Therapy is not really as useful as it seems. In reality, therapy gets you to just ruminate on thoughts and situations that are no longer useful to you. Instead of spending time pouting about it, learn from it and move on. Today, we’re going to talk about that more. Have a listen.

Highlights:

  • When going to some form of entertainment, the emotional controls are almost willfully set aside for the enjoyment of another story. (6:05)
  • No doubt, teenagers all over the planet have these hormonal things that show up, and have situations that they have emotions about. But it’s being blown out of proportion to where everybody is being taught, everybody will have emotions that are too big for them and these tools are needed. Instead of; there might be an emotion from time to time, no big deal. (10:40)
  • There becomes such a focus on the problem that it becomes overwhelming and it can seem like there’s no hope. (27:30)
  • Don’t feel bad if the tools that have been given to you aren’t as effective as some other ones out there could be. (43:50)
