Can't really blame them
My previous therapist: Is capitalism in the room with us right now? Maybe there's problems but it's the best system we have!! I don't want communism, then everyone else gets paid the same as me!!!
Current therapist: is a landlord (but otherwise decent at the therapy job as long as I tiptoe around that)
Therapy would be so much better if the therapists were not trained to dismiss anything unrelated to your own subjective way of thinking about your problems. There are so many objective problems caused by capitalism leading thousands of people to depression and anxiety, but all therapists are allowed to say is how to cope with them and deal with them as if they're personal failings rather than systemic issues.
Real therapy should also include revolutionary thought besides coping, if you can't be happy under this system then at least chanel that anger right back at it, join your union, take part in protests etc.
Agreed. I recently decided to give therapy another go. I've only seen this person twice now but I'm rather optimistic about him (going in not expecting much) because he brought up of his own volition how important socio-economic issues are and how he wished more therapists put a focus on that. He's also expressed his own concerns about the current political environment, confidentiality, etc.
Point being, he was quick to not only agree with me but also give examples of outside economic and social factors designed to beat you down. That gives me confidence he is actually interested, not just going through the motions of helping one cope.
Fair play but you know no profession could exist under capitalism telling people that their bosses and landlords dangling their well-being on front of them could use some help not being removed. Bourgeois culture already maligns therapists by incident, it'd bury them if 5% of therapists started suggesting fighting for strategic change.
Is capitalism in the room with us right now?
Capitalism is currently the substrate for all human society. It might as well be the Higgs field so yes it is
My previous therapist: Is capitalism in the room with us right now?
are you billing me for this time?
bleak
Honestly way easier then real people
Talking to human therapists is expensive so I just trauma dump on my friends instead.
How would they know that unless they are saving chat logs?
