My brother, who never had a struggle in his life, came up with the solution to all mental health problems. "You should get a different mindset". He should get a Nobel price. We can scrap psychology. We just need to get a different mindset. Autism? Mindset. PTSD? Mindset. Depression? Mindset. Personality disorder? Mindset! Boom! I'm cured! I've had years of useless therapy, had over 20 therapists, but my brother is a genius and knows how to fix it in an instant. *longest and deepest sigh possible.
A big issue we have in society is that we're not allowed to feel bad. Whenever someone feels bad in any way, people are panicking and trying to fix it, make someone happy. Accepting someone feels bad and allowing the sadness to be there already helps a lot. Sadness needs to be there too and needs time to process. Cramping it away because everyone needs to be happy all the time only makes everything worse.
Tell him he's technically not wrong, but mindet surgery does not exists and it takes endless effort, time and help to change.
Yeah, it's the same argument as "when your arm is amputated, why not just grow it back?". I mean, sure, that's a great option if you don't want to live without an arm, just an option we don't have with the current tech.
Just splice in some newt DNA
Damn. I've never thought if that. That's genius!
Yes, that's my point.
