Are we just in a "therapy culture" brainstorming?

[jhonny9546]

Today we hear about narcissists, manipulators, toxic people, toxic parents, toxic families, opportunistic friends, etc...furthermore, we need to earn respect, we need to stop being good "nice" guys. We need to recognize red flags, disrespect...
We hear it from psychologists, the media...people..."we need therapy" to recover our unresolved traumas.



So do we all have traumas? Do we all need therapy? or are we actually living in the biggest era of the brainwashing?


Although there may be minorities and small percentages of people with disorders, it's as if everyone should go to therapy, always and in any case. We all need to overcome our traumas, and it's as if each of us had some trauma caused by our "narcissistic" family, or our "toxic" parents, partner.

One important thing they don't really consider nor mention, is that we know that everyone has their own culture, subculture, and traditions. Traditions are a jumble of "clichés" and "sayings and proverbs." and traditions differ from each other.


You could say that in some cultures and subcultures, most human interactions are based on " temporarely disrespecting" others to create humor and joke. You make fun of someone, but you do it for fun and to create humor and make laugh, create a connection.
(Comedy itself is based on drama, and drama usually happens to the interlocutor or to other people).
And you can see this works but is seen as disrespectful in many cultures, while in some others it create comedy right?

What do you think of this epidemic of "mind" and "wellness" experts telling you to cut off contact with your family and toxic members because it could damage your health?

do we all have traumas?

None.



Low T men, our society has a lot of those today, can't think for themselves. They act like sheep. They follow others.

What you are seeing is people being led down a self-destructive path.

Then, they create wars in the middle east, which bring your way migrants.

Your population that practically struggles to reproduce, having in some cases less than 1 child, is surrounded by population of migrants with 2 to 4 children per family. That's population replacement. What you described is part of cultural genocide. Then comes population replacement.

Identify of people and countries is being erased.

If this is actually true?


I am a "is this true" person, I think I could have a % of autism in me, but, if we're not having "trauma" liek they say,but we do things that actually align with what a trauma is, what do we have?
A "temperament"?

@jhonny9546 "So do we all have traumas? Do we all need therapy? or are we actually living in the biggest era of the brainwashing?"

1. Yep, and we've all inflicted trauma on someone else also. Contrary to what Marvel and Disney assert, the human race is made up of beings who are Anti-Heroes/outright Villian Protagonists

2. Psychotherapy's like everything else in life*... Some of it can be beneficial, some of it has no effect at all, and still other forms of it can leave you more f-c-ed than you were prior. It's all buyer beware

3. The world's filled with folks who want you to purchase their product(s)... Those who market and advertise said products vigorously stay afloat. Call that(marketing and advertising)"brainwashing", if you wish

*On a side-note: Much of what The Manosphere/Red Pill Theology trades in is "therapeutic", and is also afflicted with the same flaws which characterize most "conventional" psychoterapies. Namely, providing it's consumers with an immeasurable amounts of "validation", but zilch in the way of Gottlieb et all refer to Wise Compassion https://www.npr.org/sections/health...-therapy-and-gets-a-taste-of-her-own-medicine

"I think that a lot of people come to therapy for validation. They come because they want the therapist to take their side and say, "You're right. He's a jerk. He's a sociopath." And that's what your friends will do for you, but it's not very helpful

I talk in the book about the difference between idiot compassion and wise compassion, and idiot compassion is where you want to make somebody feel better, and so you don't necessarily tell them the truth. And wise compassion is where you really hold up the mirror to them, in a compassionate way, but you also deliver a very important truth bomb"
