“Back in my day, we DiDnT gOo tO tHeRaPyYy” 🫪 Yeah babe,,,, it shows…

I go to therapy. Have for a number of years now. Person Centred therapy.

Helped with my relationship to myself, with my mum and with my daughter.

Lots of trauma and hard work to go through. It's never easy. Can be scary. But it's very productive.

I think I’m similar to the older generations in that I don’t believe in mental illness. At least not to the extent it’s diagnosed now. Mainly because the idea that pharmaceutical companies looking to exploit people for money is a lot more believable to me than the idea that nearly everyone has something terribly wrong with their brain which only drugs can solve. I say this as someone who has been a patient in multiple mental hospitals. Some of which were residential. Psychiatric drugs were mandatory. Even outside of those places, I haven’t seen any mental problem be treated without them. I’m sure some people do get therapy without medication, but I have yet to meet one.

Psychologists and massage ladies share a common thing. They get one addicted to having someone provide the social contact that otherwise would be missing. It's very addictive and expensive. Then one day it ends abruptly and you realize that you meant nothing to them but money.
