Summary

Therapy has gone from being a stigma to becoming a social norm. COVID-19 is partly the cause of this. All that paranoia and isolation. That social experiment where we all journeyed into the cave. Around 13 percent of adults have sought therapy. And in some ways it’s never been better. We have tele-health from the comfort of our homes. Online therapy groups. And just about every flavor of self-help imaginable. In a lot of ways, it’s a good thing. Society is reflecting. But some argue this may also represent a different trend – that maybe we’re becoming so used to digging up past harms that we’re re-living old traumas again and again.
