Reliance

People have become to reliant on outside forces. Therapy is a an example. While there are those who undoubtedly need it and I don't pass judgement on them I think most don't. I personally was forced by my mother once during my "teenage rebellion" stage and not only hated it but was able to convince the therapist that my mom was in fact that one that needed therapy. I have many friends on the other hand that would die without their therapist. I was browsing through a self help book that told me to think of ten awful things that had happened to me during my childhood, and I couldn't think of one. As far as I know most of my other friends wouldn't be able to either. I think therapy makes people reliant. I have the same feelings about prescription drugs. Though there are definitely some that need it, getting ADD medicine has become one of the easiest things to do. Once these vices are given to someone they need it, it becomes who they are. They can't make decisions without talking to their therapist first and they can't study for a test without Adderall. I personally think people are capable of making decisions and accomplishing thing's on their own. People have a lot of personal strength and I have faith that most people that put their lives in a therapist's hands and eat up every word they say or that are prescribed something that makes them absent or at the very least different, would be better off without it.
