We put these things into boxes that keep us from seeing what they really are and how they are in competition with each other.

Therapy is many things, and one thing it is, is an ideology.

An ideology in direct competition with organized (especially authoritarian) religion, with capitalism, with fascism, even with whiteness.

Therapy has tried to be compatible with these. It has been dependent upon these and enabled these.

But the further the science pushes it to be fundamentally anti-trauma, the more therapy culture stands in direct opposition to these things.

May it be their undoing.

Honestly, ubiquitous therapy itself is the biggest cultural and moral coup on the status quo, and on religion, specifically authoritarian Christianity.

These two are fundamentally incompatible.

Authoritarianism needs trauma to thrive.

Therapy is starkly anti-trauma in its worldview.
