[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone ever question whether therapy is a good idea. Our culture sees therapists constantly yet is the most miserable dysfunctional, suicidal mess ever. Seems like something isn’t working so well.

Maybe we should return to respecting elders and taking responsibility for one’s self. [/quote]

I mean, you wanna go back in time?  How far back do you want to go? Hahahahaha. I assume you must be a white privileged person, the only ones who revere the past. I myself am a white privileged person, who has benefitted from therapy. I got generational trauma, as most people do. I have PTSD from my mother's abuse, and I do actually feel sorry for her, she grew up in such a terrible time for women.

If you want to just go on in survival mode ... then your approach of "respecting elders"  might work for you, but not your kids, who will not relate to your outdated, abusive, primitive world view. IMO, you need to grow up and face reality if you want a happy family. The past is terrible.[/quote]

It would be helpful if you could post something legitimate instead of just seething with anger and scorn. I think you have something to say but it's not worth wading through your emotional and psychological screed to get to it. If this represents the results of therapy, it seems like a waste of money.

Can you repost saying what you actually mean?[/quote]

What I mean is, people who are sure that families were happier in the past because of "respect" and "values" are idiots who don't understand history or much else. So, there's my unsaid scorn for you. I think you are ignorant, and ignorance is a poor thing in a parent.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you think I am. I didn't say anything about respect or values. Again, if you represent the end result of therapy, I'll take a hard pass. I can learn to be mean and bitter and full of scorn for others for free.[/quote]

The PP I responded to called for "a return to respecting elders." You wanna mix it up? I am not mean or bitter, but I do hate ignorance and obfuscation.[/quote]
