Therapy Culture: Healing or Hiding?

Open to everyone. Respect required.
_________
Somewhere along the way, therapy stopped being a private healing tool…
and started becoming a badge of honor.
“I’m in therapy.”
“I’ve done the work.”
“My therapist says…”
________
In today’s culture, going to therapy can feel like proof that you’re self-aware, evolved, emotionally intelligent.
But here’s the real questions:
Is therapy helping us connect — or helping us feel superior?
Is it helping us grow, or helping us stay comfortable?
___________
Therapy language is everywhere:
“Boundaries.”
“Triggers.”
“Trauma.”
“Narcissist.”
“Gaslighting.”
___________
These words were meant to create awareness.
But what happens when awareness turns into identity?
When accountability gets replaced with diagnosis?
When discomfort gets labeled as abuse?
When personal responsibility gets outsourced to a professional opinion?
____________
This event is not anti-therapy.
It’s pro-growth.
__________
We’re going to explore:
• The difference between healing and self-justification
• When therapy empowers you — and when it enables you
• How “boundaries” can quietly become avoidance
• Why labeling others can block self-reflection
• The fine line between validation and victimhood
• How to use therapy tools without losing ownership of your life
