Every negative emotion I have, I’m told to go to therapy.

Negative emotions are human!

Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

    It’s true, but I see more people going to therapy needing more therapy than people who just let time be the proverbial healer.

    Again, I’m not talking about trauma so grave you actually need therapy to get you out of your funk, like wartime memories or terrible accidents.

      Not everything is a one size fits all solution. Some people do great with therapy and some need a different approach. Your comments are bordering on dangerous advice by asserting that therapy causes more therapy.

      You don’t know what your sister’s experience truly was without being her.

          And a theory without evidence, not just anecdotal evidence, can be harmful.

          You don’t have to go to therapy. No one is forcing you. You also don’t need to shit on a viable path towards healing for many people.

          no providing medical advice to mental illness without an expertise in, is dangerous advice, most platforms will ban you for that asap. just because you had a “faux-experience with trauma” your siblings had verifiable trauma that need psychiatric help.
