Kids ARE very resilient. That's the problem. Therapists know this despite the joke.

As a kid you're so resilient you'll accept anything as "that's the way it is" and so a child will shape their themselves around that world view. Then they grow up with a twisted view of how things are and it requires therapy to unlearn that.

It's like scar tissue on a wound. You healed but you're not quite the same. That wound is now less sensitive to feeling in it's environment and can even be more susceptible to further wounding.

At the same time, they are also incredibly fragile. The wrong words at the wrong time can have an affect on them for a lifetime.

I can't decide if this is peak humour, or just an accidentally well timed correction, but I definitely enjoyed it.

The tools to survive are different than those to thrive

There's more shit that fucked with my head since I became an adult than ever did while I was a kid, and I had plenty of shit fuck with my head as a kid.

I'm resilient as hell, but only because I promised my wife I wouldn't arrange an early exit. As much as I regret making that promise, I'm stuck. Gotta just wait for natural causes to kick in.

You better or I'll make some promises to your wife. /jk

Honestly tho please keep that promise.

[–] Sirdubdee@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I hope you keep that promise for the rest of your life.

Because they're not kids who at that age haven't quite learned to internalise their world view yet.

I know what the post is saying, but I also know what the therapist meant. It's not a gotcha.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because they're not kids anymore?

[–] arakhis_@feddit.org 1 points 11 months ago

I too would love to clarify what the basis is everyone is commenting from. Like theres no way to identify whats the core situation for this person here or am I wrong

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Just because they survive doesn't mean they're resilient in the sense that they won't have trauma.

Not all adults need therapy

(Possibly my most childish comment - in proud of the irony)

[–] missandry351@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Im turning 35 this year, the height of puberty no doubt

Enjoy your 14th consecutive 21st party, i guess?

I'm not sure where I'm going with this any more (et alone how it started!)
