A very interesting point in this article is the source. One would think that the respondents who took the poll are more connected to the world of therapy. A possible lesson from these statistics is that therapy is creating less resilience, less healing and more pain in subsequent generations. Parenting skills have increased in kindness/choices/emotional development/etc and yet our culture’s respect for parenting has significantly decreased at the same time that our use of/respect for therapy increased exponentially. Sadly, just like the word abuse and trauma are so watered down now that everyone is “abused” and has ptsd (we hear this in everyday language as a joke) and is narcissistic (instead of just “spoiled” or other adjectives that are probably more fitting), we may find that therapy becomes associated with unnecessary division, watering down its effectiveness to heal.
