  Sounds more like a break from a crushing capitalist system.

    This was in the context of COVID:

    Nanjikana said he has taken some positives away from the experience, such as a forced break from the chaos of a global pandemic.

    “I had no idea what was going on while I was out there. I didn’t hear about Covid or anything else,” he said. “I look forward to going back home but I guess it was a nice break from everything.”

    Exactly. It’s no reality people want to escape. It’s honest reality people want to find.

      No, but on a remote uninhabited island you can pretend the bullshit doesn’t exist.

      It’s incredibly hard to delude yourself when something is in front of yourself face. Although this is apparently a flaw in me, as most people seem perfectly capable of it.

      Assuming you’re rescued. But there’s a chance you’ll get to die without answering another passive aggressive email…ahhh. one can dream.

  • lightnsfw@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah, wtf does therapy even do? My brain is fucked because of the reality of my situation not because I have some dysfunctional mindset I need to work through. It’s all external factors. Having to grind away at a job I hate just to scrape by while everything continues to get more expensive, billionaires burning the world, and our government falls to fascists is fucking hell. You’d have to be crazy not to have a fucked up mentality. Am I supposed to spend even more money I don’t have just to talk about my problems?

    Alternatively being able to completely disconnect from all this shit for a month where I have no choice but to simply focus on survival sounds pretty great.

    • petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Therapy is mostly about meditation, coping strategies, and self-improvement.

      I think you might balk at the suggestion of developing coping strategies at all, but this:

      being able to completely disconnect from all this shit for a month

      Is a coping strategy. It doesn’t really fix anything, but it does help you manage stress. I assume you can’t take a month off, so therapy would say, “Okay, what’s a second idea.”

  Being lost at sea for 30 days is the therapy

    Too bad he got rescued a day early then.

      That last day is where it really sticks/integrates long-term. Too bad.

  Is therapy really that good? I know lots of folks that have been to therapy. They’re still shit.

  • SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I went to therapy and found a bunch of NEW things that I was (successfully) suppressing.

    I PAID to have MORE problems. I can’t afford ME.

    source

    • rafoix@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I know that I have a lot of problems. A therapy bill will just be one more and it’s not going to undo the previous problems.

      Understanding how and why I’m fucked up is not the same as not being fucked up.

    Therapy allowed me to let my guard down enough to see who I really am. That was pretty invaluable. Not easy or fun, but worth.

    • Rooster326@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes…but have you tried a 29 day, 696 hour vacation on a boat?

    • gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      idk i’ve always had difficulty with therapy because it feels like a trap. “go tell all your deepest darkest secrets to that other person, they sure won’t judge you.” then they put you in jail. it feels like the “good cop” in the “good cop/bad cop” game. they pretend to be nice meanwhile they’re working with the system. at least that’s the suspicion i get.

    I don’t think it’s just as simple as going to therapy but I’ve been in therapy for years and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I really got to work through stuff that I had been dealing with for years. I think it’s hard to figure it out on your own, but I don’t think a therapist is the only thing you need.

  • NaibofTabr@infosec.pub ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Just do AI therapy!

    It will tell you you’re great, and you won’t have to risk any emotional vulnerability with a real person!

    If you genuinely want to change and find a therapist who can help you find the right resources to do it, it’s invaluable.

    source
  • FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If you have very thoughtful friends or family members that you talk to and can be honest with about… Everything, then that fits the bill.

    Also if it’s just the “someone to listen to you” thing there are other free alternatives e.g online (with the extra anonymity, which is nice) or to a catholic/orthodox/high anglican priest, or to a volunteer counselling group (one big one exists in my city).

    If you’re not willing or feeling the need to give it a try, I would recommend reading about psychological concepts. Or just watch someone such as Daniel Mackler and you might learn to heal yourself through osmosis.

  It’s not a break from reality. It IS reality. It’s just that human nests - any conquered space of nature, be it urban or rural - has a habit of becoming a panopticon torture complex that we don’t very much enjoy being in

  I havedbeen and still am in therapy for a couple of years now. I would still like to be lost at sea to get such a break. (Provided I can easily survive that.)

  source

  • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You should mention these feelings to your therapist for some fresh content.

    source

    • Zacryon@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      My therapist already knows. Not much we can currently do about it. There is also plenty to deal with so this is also conparably low on the priority list.

  I’m in therapy and I’d still like a month away on a remotely uninhabited island.

    But. If you were there…

    source

    • Dasus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Well depends on what I’d have obviously, and what the island is like.

      But assume basic glamping equipment and a perfect island and I’d be better than now.

      Of course crashing on an atoll somewhere without any equipment would be pretty bleak. Deadly even.

• JiveTurkey@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I think the point is that the reality of the world is that It currently sucks and it was nice to forget about that for a bit. It wasn’t that he had some trauma he could ignore.

  Many guys would rather be stranded than face what’s wrong with them in therapy.

  Terry Crews said as much in a fabulous interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJa4jGqMc70

  To pararaphrase, basically, he argues the manosphere has pitched externalizing one’s problems as manliness. And he argues one of the toughest things he’s had to do, and what he argues is actually “manly,” is to look at your own issues critically, head on. This is (often) what should happen in therapy.

  Who can afford therapy? These people probably lost their houses not paying rent for a single month. They didn’t ask for it, they couldn’t. They were forced into the situation, and enjoyed it while they could.
