I hate this trend so fucking much...
(Obligatory "Not every therapist or counselor")
"Muh' mentals" and all does nothing but reduce the actual issues faced by people into just another commodity that you "treat" by bitching at an ordained "professional" who either rebuffs you (be it right or wrong) or gives you continuous ass-pats and tells you exactly what you want to hear. And if that's all it took to smooth over a person's deeply rooted problems, it'd be fine, though I question how deep those traumas actually were.
But the thing is, most of those issues have a very, very valid reason for manifesting, and talking about them doesn't make them go away. Purely my own experiences, but community and like-minded support better address this. Not some person who bills you $300 an hour, does the whole "How does this make you feel?" and "What do you want to work on?" over and over, and promptly pushes you out the door the moment the clock runs up.
I feel that the more society encourages this is a "treatment" to these issues faced by the vulnerable and broken, the worse they will actually become.
TL;DR - just talk to your homies, it's a lot more effective and a lot cheaper. I will know accept my
ribbon.

I absolutely agree, as someone who got ran through the therapy gauntlet when I was in middle/highschool, 90% of issues cant really be dealt with by talking to someone paid to listen to you, should you still seek one out initially incase the issue is more deep-rooted than just trauma? I think so at least, but for issues that boil down to needing emotional support you're much better off seeking that in reasonable quantities from your social circles.

I agree. We should return to trepanning. Gotta let those demons outta your head!!
I'm still waiting on the Pippa, Lisa, and Pina collab cover of "eye of the spider" they planned in the old company unity discord. It'll happen any day now...
Seeking support from your social circles is all well and good when your social circles are reasonably normal (friends and colleagues who have the basic impulse of wanting to 'make the people next to them less sad' for lack of a better way to explain this human trait), but when anomie drives you to odd social circles, like say, MMO guilds, furfag circles, or the LGBT+ sphere, you are more likely to surround yourself with other people who are also 'social exiles', and it's a toss-up as to whether you can gain positive social stimulation which outweighs the effects from the various actual weirdos (those who aren't mere disenfranchised introverts) you will meet in such circles.

I don't know if people who think like you have never actually gone to a therapist or if professionals in america are just fucked up/suck at their job (no offense).
While I agree that therapists often sort of take the place of an emotional tampon, their job is to use their in depth knowledge to push you into self-reflection and help you connect the dots yourself. In the end, only you can fix yourself. Sure, you could argue so do friends, but not everyone has tight knit friendships these days, and that's probably more so the reason that more people go to therapy. people are getting lonelier and worse at building friendships every year. I have a decent amount of close friends irl and none of them could ever relate to my problems. Not because they didn't want to help, they just couldn't understand what goes on in my head.
I'm not saying go to a therapist if you feel sad for a week, but if your life has been dogshit for years (while you're an adult), try finding help from outside, because you clearly lack the wits to fix yourself.
If your therapist does nothing but coddle you, drop him and find a new one. Some people need to get their comfort zones challenged and others need to be encouraged to trust their own decisions at all, and that's what a good therapist should be doing. Meds should be a last resort if nothing else works (and if possible avoid the ones that turn you into actual zombies).
And if you actually have some fucked up personality disorder like Bipolar, you should absolutely seek help. I don't know how many here remember reckful the streamer, but he ended up killing himself during a manic phase and his whole story is just heartwrenching.
Just like meds won't magically fix your shit and going to therapy won't magically make your problems go away, not doing anything or telling yourself it's not that bad won't magically fix it either.

Gentlemen the trauma dumping, concern posting, and dissertation flinging is usually reserved for Break Days.
Yes.
When I was doing my school days therapy, I saw a total of 50 something people over the course of a year, because the way it works for kids at least, is the kids are mostly treated as "training" for consolers and therapists before the move onto either being a schools therapist, or something more specialized. As someone who sought them out for a few years when I was in my early 20's most just try to peddle you drugs to take the pain away.
I wonder how Pippa feels about a non insignificant portion of her fan base being made up of psychologists, failed psychologists and psychologists in training
I swear I really don't envy anyone living in the land of the free. I've heard so many horror stories.
Now to break the autism I'll go watch last nights vod, so I can concooorn some more when I hit the part that was talked about here yesterday.
Well, I post goofy shitposts everywhere else on the internet; this is the only place which I frequent with an atmosphere conducive to unironically nerdposting/intellectualposting/autismposting.I wonder how Pippa feels about a non insignificant portion of her fan base being made up of psychologists, failed psychologists and psychologists in training
Also helps that as much as we bust each others balls over dumb shit, most people here are decent, level headed people for the most part, this is one of the few places on the net you can have a proper discussion about something with it being less likely than usual to breakdown into a tard fight or get censored to hell and back.
Brave of you to brag about a weak attention span on the internet :^)
Or the alternative, shitloads of us have been patients.I wonder how Pippa feels about a non insignificant portion of her fan base being made up of psychologists, failed psychologists and psychologists in training
