Stigmas About Therapy That Need To Be Put To Rest

Shouldn’t we aspire for more?
The argument that people in third world countries don’t need therapy is absurd. They are too focused on just trying to stay alive. But when people do have their basic physical needs met (shelter, food, water), they can do incredible things. Nobody could be an astronaut, doctor, or scientist if they couldn’t feed themselves. We need to put importance on the protection and nurturing of the human mind, rather than think, “So long as you’re breathing, you shouldn’t complain.” That kind of thinking won’t advance humankind.
