Therapy culture has convinced us normal human suffering requires professional intervention


Agree

  • We've medicalized the human condition itself
  • Pain and struggle are essential to growth
  • This creates learned helplessness and dependence
  • Humans evolved to handle adversity naturally

Disagree

  • Mental health is real health that needs treatment
  • This dismisses genuine suffering and illness
  • Professional help accelerates growth and healing
  • Toxic positivity disguised as strength
