OMG! Yes! Most people do NOT need to go to therapy. Going to therapy is not something to be proud of and is not something that should be talked about publicly. I have several friends who go to therapy and I have to try not to visibly cringe when they talk about it. Sometimes I want to scream at them, "Stop talking about your therapist!" [/quote]

There's nothing shameful about therapy and honestly how do you know who does or does not need to go to therapy? Also you are likely not a very good friend if a friend is talking about therapy and you "visibly cringe."[/quote]

I agree with the PP. Most therapy is a racket. If it helps someone feel better, great, but stop talking about it all the time. I hate the way the vocabulary pervades everything now and the over-therapized want to diagnose everyone. [/quote]

NP - you and the original PP might want to look at facts around increases in mental illness in this country and the damage it does to society if untreated.  There’s a real shortage of qualified healthcare professionals to treat people. Finding it annoying is one thing; insisting it’s unnecessary and shameful is gross.[/quote]

Sorry, but people droning on and on about their narcissistic mothers or toxic families are not doing general mental health awareness any favors. [/quote]

DP There is a balance that’s woefully absent right now.

Therapy is great and not remotely shameful. AND making your “trauma” your main personality trait is unhealthy, immature, and annoying.

Good therapists teach you to get healthy and move on. Bad therapists let you wallow in victimhood.  Gen Z therapists and casual tik tok therapist wannabes are doing a lot of harm by calling everything narcissistic, toxic, and traumatic.   [/quote]
