Every negative emotion I have, I’m told to go to therapy.

Negative emotions are human!

Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

    Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

      This seems like a testable hypothesis.

      Personally, I’m skeptical that it would offer significant benefits over much cheaper interventions.

        No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.

          right, just guillotine the billionaires and then everyone can have a personal therapist and trainer.

          i see you clearly live in the real world.

            That’s not anywhere close to what I said or even could have been reasonably implying. It was already pretty obvious that you were trolling, but this is just ridiculous.

            Congratulations though, with that level of jumping to conclusions you definitely do not need a personal trainer.

              Yeah, I don’t need one because I can take care of my own workout routines myself.

              Almost as if… not everyone needs therapy either for the minor inconveniences of life…

                Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

                When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.
