[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the same issue with the counselor class at school. My kids had a lot of issues when it began. They’d go around telling people they weren’t filling their buckets. Instead of getting the message that they were mostly responsible for filling their own bucket. I feel like there’s a big emphasis on wallowing in your feelings vs resilience. I’m glad that they aren’t bullying each other but I think the emphasis should be on resilience. Learning to sit with your uncomfortable feelings and knowing that everyone has sad moments. How to work through anxiety. [/quote]

This is too common. Therapy should be empowering not encourage pity and wallow.  I see this more in young therapists though. This, along with the new trend of just cutting people out of your life completely is all dysfunctional and self-centered.  There’s a difference between someone who shameless abused you and someone who is an imperfect human. Bad (and mostly young) therapists don’t distinguish and tell patients to cut them out.  It’s lazy and immature. [/quote]
