Laughs from the generation where everybody and their brother installed an amp and a couple of 12-in kickers in their car.

Bought too many avocado toasts, had to sell "the vehicle". What do I do?

That "unlocking your full potential" sounds more like personal coach pseudoscience than actual medical practice, though.
Be sure to go to actual collegiate professionals with a certified degree in psychology or psychiatry.
I don’t disagree with what you said, but most therapists will have a degree in counseling or social work. Psychologists and psychiatrists usually do not work as therapists, although there are exceptions.

Every millennial I know is in therapy.
I do not associate with people who decorate their vehicles that way. I find they act like sociopaths.
Ergo, people who put flags like that on their cars are in need of therapy.
I’ve declared it to be true. Spread the word.
Sociopaths in therapy only learn to become better sociopaths

are millenials turning into boomers now?

Yeah our generation was short of the -68 hippie love generation so we got the sex drugs and rock'n roll decade. Millennials seems so much more at ease with their (bad) feelings.
I mean, the alternative was to crumble.
I mean, fuck. I was just thinking it through -
In the U.S., Most millennials started out in the wake of the war on drugs and the damage it did to communities. From there, you have the racial tension of the 90’s, the death of truth with Fox News, the rise of school shootings, 9/11, the start of the rightward/authoritarian swing of the U.S., the ‘08 recession, citizens united, loss of democracy, COVID, another recession, inflation, housing insecurity, the loss of the illusion of democracy.I remember back in 1999, when I was a kid, hearing folks talk about how in just a few years weed was going to be legal and so was gay marriage. I remember thinking that the future was going to be bright and not some authoritarian hellscape. Now there are license plate readers at the grocery store parking lot.
I mean. If we didn’t know how to manage the feelings we have about the future we were promised and lost, and all the trauma we’ve experienced along the way, I guess we’d all wind up driving Dodge Rams with U.S. Flags on them.

Therapy costs money. What's it gonna do for me that's worth the cost?
Sure, compared to food or shelter it’s in the ‘nice to have’ category. But for me at least it’s shown a lot of things that I would never have understood or probed deeply enough to address. Better relationships, more understanding of self/finding your actual self, handle adversity better, etc etc
You don’t have to sign up for endless sessions, you can quite viably do a few introductory sessions and ask for takeaway homework/tools to use. Return as needed or when you’ve found a new topic that you feel needs work.

No, boomers don't go to therapy because they believe it's for weak people. Millennials don't go to therapy because they can't afford it. Same result, different approaches.

you can still unlock more of your own potential and understand yourself better
Which is why I avoided saying “full potential” like it’s a life panacea and any failure to achieve 100% is your personal failure instead of the program’s.
Yes please only go to board certified professionals for mental health and/or therapy, and please please puhhlease don’t make an LLM or authority figure like a priest your therapist…

Sociopaths in therapy only learn to become better sociopaths
You know, I posted that comment sort of unthinkingly, but you are right.
There’s a book called “Why does he do that? Inside the minds of angry and controlling men” that’s on my reading list. (A good summary of the book is available here)
The author repeatedly highlights exactly the point you brought up - that abusers will wield therapy language to perpetuate their abuse. He instead suggests the only real way to change abusers (who are not necessarily the same as sociopaths, mind you) is to put them in programs tailored to abusers to more or less make them realize how much they need to learn empathy, and equip them with the ability to use that empathy. -

But at least you got the good music in the 90s and early 2000s, Gen X didn't get that, but was born into the hellhole you describe
