Ehhh, this kinda seems like it’s promoting some kind of “woke” anti-therapy mindset or somethin’, and I’m not sure I’m down with that. Kinda gives me the same vibes as those memes that say shit like “Who needs medication when you can go on a hike instead?”.
Not saying specifically “western” therapy is flawless and works perfectly for people of all cultures/backgrounds, but overall: Therapy good.
I dunno, just rubs me the wrong way.
Good post. Group therapy is a good example of other ways to work with people
At the end of the day when trying to heal someone’s mental anguish you gotta do what resonates for them.
Material conditions matter. Someone comfortable surrounded by others / community? Great, go with group. Someone isolated down to the individual? They’re going to feel safe 1:1.
