However, OP already stated that:
"all therapy is bad, never seek professional help for your problems" stuff, which I think is disastrous advice."
So what I think they mean is that from the perspective of the long suffering person trying out different therapists without success (not from OP's perspective), therapy seems like "kumbaya bullshit" because it hasn't solved their problems. Therefore, it might be unfair to say that such individuals generally tend towards pseudo scientific attitudes out of a place of arrogance (like killionaire god emperor m*sk).
Based on what I've seen irl and online, I'd say that such sentiments in this case moreso may come from a place of despair and suffering, not so much arrogance nor shilling of snake oil, especially if the person has tried therapy before in good faith. Not saying that shitheads and "Just X bro"-scientist roganites don't exist though, because you absolutely do describe a widespread and life-threatening tendency especially among men, but it may not apply to this specific case that OP mentioned earlier.
That is beyond horrifying. My condolences.
:doomjak: no words beyond "NO"
thats very understandable and such tendencies are undoubtedly harmful, may you find peace on the farm with the family
I’m really sorry you went through that, and my intention wasn’t to minimize your experiences. I’m merely saying what I did out of personal experience and a sense of desperation.
