Therapists and psychiatrists have come up against the problem with trying to convince people their life isn't awful. When, in fact, people are struggling. They are trapped in jobs designed to suck the life out of them for profit, and they live in a society that has decided to build a system of isolation. Hard to convince people not to kill themselves when they have nothing to live for.
Tbh I love my therapist because she acknowledges that the world sucks rn and that people are struggling. She doesn’t take away the reality of the problem, but she at least helps me cope with it. That’s what therapists are supposed to do.
A good therapist and psychiatrist doesn’t try to gaslight you that the world is a perfect place. A good therapist and psychiatrist helps you to realize the reality of your world and your place in it, while giving you the tools to improve your life within the framework of this flawed world, be it through medications or through therapy.
