Role reversal in the need for therapy
In today’s society, a role reversal has been observed regarding the need for psychological therapy. It is questioned why those with feelings considered ‘normal’ should resort to therapy to cope with those who would truly need it. This situation, far from being exceptional, has become common and worrying.
The perception of therapy as a waste of time and money
Some people dismiss psychological therapy arguing that it is a waste of time and money. They do not understand that the cost of therapy is not limited to the financial, but involves a significant emotional price. This attitude sometimes comes from those who have never sought professional help, either through luck or a lack of need for self-evaluation.
Injustice in access to therapy
It is unfair that those who seek psychological help are often those who need it the least. The refusal of certain people to seek therapy, convinced that they do not need it, creates injustice in access to psychological help. This situation raises questions about equity in access to therapeutic resources.
The importance of empathy and emotional support
Lack of empathy and emotional support can have devastating effects on people. Indifference and lack of recognition can cause deep discomfort. Even a child prefers to face aggression rather than be ignored. It is essential to understand the importance of providing emotional support and recognition to others, especially in delicate situations such as pregnancy loss.
The need for changes in social perception
It is essential to question and change social perception around mental health. Situations that have been normalized, such as the lack of access to therapy for minors or the devaluation of emotions, must be addressed and transformed. Society must recognize the importance of mental health and work towards greater equity in access to therapeutic resources.
