I think attitudes around therapy and emotional well being are changing in the community and I hope it accelerates. There’s a lot of trauma and internalized suffering that people don’t want to address due to fear of being seen as weak or they just don’t have the means to even though they want to address it
This isn’t even exclusive to our community but compounded with all the other things it’s a recipe for disaster
This is a good mother. Teach your children to recognize, express, and cope with their emotions. Emotional health and well being is not a weakness, it is a strength. I’m blessed to have been able to get access to a therapist when I reached adulthood.
One time I was at a Super Bowl party and a little boy started crying. I think he got accidentally hit by another kid or something. Anyway, his dad goes “James why are you crying? Don’t be a pussy. Stop crying like a little pussy.”
It was fucking wild to hear a dad call his 4 year old a pussy for crying.
