Therapy can help people develop effective communication skills for self-advocacy, and emotion regulation skills to stay calm under pressure.
Therapy can help people notice things they didn’t notice before that might improve their thoughts/outlook, and better understand both themselves and others.
It can help people to clarify and organize their priorities, and improve motivation and increase the rate of progress toward their goals.
A good therapist (usually of the social worker variety, ime) will help you navigate and pursue resources via government, NGOs, and even local mutual aid networks
Therapists act as agents of social control in that we’re pushed as the solution to problems which actually have systemic causes, but therapy doesn’t have to be inherently oppressive
No pills or therapy you can take that solves poverty.
No pills or therapy that solves a political slip into fascism.
No pills or therapy that fix people mistreating you for something you were born with.
No pills or therapy that give you more rights that a government refuses to give.
Only pills and therapy to mask your feelings to be a productive worker drone for the spiral of ants.
