Here’s my thing with therapy. I know the issue, i know what’s wrong with me, and I know what I’m supposed to do to fix it, i just don’t. I can’t see how therapy will help beyond what I’ve got

Depends on the kind of "lost at sea"
In a perfectly functioning oceanworthy boat stocked with food, but the GPS fell overboard and I have no idea where I am so I'm going to sail West as much as I can until I hit land, then sail counter-clockwise around the coast until I find something I can identify or someone I can ask? Sure let's go.
Ship sank, I'm alone in an inflatable raft with a flare gun and a blinkenlight? Nah you go ahead.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You can talk about why you dont want to fix it. Maybe there's something there. Sometimes there's just a hump you need to get over and wont unless you push yourself.
If not you can kind of live in that space for a while and see if the barrier is even real in the first place.

Ill still sign up. Rafty and Flare Gunny sound like great new friends and we would have all sorts of adventures.

This is therapy. if I could just drop out of everything for 29 days I’d come back refreshed and Zen as fuck.
Isn’t that called vacation? Just don’t bring any communications device

Therapy doesn't help much if you have no power over the root cause

I can think of two adventures you'll be going on a lot: Sunburn and wave slosh. Meh.

Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I'd be down for making that an annual tradition.

"men hate therapy"
Yeah not really. You just get beaten down after trying several therapists and paying a lot and not feeling better. Even if you went through that once, it's very discouraging.
Not to mention it just doesn't work as well for men as it does for women.

Cant forget about dehydration, starvation, sepsis, and hysteria!

I lack the photoshop skills, but uh
The 'plap plap GET PREGNANT' meme, but with a therapist shouting:
'accept what you can't change'
'don't blame yourself for things out of your control'
'oh, the copay is $125'
'you missed the last appointment so we charged you for not canceling in advance'
'im worried you're not taking our sessions seriously'
sorry psych professionals, there is no ethical therapy under capitalism

Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don't like society. It just sees me as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.

I don't know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I'm in the US, and yes I'm jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

You do realize that is a comedy site, right?
But that's the only nonpartisan site I could find!

I have a great therapist these days who has helped me a lot. I still hate therapy. I did finally figure out why, though. Because, with the exception of therapy and a couple of really great people, everyone I've ever been vulnerable in front of has weaponized it against me. So even though I know my therapist wouldn't actually do that I'm still waiting on it to come back and bite me.
Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y'all women don't have a good track record in my book.

Just goes to show how insane society has become that you'd rather go to therapy than take a 29 day break by being lost at sea.
Society hasn't become that bad. It's becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.

That's about 1 standard stint in rehab where I'm from

Yeah, the weaponization factor is real.
