Why are female writers obsessed with therapy

that's all foids know from years of experience in a psych ward and being manic depressive and bipolar

It's not just female writers, there's a bunch of people that are essentially therapy cultists that claim absolutely everyone should see a therapist and that's magically fix all their problems.

>>714859847 (OP)
Because finding out they can pay another person to shut up and listen is to women what paying a girl to shut up and suck their dicks is to men

>>714859847 (OP)
They like the rapists

>>714859847 (OP)
better question is why are you still watching this shit

>>714859847 (OP)
Current trend among people 20-40 years old is going for therapy for basically everything. Female writers are known for being especially social and "on with trends" so of course they are familiar with the concept and very supportive of it. Meanwhile many young people, especially so called "Z generation" expect source of their problems to exist outside rather than inside so they actually want their therapist to tell them they are victims of society/their parents/whoever. If not, they get different therapists.

Many reasons
>The ultimate authority figure is actually a female (often the case with therapists)
>It implies their preferred way of "dealing" with "issues" is the best one.
>Also promotes that everyone needs constant validation and is emotionally immature, which aligns with the worldview of many insecure women. Stating that their failures aren't their own but just consequences of their environment/family/boyfriend/friends etc.

It's no wonder there's been such a boom of shit like
>Narcissism
Being thrown around, it's pretty much the same issue.

"write what you know"

The modern world is undergoing a mental health crisis, and people are constinuously told that the solution is to pay someone hundreds of dollars an hour so they can listen to you vent and give generic advice in return.

These people didn't even go to med school, it's fucking pseudo science.

because you, OP, need it

>>714859847 (OP)
Women need someone to rant at, and when they don't have a boyfriend they are willing to pay someone just to listen to them...
Tha's kinda sad when you think about it

>>714860458
As an addendum, the other major problem is that many people are so chronically lonely that any "acceptable" avenue for talking is seen as a positive.

So you have these girls going all
>Eww, can you believe it that someone pays girls money to, like, just cuddle with them and have like, pretend dates?
And then pay insane amounts of money to therapists so they can yes-woman them for hours when they go on and on about their inane daily lives and worries.

They're trying to pretend that they understand other human beings.

Women love being pampered, they love being heard, regardless of what they are saying (hence modern feminism). This is a trait most commonly applied to the political 'left', but it is mostly found in women. Gay (or otherwise effeminate) men also feel the same, and are becoming more and more common as famlies turn from mother and father to mother OR father (generally the former).

We also have a mental health crisis, and the increased strain on normies has led to many seeking therapy. I feel therapy is only applicable to people who cant think for themselves, and instead have to be 'told' how to feel, otherwise mileage is heavily dependent on just what is wrong with whomever.

Therapy has successfully cultivated a kind of nouveau atmosphere where you're not "crazy" for going to it, but a tasteful, sensitive, put-together, kind of individual. There's an element of a "humble brag" to it, but then it also kind of serves the same purpose religion used to have where you'd go vent to a priest or a shaman about what an unhinged retard you are, pay them, and then run off to go build up more shit.

The entire culture/atmosphere around it is retarded and unhealthy.
People in the past were forced to see therapists, and it was ugly and there was abuse. They'd hypnotise you, electrocute you, sometimes they'd just give up and have you lobotomized. Bad scene.
People in the recent past "got to" go to therapists and it began to kind of cultivate a culture of, "you'd lay on a couch and cry to a soft spoken Jewish man or middle-aged educated woman about how work sucks or your dad hit you too often too hard" and people opened up to the sitcom depiction of a therapist and kind of abandoned the idea that you're supposed to go to one to get better and not keep seeing one for fucking decades.

Simple, writer's self insert.

Therapy helps weak minded individuals cope. Not everyone is stable, or had an easy life, but many are mentally weak due to the state of humanity as a whole. Therapy allows for a grown adult to cry and complain like they are still a child, and it works. Reduces stress and whatever, but at the same time dampens the incentive to solve their own problems, either making them want more therapy or forcing them to learn to cope properly.

Therapy is so disgusting man, I'd rather just talk to myself at that point.
It just seems like that one manga the dude renting a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend, but you're paying someone to pretend to care about your feelings, AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT.
How is that socially acceptable man?? I don't get it.

Higher emotional intelligence

There is this thing that you need and I know that it's going to sound horrible but I don't mean it that way
You need to be easy to manipulate to go to therapy, not dumb just easy to manipulate because what is actually happening is that a person who only listens to you for 40 minutes a week and couldn't give less of a shit of you drop dead is telling you that they have the solution to your problem and truth is that's fucking ridiculous so when you stop and think about it therapy won't work
At best they can motivate you to do something that you could have done by yourself if you wanted to and having a family or at least some friends who cared about you would have worked 100 times better but most people don't
It's just reaffirmation, speaking to a mirror and people are scared about using ai as therapy when in reality if si models had enough memory they would do a better job than any therapist could, imagine having something that could pretend to care about your well being 24/7 and is always willing to help you out

Its one of the few places where women have power over men and my god do they abuse the fuck out of it and turn mental illness into manipulation opportunities

Having therapy sessions in a narrative is an easy way of getting characters to outright say what their motives/emotions are about any given thing without it just being a stupid exposition dump, it's part of why the sopranos is so good

nothing to do with female writers

The /v/ mods are so beaten down that they can't even detect off topic threads unless it's porn.

goyim lost, jews won

>>714859847 (OP)
they enjoy doing therapy themselves, so their mind wanders to the topic when writing things

>>714861371
Not true, they're great at snuffing out on-topic video games they happen to dislike

And here we see why males are killing themselves at a skyrocketing rate because you don't understand anything. Therapy is fucking great and helps millions of people. The worst part is that the males that cause people to become stressed out and burnout aren't being seen as the problem. You know, the 1% that controls the economy? They are the issue. Why have 5 people working to make sure things are running smoothly when you can instead fire 4 people and work people into the ground? That's the male disgusting thoughts that cause all of the issues in society.

y'all need therapy...

There's actually been a rise of people becoming dependent on LLMs as virtual therapists and the like.

The funniest is when you have some schizo think they've unlocked the secrets of the universe, or some wannabe entrepreneur thinking that they've got the key to getting rich quick, all thanks to the AI just being affirming and friendly.

>Yes, that's a splendid idea!
>That's a very deep thought!
>You have a rich imagination!
