Now that I’ve caught you with the clickbait title,
Basically every post has included some form of toxic self-hate, minus one or two mentioning exercise. While I do like being able to confront these in the first place, the purported goals and name of this community gives people who are giving the exact wrong advice far too much credibility, and the last thing these people need is a comment with the most upbears regurgitating individualistic self-help concepts at them.
If we’re going to keep this sort of community around, I suggest doing some serious research and basing it off of DBT, and integrating serious critiques of CBT style mental healthcare and improvement.
I am just some random nerd who is terrible at self-improvement at general, so I understand taking this with some serious doubt. But I just had to get this off my chest.

Oh yeah, the ideology that ranges from “Self-Actualization Magic” at its most obviously fake to “Go To Therapy” At it’s most insidious
Yeah. And since therapy is barely regulated in the us there are tons of quakcs there, too. It’s kind of a mess to negotiate.
Death to America
What’s insidious about suggesting people go to therapy if they have the means?
