It's not your life bro, it's their life and their choice to see a counselor. Besides what makes you qualified to tell someone whether they should or shouldn't seek therapy?
I never said that. I don't believe it's for everyone. Bro.
Yes there are times where people need to talk to someone & I agree with that but we're not therapists here we're people trying to share each others life experiences & maybe offer a different point of view,
Like experiences have taught me a lot & helped me get over not all but some of the issues I have or had. People like me can't afford a $100.00 an Hr & that's fine too. I would think that some people have no issues & go to talk just because they are lonely much like people who come on here a lot. They just want to talk to someone. I have PTSD do to the way I was brought up & having to live on the streets as a kid but I had to overcome that some people are stronger then others some needs are deeper as well.
But to go to a therapists because much like some go to a Dr because they always feel sick isn’t right then again maybe that's a sickness in itself. The mind is a wonderful & powerful thing & people overcame things long before therapists came along perhaps society has a whole had got soft.
I WANT to say that your post about "some idiot on a couch" is one of the dumbest, most prejudicial things I've read on here. But I'm not gonna, because I can see from other stuff you"ve written here that it's just ignorance. Just because you've never done something doesn't mean it's not a legitimate source of help for others.
Professional therapists studied psychology in college for many years. They are trained to know what they are talking about. It is NOTHING like posting on a forum, but it doesn't mean that someone who's had therapy isn't perfectly qualified to suggest that someone else may benefit from it.

Sorry that’s like saying that were all the same person when were not. What works for 50 might not work for 100 people. And if that's the dumbest thing you have ever heard then you need to get out more. So what did people do believe shrinks came around? I bet your great grand parents didn't go to one & neither did mine. Everyone is always taking about having this or that issue when it fact SOME are looking for pity or looking for attention these days. Life is too tough or they can't handle the stress of working for a living So they want to over medicate with drugs because their parents were tough on them from time to time. Some people don't need to I'm not talking about people who have REAL mental issues I really don't give a crap if you don't agree with my post or not it's good to know there are people like you who know everything. I might not agree with peoples post or thoughts but I'm not going to sink to your level & call them stupid because I don't agree with them. But more power to you. Don't like my post then don't read them it's that damn simple.
Been reading these threads and seem to run into a common theme on here when people are giving other people advice. Instead of saying to go pray or talk to family I mainly see people advising others to go see a counselor which in my world does not compute because most people in my path are like me, lower-income or struggling middle class. I have never had friends or co-workers in my life who have said they resort to seeing a counselor for their problems. How many of you actually talk to a counselor when you have issues? How many of you just tell people to see one just because it makes you sound like a responsible person in front of other posters on here?
One form of counseling people here commonly suggest is marriage counseling. That's can be had for free, for those who belong to a church. Some cities subsidize counseling for low-income people (Berkeley, CA, for one).

My great-grandfather used to poop outside in an outhouse, too, but we dont do that anymore either.
Society evolves. Science advances.
And don't worry, it wasn't the dumbest thing I'd EVER heard; just the dumbest thing I'd read on CD.

That's saying a lot, BTW.
NO people dealt with things in thier own way they didn't whine about every little thing under the sun. AGAIN seeing that your having trouble getting what I am saying don't like what I have to say then DON'T read what I post end of story.

BTW you might want to get out more often.
Um, yeah, and back then it was perfectly acceptable by the standards of many for them to go home and deal with instead by beating their wife and kids or their animals. My grandfather was a chief of police back in the 40s and 50s - the stories my dad tells are pretty interesting. Drinking one's self into oblivion to cope with problems wasn't even that outre, as long as you shoved it under the rug.
People didn't "whine" about things as you put it - but they sure found some ugly ways to cope.
It's not that what your saying is so distasteful, it's that your perception of reality is so warped.
"The good old days" were not the halcyon era of self-reliance and sanity you seem to think they were. My Pop is 81 and the youngest of his particular branch of his family - he had me late in life and I grew up with a lot of old-timers. I remember a lot of stories with unhappy endings that didn't have to turn out that way.
