Every negative emotion I have, I’m told to go to therapy.
Negative emotions are human!
Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

That is a bad thing. While therapy can’t solve every problem, it can solve a lot. That American’s can admit to using therapy means we can get the help we need when needed. I don’t know how, but Europe needs to fix their culture and get people the help they need, not be smug in the “we don’t need it” attitude which harms those who need help.
You’re reading a lot into that comment, it’s indeed not that common over here, but it isn’t non-existing either. If people need/want therapy, it’s available.
Edit: It’s also not that common to talk about therapy over here. Not that it’s taboo, but we don’t like to over share our medical history.
Perhaps then you’re also reading into Americans obsession with therapy as being a [fad? Perhaps?], and less the reality that many Americans desperately need therapy and is actually a real, tangeable problem
Americans actually need affordable housing, medical care, education, vacation time, workers’ rights, etc. Therapy is how oligarchs want you to “solve” your problems.
We can have all these things. Many therapists connect their patients to resources or even are volunteers in their community. I don’t see how these are exclusive
But also therapists are doctors, “people need housing not medical care” basically. We need all of them, holistically, every single resource we need to survive includes medical specialists. Would you say don’t go to an oncologist because the oligarchs want to die of cancer? What even is this logic
Also the oligarchs need therapy too for their psychopathy but their power systems wouldn’t allow someone non syncophantic in their circles so 🤷♀️ guess we all suffer cause of that too
everyone could benefit from a personal trainer too!
should everyone have personal trainers?
Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term
This seems like a testable hypothesis.
Personally, I’m skeptical that it would offer significant benefits over much cheaper interventions.
cool, do you live in a world where money grows on trees too?
No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.
right, just guillotine the billionaires and then everyone can have a personal therapist and trainer.
i see you clearly live in the real world.
That’s not anywhere close to what I said or even could have been reasonably implying. It was already pretty obvious that you were trolling, but this is just ridiculous.
Congratulations though, with that level of jumping to conclusions you definitely do not need a personal trainer.
Yeah, I don’t need one because I can take care of my own workout routines myself.
Almost as if… not everyone needs therapy either for the minor inconveniences of life…
Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that
When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.
What colour is the sky where you are?
Yes, that would be an awesome thing for universal healthcare to have. It would help people not get sick or injured.
Not the gotcha you think it is.
