The problem is so many people online preach about therapy but view it as a moral thing. Like as a thing that's meant to fix the person you have a problem with who is broken in some manner. And that's the most important thing to unlearn if you ever want to actually view people in a humane light.

#stop pathologizing everything #stop telling someone you dont like to get therapy #stop throwing around the words you learn in therapy like its a gospel you can spread to a bunch of sinners #stop spreading eugenics in a new trenchcoat every couple yearz #i say this as a practicing clinician who genuinely believes everyone could benefit from therapy if they are willing to give it a shot #you cannot force it on someone and expect it to be successful.#you cannot guilt someone into it and expect them to change according to how you think they should be #you cannot stop caring as soon as someone is in therapy as if they arent your problem anymore #therapy is not about morality #its about increasing happiness and decreasing suffering #full stop.#you dont get to determine what someone else's mental health journey looks like #none of this is cohesive I'm just in a weird headspace tonight
