It was strange to notice that my new friends and colleagues living in conditions of “overabundance” also seemed to have their own versions of “trauma,” for which many of them were receiving help from a doctor licensed in therapy. It was so strange, in fact, that I figured I must be in an incredibly good place, being someone who clearly didn’t need therapy. Even if I was “traumatized,” what would be the point of having survived it only to have to pay someone else to complain to about it, rather than turn it into something positive?
Are we doing the trauma Olympics now? This is such an incredibly harsh take. If Park were instead to want therapy, would she welcome people deciding whether or not she would qualify? People seeking help that they feel they need is a good thing.
