  Why should everybody be in therapy? That’s like saying everybody should see a physiotherapist.

    I mean, with how common back problems are in people of all ages, maybe we should all be seeing physiotherapists

      I know I should be. I would genuinely benefit more from a good massage therapist than a psychotherapist at this point in life.

    It’s more like saying everyone should get a physical on a regular basis. We all need a check up now and then.

    You’re reminding me of a certain quote… “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -J.Krishnamurti

    As fucked up as this world is, if you’re well adjusted to it, you’re broken and probably should see someone, and if you’re not, you need therapy to make it through the evolving dystopian hellscape. …so yeah, I think that’s what they’re saying.

      I mean… yes? Some days I feel that way, and reading your words makes sense to me. In this case I simply meant we should care for our mental health like physical and normalize it. But seeing dude compare therapy to needing a specialist for an acute problem, then reading your response… Yeah, you’re def right in this case. Broken is normative.

  It’s sad that it’s true. Therapists are in high demand, and part of the reason we need more therapists is that about 1/5 of current therapists are basket cases in denial who use the idea of therapy to fulfill their own desires to control and manipulate others.
