Twitter and Instagram have declared 2022 the year of not dating anyone who hasn’t been to therapy. But do we all really need it, or is our self-help obsession getting in the way of our own happiness?
According to Dr Jeanina Mahrenholz of the, this is a good thing. “The stigma that therapy is only needed when someone is struggling should be broken,” she shares. “Therapy and coaching is for everyone, and all of us can benefit from the development of our current skills, sharing what’s on our mind and professional guidance.
Roantree agrees. “It’s possibly one of the most rewarding forms of therapy when you see two people rekindle their love and grow stronger as a result of facing their difficulties,” she says. “However, at Maclynn, we believe prevention is best and we are seeing an increase in clients coming to us for couples counselling – not because they are facing challenges in the relationship, but because they want to keep their relationship strong and avoid future conflict. Which makes perfect sense.
Barnett says that while ‘too much therapy’ can be detected by a therapist, and unless an individual is compulsive about therapy and the idea of it, it can’t be considered ‘too much therapy’. Instead, he believes that we should change the mindset of ‘the therapist will fix it’ and instead focus on what we can do to make the relationship work as well. “The therapist or counsellor is a guide to help you, but they won’t get the entire job done for you,” he reminds us.
