Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don't like society. It just sees me as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.
therapy costs money
Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I'd be down for making that an annual tradition.

As someone in n therapy. Sure, yes. Its not great.
Depends on the kind of "lost at sea"
In a perfectly functioning oceanworthy boat stocked with food, but the GPS fell overboard and I have no idea where I am so I'm going to sail West as much as I can until I hit land, then sail counter-clockwise around the coast until I find something I can identify or someone I can ask? Sure let's go.
Ship sank, I'm alone in an inflatable raft with a flare gun and a blinkenlight? Nah you go ahead.
Ill still sign up. Rafty and Flare Gunny sound like great new friends and we would have all sorts of adventures.
I can think of two adventures you'll be going on a lot: Sunburn and wave slosh. Meh.
Cant forget about dehydration, starvation, sepsis, and hysteria!
Hereβs my thing with therapy. I know the issue, i know whatβs wrong with me, and I know what Iβm supposed to do to fix it, i just donβt. I canβt see how therapy will help beyond what Iβve got
You can talk about why you dont want to fix it. Maybe there's something there. Sometimes there's just a hump you need to get over and wont unless you push yourself.
If not you can kind of live in that space for a while and see if the barrier is even real in the first place.
I think I'd rather be lost at sea than be anywhere near any portion of our current civilization.
This is therapy. if I could just drop out of everything for 29 days Iβd come back refreshed and Zen as fuck.
Isnβt that called vacation? Just donβt bring any communications device ;)
I don't know many people that can afford a 29 day vacation (I'm in the US, and yes I'm jealous of what I hear about European benefits)

It seems that being a castaway is preferable to dystopia. https://thedailytism.com/autistic-man-stranded-on-desert-island-asks-rescue-team-for-a-couple-more-weeks/
You do realize that is a comedy site, right?
But that's the only nonpartisan site I could find!
"men hate therapy"
Yeah not really. You just get beaten down after trying several therapists and paying a lot and not feeling better. Even if you went through that once, it's very discouraging.
Not to mention it just doesn't work as well for men as it does for women.
Please say why it is that you believe that. It's a fascinating claim.
What??
Agreed. What? I've never seen a study stating this. And anecdotally, it worked fine for me, once I found the right therapist, the first two were meh, not a good fit.
Probably not what you want to hear, it really sucks to be in that spot, but it is possible to find good ones! I went through 3 therapists over the course of a couple of years before finding one that helped me.
I have a great therapist these days who has helped me a lot. I still hate therapy. I did finally figure out why, though. Because, with the exception of therapy and a couple of really great people, everyone I've ever been vulnerable in front of has weaponized it against me. So even though I know my therapist wouldn't actually do that I'm still waiting on it to come back and bite me.
Yeah, the weaponization factor is real.
Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y'all women don't have a good track record in my book.

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they're grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.
Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.

Therapy, trying to make you seem ok with the absolute bullshit you have to deal with which you know is wrong.
I just go camping or backpacking out of data range. But his way works too.
Is this the guy who fell off a boat and claimed he built a raft and ate a stick and befriended a dolphin or something? There was a tumblr post about this a while back that was quite funny, there were a lot of inconsistencies in the guys story.
hey we need a rest from capitalism and zoom meetings.
Would pay to "get lost at sea for 29 days".
Depends on which is cheaper tbh.
No, we'd rather be lost at sea than have to participate in the broken society that makes people need therapy.
100%
But also, go to therapy
I lack the photoshop skills, but uh
The 'plap plap GET PREGNANT' meme, but with a therapist shouting:
'accept what you can't change'
'don't blame yourself for things out of your control'
'oh, the copay is $125'
'you missed the last appointment so we charged you for not canceling in advance'
'im worried you're not taking our sessions seriously'
sorry psych professionals, there is no ethical therapy under capitalism
The 'plap plap GET PREGNANT' meme, but with a therapist shouting:
h'whut with h'whomb?
Ok, I may not have great photoshop skills, but I do have a knowledge of ancient memes:
i feel vindicated.

Just goes to show how insane society has become that you'd rather go to therapy than take a 29 day break by being lost at sea.
Society hasn't become that bad. It's becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.
Being lost at sea is reality. Society is the dream
29 days away from reality is therapy.
There's a tiny town in northern California called Downieville that my wife and I love to visit. It's maybe 200 people, sits on the convergence of two decent sized rivers, and there is pretty much no cell service. Even just a week of sitting by that river is enough to fully recharge me and not want to break everything for at least 4 months.
βGee I love working, canβt wait to reduce my down time to work some more.β
