When I was younger, my parents and my school felt I needed therapy and counselling. The professionals were of no use to me. I hated public school so much that I rushed through it, to get it over with. At 16 years of age I was attending university, working a job and travelling on my own to international events. By seventeen, I was financially independent, I had moved out into my own apartment, and drove my own vehicle. Young people are not doing things like this nowadays. The "therapy" that worked for me was to get out in the world: fishing, hiking, travelling, organic gardening, board games, camping, bicycle touring around many different countries. Just leave those idiot "professionals" behind and never look back! And never, never, never take their pills. The whole world is waiting for you!.....

So because you ended up okay, due to your circumstances being completely different from everyone else, that just immediately means professionals aren't useful. You must be so tired from having the planet revolve around you all day.

Theory: What happens when a philosophy of Good Intentions is unquestioned, unchecked, and worshipped religiously? It started 30-40 years ago when children in grade school and high school were encouraged to find community projects to work on: soup kitchens, cleaning up parks/beaches, delivering food to needy, etc. It slowly morphed into creating an admissions resume for college around helping. Colleges capitalizing on this began challenging/asking students, “What are you going to do to change the world?” Many of those college students upon graduation as teachers took this doctrine of unchecked-good intentions-social change/justice into the 1-12 grade classrooms not as instructors but as counselors. Hence, teaching a subject isn’t the mission, ESL (Social, Emotional, Learning) is. Teachers literally should not care about the mental health of children unless there’s an obvious problem or parents bring it up. The emphasis of how a child is feeling pits the teacher against the parents, and turns an independent, resilient child into one in search of adult approval/affirmation. If one opposes The Good Intention Model, one is labeled uncaring. Your intentions are questioned, because superficially you don’t line up with Good Intentions and thusly oppose the ESL orthodoxy. Teachers need to understand this in its simplest terms: they are TEACHERS not SAVIORS.

Empathy is often just narcissism in disguise.

You should also invite John Rosemond, the parenting expert (or: counter-expert) that has no problem using authority and is very critical to his colleagues and the psychologe community. He has very practical solutions for parents, leading them to trust themselves better.

She supports a neoliberal ethos that has caused this, and now she wants them to just give themselves a shake and snap out of it. Just incredible.
