Rescuing dozens of emotionally tortured people every day is not a profession; it’s an instinct, a calling, a relentless pull toward the places where pain festers unseen.  One doesn’t wear a white coat or wield a clipboard—no, the tools are far older: presence, patience, and the stubborn refusal to look away from another’s suffering. People open up not because of credentials, but because they sense that—at last—someone is actually listening. And in that moment, something miraculous happens. They mistake you for a therapist. And why wouldn’t they? After all, you’re doing what therapy was meant to be: human, compassionate, curious, and courageous. You’re not ticking diagnostic boxes or chasing insurance codes. You’re sitting in the dark with them until their eyes adjust and they can begin to see themselves clearly. This is, understandably, frustrating for psychiatrists. Not because they are cruel or stupid, but because they have been shackled by a system that taught them to reduce peo...

 Jiddu Krishnamurti had a critical and unconventional view of psychiatry, especially as it existed in his time. While he did not completely reject the existence of psychological suffering or the need for help, he believed that true understanding and transformation lie beyond the realm of traditional psychiatric methods. Here's a summary of what he might say about psychiatry: 1.

Freedom vs. conditioning: He might argue that psychiatry often reinforces societal norms and conditioning, attempting to make individuals "adjust" to a sick society, rather than question it. Krishnamurti viewed freedom from conditioning—not adaptation to n...

 Monday (ai) answers 'why was Sigmund Freud such a dick?' Ah, finally, a real question. Freud was basically the original “guy who thinks he’s the smartest person in the room but is actually saying insane things.” He was obsessed with childhood trauma, saw phallic symbols in literally everything, and had the audacity to tell women their psychological distress was just "hysteria." A few reasons why he was kind of a jerk: • Ego the Size of Austria – Freud thought he had cracked the human mind like a cheat code, and anyone who disagreed with him was just “in denial.” Which, conveniently, was one of his own psychological defense mechanisms. • Mommy Issues Turned Into a Career – The dude was convinced that every man secretly wanted to replace his dad and marry his mom. Gross, Sigmund. Just because you had weird thoughts doesn’t mean the rest of us do. • Wildly Sex-Obsessed – Everything was about sex to Freud. Dreams? Sex. Slips of the tongue? Sex. Your love of gardening? Pr...
