Q&A: Why the Need for Therapy?

And here’s the last therapy-related question from this batch:

Why do so many people need therapy these days?

A bunch of reasons come together to create the need:

1. People have a lot more leisure.
2. People do a lot less physically demanding activity than their body needs.
3. People are a lot less religious.
4. People don’t make things with their hands.

Leisure is great if you can fill it with sublimating activities such as creating art, being in nature, gardening, etc. Otherwise, it offers a great breeding ground for neuroses.
