[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Psychological therapy was never a real option for many older people. My own parents are like this. They never lived in their own. They never learned to make choices based on their own intuition. My 70-year-old mother can’t hardly decide what to order at a restaurant. She’s accustomed to seeking the opinions of friends and family or a local priest. The most outside guidance she ever received was probably church based pre-Cana and a weekend of Catholic Marriage Encounter which were most likely just echo chambers of church doctrine. Many of these older folks were never asked nor expected to make choices on their own, so no surprise they’re stuck at in their teen years or at best early 20s. [/quote]
