I've been doing weekly sessions, mostly on myself, stuff about dad, mom's passing. Anyway she really opened my eyes about how much I play the victim in my life and in doing so blame myself for other's problems. That was really eye opening, she's right, I do victimhood and use it as a shield to stop from getting better.
I think if I can overcome that victimhood mentality I can start reframing my life as one of someone who has survived trauma and accepted it and moved past it. It's kind of funny because like, so much of me, probably the part that fights wants to never forgive people who've harmed me, but in that same token, it's a poison pill I've been swallowing most of my adult life.
I know western therapy is not really viewed favorable in leftist circles, given how it focus solely on personal responsibility and individualism, rather than real systemic changes to society. I figure you gotta start with yourself first then branch out, right? I can totally see how young men with trauma fall for Jordan Peterson's act after being in therapy for a bit. Sadly they don't get advice from actual therapists that aren't quacks.
Fat asses win!
