therapy doesn't heal trauma therapy teaches you to professionally identify as broken, monetizes your pain, and creates addiction to emotional validation from strangers
every successful civilization understood that you deal with suffering by transcending it not discussing it. every great in history didn't journal about his "trauma responses"
modern therapy model: pay someone $200/hour to agree your life is hard, validate your feelings, and avoid mentioning personal responsibility. it's secular confession but you never get absolution
notice how therapy people never graduate? 5 years later still "working through stuff" therapy created a permanent patient class who define themselves by their diagnoses
we convinced an entire generation that normal human suffering is "mental illness" requiring professional intervention sadness became "depression", worry became "anxiety", and personality became "disorder"
you can't critique therapy because it's sacred in secular society. attacking therapy is like attacking medicine to people who replaced god with healthcare
we're creating generations of people who can't process difficulty without professional help first relationship problem? therapy work stress? therapy life has challenges? therapy you are normal? therapy
your ancestors dealt with actual trauma, war, famine, disease, death of children etc all without therapists you need CBT because someone was mean to you in middle school
the problem is that therapy culture creates fragility, not resilience. it teaches you to see yourself as damaged and incapable it's learned helplessness with insurance billing codes
we pathologized strength and medicalized weakness now everyone's sick and weak, and nobody's responsible
