the master entry to be a psychologist. All I learned was manipulation, coercion, gaslighting etc. Geesh sounds like convid 🤢😅🥴
I don't deny it hasn't helped me in life but I feel it's because of the wrong reasons like knowing how to manipulate 😭 Others will probably *justify it as using your skills but I don't like it.
Oh and regarding the dsm, drink too much coffee and it's deemed a mental illness yet be a man and identify as a woman is acceptable now 🤔🤦
“And if you have that degree and cannot wake up to what happened the last three years did you even learn anything?“
Oooh, good point and one I hadn’t thot of. If a mental health “professional” got the jab then obviously they didn’t…
Do their homework on it before taking an experimental “medication.” Thereby showing they just believe “authorities” and are not independent thinkers. They go along to get along.
Recognize the blatant gaslighting and manipulation (forcing the jab). Which, you would think, would be easily recognized because “professional.” How can they help you if they can’t help themselves?
So maybe the litmus test for seeing a therapist is whether or not they caved to the pressure.
Hehe, thank you for the inside scoop!🐸
