But your parents are a microcosm of your experience, not all parents are like that. And the (while I don't know them), maybe they aren't a problem, but you think they need therapy, in the same way that kids that mess around don't automatically have ADHD.
I see them replaying their issues over and over with never coming to any lessons learned.
And, I see people going to therapy over and over, yet there is no change in them, other than their opinions of themselves. Perhaps the therapy is turning them into your parents?
I think to myself well...maybe these trained individuals know some methods and ways to help me cope with stuff.
Perhaps they do, but do they always? Therapy isn't some kind of magic, it isn't something that just fixes all those broken feelings, but it has become another consumer item, another way to buy a cork to fill the void, and actually avoid dealing with the real causes.
Is life hard, or have we made it seem much harder than it needs to be? Has all this split-focus, attention-grabbing platforms we engage with made our lives better, or were they better earlier? Think about your own life and where you are likely the most at peace, which is probably your garden, not in front of the screen. It is not that the screen is bad and the garden is where you should spend all your time, but it illustrates how our surroundings affect our minds, behaviors and feelings. And if that same environment teaches us to be impatient, to be combative, to be uncaring for the wellbeing of society or others in an attempt to maximize ourselves, where does it lead? The vast majority of us need people, need love, yet we live in ecosystems where these connections aren't made.
Maybe I am just feeling like I pay attention but I am not.
I think that this is a problem for all of us, because what we have been trained to pay attention to, is largely useless for our own wellbeing, and that of others who would be part of a healthy society.
