RE: Depression Is a Disease of Civilization — Aboriginal Australians Hold The Cure
Wow, great post. Just read it for the second time. It is so true socially created westernized depression. As a therapist, I recognize this pattern of people never fully "healing" or moving themselves into alignment; Always coming back and putting full responsibility on the therapist to fix them. Something Im trying to move past when working with people. The truth is that depression and disease are what connect us to humanity, not something to fix but something to inspire us to grow beyond what we were before.
their medicine is 100mg of Man The Fuck Up instead of $200 /per hour to your local ‘therapist’.
Just being nit picky here and speaking from no personal experience but I don't think they would think or say "man the fuck up" to another person. More like that is just there being, correct? I assume this phrase is portraying the westernized perspective of how they live for the purpose of writing.
@ballinconscious
No really, people should man the fuck up or better "assume responsibility" and stop whining about their problems. part of the problem of depression is the fact that people seek help elsewhere instead of themselves.
no, no that wasn't my point. I agree with that. I was asking more from the Aborigines perspectives. Me not having connected personally with one gives me a lack of knowledge about it . Do they think in that same way or are they more in themselves and think less about what other should and shouldn't do.
