Mark Manson healing - several -
Until relatively recently, the field of psychology mostly studied the ways in which trauma ****ed us up. And it makes sense why psychologists thought this for so long.
When starting out 100+ years ago, as a “quack science,” initially it was only the most desperate and disturbed who resorted to seeking psychiatric help.4 Mainstream people with mainstream problems didn’t go see shrinks because it was still something stigmatized as embarrassing or shameful (and still kind of is).
As a result, the first 50 years or so of psychological/psychiatric practices dealt with the really hard cases. You know, schizophrenics, manic depressives, suicidal people, and so on.
Fair warning - Mark does use colourful language on occasion so you might go elsewhere if that offends you. I usually don't like such language ... but this is somehow "different"
