00:00:00
My fail is going to be more
00:00:01
controversial and I feel as if online
00:00:04
and generally as a a gestalt in America
00:00:06
that therapy fixes everything and I feel
00:00:09
like it's sort of becoming the new take
00:00:10
this supplement to solve all your
00:00:12
problems. I think overprescription of
00:00:14
therapy can pathize normal life. You
00:00:16
know, every frustration, conflict, or
00:00:18
sadness is framed as something that
00:00:20
needs therapy. Saying that you just need
00:00:22
more therapy to fix this problem is a
00:00:25
little bit like me saying you're
00:00:26
frustrated by airport delays. Well, you
00:00:29
should fly private. I'm not anti-
00:00:31
therapy. I'm anti- oversimplification
00:00:34
and that it is a powerful tool for many
00:00:36
people. But to be clear, f folks,
00:00:39
logistically and financially, it is not
00:00:41
a universal fix here. And the argument
00:00:45
isn't therapy is bad. It's that therapy
00:00:47
is being marketed like supplements
00:00:48
promised as the answer to everything
00:00:51
pushed by people who profit from the
00:00:53
narrative and stripped it of the nuance
00:00:55
required to be truly truly useful. my
00:00:59
therapy bomb. A nuclear [ __ ]
00:01:02
detonation fluoride in the water that
00:01:04
would be as good as therapy for the vast
00:01:07
majority of young men who supposedly all
00:01:09
need to work on themselves before they
00:01:10
can make money or have a relationship
00:01:13
would be higher wages and lower chronic
00:01:16
stress. $25 an hour minimum wage, paid
00:01:19
family leave, universal child care. And
00:01:22
what I see online is everyone stating
00:01:25
that mental health is the only answer.
00:01:27
No, it's an answer.
00:01:29
I think that you're right that it has to
00:01:31
be a a well-rounded thing and not
00:01:33
everyone avails themselves to therapy in
00:01:35
the ways that are possible. We're going
00:01:37
to get a lot of push back, but that's
00:01:38
okay.
