Therapy is fucking shit. Help me develop a new school of psychology in this thread.Premises>Modern psychology is about returning dysfunctional people to being cogs in society>Society has existed for only 1/4 of the human genus' existence since 300,000 years ago>Modern one is just 0.6% of that 200 years.>The human condition and its emotions, Happiness, wonder, sorrow, anger, exist without the need of organized society>Animalistic human behavior has to do with forming hierarchies, shaming, violence, rape. These can't be done away from the human condition.>One individual develops from childhood to their present, weaving nerves through experience. Context shapes the human.>Chronic trauma, avoidant behaviors, become basal blocks of personality. They can't be sheared away. They are always felt.>Only way to mask them is to Re-create context. To live the Not-shit life you never got to live. To be shown compassion needed to learn to be compassionate.A support-heavy school of psychology. No "do it yourself" bullshit.What are some activities you would tell yourself to do if you were born again? What are the most forgiving training scenarios that you can imagine? Where can you go be socially retarded and be accepted by a random family?
>>34210730I'm good
>>34210730I'm confused. what aspects are shit? dbt and EMDR have worked super well for me, cbt-i was informative but didn't work for me, the evidence for most therapies is there.
>>34210730Apparently pastoralism was the first mental health treatment
If your new school of psychology help improving working condition, reducing attributions load, stabilize working hours to a reasonable amount, accommodate differently abled people in different professions, foster community services and cultural events as a daily bases and reshape the living space into something that resembles a lived-in city instead of a walled up fort, then you're onto something and I'll gladly help you. I'll quit my job and dedicate my life for that future.Because that's where 97% of modern mental health problems come from.
>>34210824Dunno if it's just me but a lot of that sounds like catholic church.
>>34210730If you don't incentivize disability pay and welfare for life, it'll quickly turn out that there isn't actually much wrong with most people. Who knew that when you offer most people free money for doing nothing, they take every opportunity they can. England did a study that determined that 1/3 adults "can't work" because of everything from "time blindness", "social anxiety", PTSD, ADHD, OCD, autism, and the like. Doctors are incentivized by the same system that pays the "disabled" to have as heavy a "patient" load as possible, so they have every reason to accommodate lazy people as possible. The entire thing turned a temporary safety net system into a lifelong welfare state.Society doesn't need therapy, it needs a boot in its ass. Take away the free money and the excuses and watch how the workforce changes overnight when homelessness motivates hungry people to act normal.
>>34210875Nigga nobody cares about your country, take the whining to /pol/.
>>34210875>Someone please think of the poor multi-billion dollar corporations!keep sucking that boot, cuck.
>>34210862Some of these things the church indeed provides, but they can't fix urban planning, stagnant wages and excessive working hours (sometimes coupled with wage theft)
>>34210730Psychology mainly explains patterns of human behavior and thought and is not about fixing dysfunctional people.How about "Heuristical Psychology"? Something like using cynical non-empirical explanations to explain the modern human mind.
>>34210875Oy vey! Work harder, goyim!
the cure is to dismantle industrial society and 99% of psychological problems will dissolve
>>34210730It exists already and is called psychodynamic therapy. Most therapists are hacks absolutely worshipping cognitive behavioral therapy like it’s the end all of therapies completely missing the fact that it makes a huge assumption about the patient: that they have a point of reference for having direct control and influence over how they react to the world and what they can realistically assume about the world around them.
>>34210730All your thoughts are liesSit with the pain or whatever you are feeling that you are "going to therapy for". Every single feeling always passes eventually. Just be aware of it, sit in silence and let it pass.While sitting in silence, and the feelings pass the truth will come and you know what to do or be honest about whatever that problem is.Also go and forgive your parents. They only did the best they knew how to do. Especially forgive your mother who passed her anxieties and neuroticism onto you that lead you to therapy. And forgive your father rfor not being (there or) strong enough to protect you from her nonsense.
>>34210730Therapy is garbage not because we haven't figured it out yet. It's garbage because philosophy already figured it out to the point of perfection and then a bunch of people in the modern day tried to replace it with psychology. Wisdom is the human vocation and the solution to every problem in life. You aren't going to improve upon the path that puts wisdom first, so what people need to do is wake up and start taking philosophy seriously again as a practice.
