      100% she has a therapist

      Edit: that’s a good thing, but certain therapists and clients can reinforce white PMC lib shit and is just about feeling good now working through actual psychology

        You know it's that reason why I dabbled in introspective jungian psychology mixed with the Mahayana Doctrine of the Bodhisattva (this is way before lobster boy) as a means of working through my own internal problems instead of going to a shrink.

        I'm fairly certain that doing that helped me quite a lot since it kinda coincides with my shift from being a proto-alt right hog to a lib, but I wouldn't say that it's a superior way that I'd suggest to others.

              It's how it worked for me. What is the point of talking if some overpaid fuckin lib dipshit is just gonna go "lol dont be sad lmao"

        If you don't like therapy that's fine for yourself, but telling others is a waste of time is damaging and stigmatizing. Don't be a downer on it when therapy helps many, many people.

          I'm relaying my experience. It didn't work for me, so if anyone ever asks if they should seek out therapy I'll always say "fuck no, there's a thing called weed and The Empire Strikes Back"

                  if all I had was that one chinese place (and chinese food often cost 9 billion dollars and one virgin sacrifice to even afford) then yes, I would assume all chinese food is trash and never eat it again and warn people about it. That's how people work

            Yeah and I'm saying that you're not helping anyone talking people out of therapy and are actively stigmatizing a profession that helps people who aren't you.
