I see this as a modern phenomenon and it's infuriating to me. They either like to spend money or believe it's an end all be all silver bullet to solve interpersonal issues.

Why don't I ever hear them encourage men to maintain their long term friendships, keep in touch with their family, find a fulfilling hobby, volunteer, or go to church? It seems like when men get into serious long term relationships or marriage they LOSE their relationships and let the women dictate their socialization. I've seen it many times to varying degrees.

I'm not against therapy but I don't think most people need it and instead of paying a person to listen to you every week I think a man's time would be best served by doing an activity with friends, loved ones, or finding a fulfilling hobby.

My cousin has been going for 2 years and from what she tells me about it, it helps people get information from a neutral source.
It isn't your biased friends, your biased parents, your biased wife/gf, it is this neutral dr. with insights on right vs wrong.
At least that is what i take from her advice.

But yes - if you meet a woman that takes meds and is into therapy, more than like your kids will be put into therapy and on meds.

Makes sense. I just see it IMO over prescribed as though it will solve everything. I could see it helping some people though at certain phases of their life.

When my father died I talked to a priest more and went to church more.

In my case it was about gaslighting me into thinking I had tons of issues that were creating the problems in our relationship. It backfired hard though since the therapist explained that I was fine but that my ex had a serious personality disorder that was likely going to ruin my life.

Its good to know correct thinking patterns & understanding emotions ect. Brahs think therapy fixes you, nah it gives you tools to make everything easier. Alot of people are ****ed up till they die & feel unescecary negative emotion. People build a personality of coping mechanisms & never reach their full potential

You sound conflicted, and I think you’d feel better if we can address any issues you feel deep down inside. Don’t be afraid, you can open up to us.








Not fkn srs. Women are too emotional and we should never have allowed them to vote.

I agree with everything you've said.

Imo, I think a part of the reason is that most women genuinely have no understanding of how males experience emotion or the fact that males can experience are emotions as intensely as females do. Females have the luxury of being expressive of their emotions without judgement while males have to temper themselves to avoid labels such as sensitive, sassy, zesty, reactive, feminine, etc.

Another reason is that many of these women are being disingenuous from the start and just default to "go to therapy" because it's an easy way for them to avoid their own accountability.


EDIT: I believe therapy does have its place and it isn't completely useless. The problem is that people go to therapists to help them introspect instead of doing it themselves prior. Therapy is near useless if you can't hold yourself accountable.

Therapy doesn't work for male problems. If you are sexually frustrated is she going to suck your dick? If you are lonely will he set you up with his daughter? No. If you say, you don't get pom pom, they will tell you to just get a hobby lmao.

OP I think it depends on the therapist. When I was in the throws of a pain medicine addiction in my early 20's, I had an absolutely fantastic MALE therapist who encouraged all of the healthy things above you mentioned. Ex: maintain and develop healthy friendships with good men, keep in touch with family (if you have a healthy family), find healthy interests that keep you busy, volunteer, go to church for the community, etc.

But one thing is for sure, therapy is only helpful if you have a good therapist and you have to want to be there. Otherwise, it's a complete waste.

When my father died I talked to a priest more and went to church more.
Ahh my dad died too, and i could have used something to help.

It is meant to be temporary, and to shine a spot light on an area and come up with options to improve life.
In my cousins case her mom fkd her up with constant criticisms about her weight, size and god know what else.

"over prescribed as though it will solve everything."

Well if you do not get advice from a neutral source, then can friends and family be neutral and listen for an hour?
I cant get anyone to stay off technology and focus for an hour,lol.

Probably because you’re 40+ years with no wife or kids but 90k posts on a bb forum and obsessed with losers like Kevin Samuels

I’d recommend therapy for any man like that too

The problem with them is they should have never been granted rights and have the ability to express their opinions. Islam has had it right this whole time. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

There are very few men in psychotherapy. Wish there were more because I do see value in it, but sometimes it's seen as a catch all for men and assume we all have the same problems. I for example had a stable home and *knock on wood* not self destructive. I do have some concerns around existentialism, my meaning, etc. I wouldn't be against finding a good male therapist for certain things though. I just think people act like it's a magic bullet.

Amen!

I also think men need more opportunities to bond with one another. Unfortunately I see that diminish when work life and family obligations occur. The problem is we suffer higher rates of depression and suicide so IMO instead of women encouraging therapy more should say go hang out with your friends!

I've had much more healing experiences with prostitutes than therapists. A woman's touch is healing magic. Her words are poison. Andrew Tate is the one who helped me the most.

Ah you mean specifically anti depressants. I would agree with you then. Thought you meant just all modern medicine in general.
