Başvurunu YapWhy is everyone obsessed with therapy

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?
And how are all these people affording it?
-
Sounds like something you should talk over with a therapist.
I'm pretty sure the sarcasm in your comment was totally lost on most people who modded you up. And just for that, have a mod point 🙂

You must be an American
Yup, that's my context. Are therapists on public retainer in your country?
edit: haha yeah, 5 downvotes to 1 for this. definitely some emotions on display here.

People don’t see your emotions. They see your behavior. They hear what you say, observe your actions and reactions, and from that they decide if they want to suggest therapy or not.
I don’t know if you need therapy or not because I’ve never met you in person. But if a large number of people you encounter suggest you seek out a therapist, it’s not because of anything you felt. It’s because of something you said or did. And you may be wise to reflect on those moments when they happen.

The last one I saw was.

your sister probably had a wildly different experience than you did.
How could you possibly know that? Do you know my sister?
We talked about it you know. Rather extensively. We met the same people at around the same time and went through the same kinds of shenanigans.
You think you know more than you do.
You're taking my examples as if I'm telling you I know for sure what you both went through.
I'm trying to get you to have a more open mind about different people having different experiences even if the circumstances are really similar.

Cool. That's sort of better... but it might not be, really.
For instance, you'd think commisions are bad because they push salespeople to sell you things you don't need. So you'd think NOT having commissions are GOOD; but that is marketing, because every salesperson has metrics and goals, and if they don't meet them, there are consequences.
Source: Worked at Best Buy, where customers were so happy that we didn't take commission but didn't know that our supervisors would chew us out if we didn't sell a membership or get a credit card application.
So it depends on how the system is implemented.

The same reason folks pay someone else to do their yard work, clean their car, or doordash every meal.
They don't want to do the emotional work, so they pay someone else to do it for them.
And the folks who pay other people to do this stuff, can't fathom doing any of it themselves. And they look down on people who do it themselves as subhuman.
-
And how are all these people affording it?
they either have money, or don't save any money, or both.
the most pro therapy people I met, are the poor little rich person type. As in living paycheck to paycheck but still getting $5000 handouts form mom and dad every couple of months and are in constantly mental agony over a lot of first world problems, that 90% of the rest of the population would be jealous of having.

Are you American? As a European, it seems that Americans are obsessed with therapy, whereas I don't think it's at all common over here.
That is a bad thing. While therapy can't solve every problem, it can solve a lot. That American's can admit to using therapy means we can get the help we need when needed. I don't know how, but Europe needs to fix their culture and get people the help they need, not be smug in the "we don't need it" attitude which harms those who need help.

It's a rich American thing.
poor Americans don't have access to therapy. it's a luxury good, like travel.
and the people who tell you you have to have travel 3x a year are the same ones who think you must have a therapist.

everyone could benefit from a personal trainer too!
should everyone have personal trainers?

Therapy isn’t “just for negative emotions” in the same way the doctor isn’t just for dealing with the occasional common cold.
If you’re being told to see the doctor all the time, and you’re being dismissive of it without a reason past knee jerking, maybe hear them out? You’re positing this openly online so I think you’re already considering this.
-
It kind of depends if your negative emotions are grounded in reality or if they're grounded in past trauma/cognitive distortions.
The very strong tendency of therapy is to assume the latter despite evidence of the former.
Society has completely lost its ability to deal with any personal/spiritual/psychological/social issues outside the context of professional talk therapy.
Let me introduce you to toxic positivity:
That’s only one form of therapy there’s a whole field and multiple disciplines within it, including the stuff you just talked about

The Sopranos, when mother soprano finds out Tony has been seeing a therapist
"Therapy?, don't you know that's a racket for the jews?" -

Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

Thereapy is expensive actually, it takes a lot of "resources," which is to say money.

I didn't mention a therapy.

Conflating therapists with sales people is a real good indicator that you need therapy.
Not knowing whether public healthcare has good outcomes is one hell of an ignorant take.

Therapy is helpful, but you don't need to go for everything, just like you wouldn't go to the doctor every time you have a cold or allergies.
