Popular therapy doesn’t understand people

From Had Enough Therapy?

“For decades, Mr. Bonanno has studied the side of trauma usually blocked from public view: the repeatedly validated discovery that the great majority of people who undergo a traumatic experience—9/11, devastating grief, violent encounters, natural disasters—recover over time, without therapy. They certainly have short-term distress, and this makes them feel frightened and vulnerable, but over time these strong emotions subside. These individuals, by definition, are not seen by therapists, who thus incorrectly conclude that where there is grief, trauma and loss, almost everyone will need help to recover. Therapists are blind to the default human response: resilience.”

If you don’t take a survey, you are not part of the count. If you’ve never had therapy, the professionals don’t include you in their findings. My wife’s answer to depression and such: Get off your rear end. Go out of the house. Do something.
