On the couch: the broken taboo of therapy
Happiness, or rather the lack of it, has been getting a lot of attention recently. Every week yet another article is printed on the rise of depression: for a nation that was once characterized by its stiff-upper lip, it seems the emotional flood-gates have finally opened. Personally, I would say it is not a moment too soon. As much as we have mocked the American culture of compulsive-therapy, it has to be said that the British approach of “dealing with it on your own” doesn’t exactly seem to have worked out. And I speak from experience as a person who resisted “the couch”, convinced like so many others, that I could deal with my fears and anxieties alone, only to realise once I’d suddenly hit rock bottom that this wasn’t really the case. Because the truth is that those little niggling feelings, the fears you convince yourself are silly that you can keep a cap on, have a tendency to only get bigger when kept to oneself.
But I have family and friends- why on earth would I need to pay to have someone to listen to me?
Thinking of it?
