denial (verb) : the state of being oblivious to all the crap in one's life
______________________________________
When considering the reasons to begin therapy, it's easy to believe that everyone should do it. Why should anyone live an unexamined life? Wouldn't everyone be better off knowing more about their feelings, why they have those feelings, who triggers certain feelings, etc.? Isn't it better than drinking or doing drugs or whatever in order to avoid those feelings?
Maybe.
But not everyone is that strong or able to handle all that talk therapy and the subsequent examination brings. So maybe for those folks in our lives, we should simply buy them a drink and accept them for who they are and who they're not.
