If I can take a guess I would say that anxiety is like hunger, it’s the absence of self-confidence. Anxiety doesn’t have to be removed but confidence increased.

trailing9,

How would you define trauma?

To me trauma is a forced decision where you have to deny yourself. Then the anxiety comes from the expectation that the self will be denied again.

If this is slightly correct then an increase in the sustainability of the self should reduce anxiety.

Do they, if there is a drug pandemic? Not an argument that I know better, just some doubt into those experts and studies that they have figured it out.

If there were answers, people wouldn’t ask here.

trailing9,

OK. But please give me a hint about what is right.

Made me realize

Why is there no option to talk to a third world person for $5 and make it a win for everybody? There is no western monopoly on psychology.

trailing9, (edited )

A valid feeling as long as they make little.

Do you know PPP? You make little if you cannot resolve your psychological problems while they can rise a family.

If they earn more than their neighbors and can send their children to good schools, everybody wins.

A valid problem.

If it is that dire then the reality is that if you don’t call, the children will die. But it’s not awkward because you will never know if you don’t use the service.

The third world only earns more if we buy services back.

If you feel bad that the family starves you can still pay more. But people understand PPP. Your life will be worse than theirs. You paid for chips while they had a real meal.

If a therapist cannot look beyond culture how will they understand what creates the problems in somebody’s life? To get canned answers, a book is enough.

trailing9,

Not an expert but this sounds like a behavioral school of thought. It’s a strong statement that there are no psychological truths across cultures. Can you recommend a source where I can learn more about that?

Shouldn’t at least psychoanalysts be able to work across cultures?

But even if knowledge of a culture is needed, there is still the possibility to learn it. Additionally, a view from outside could also be an advantage. Other cultures can have answers to our problems.

trailing9,

Thanks for your long answer.

How about repetition compulsion?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetition_compulsion

Isn’t that universal?

For the service to work, the psychologists don’t have to learn all cultures. They can split the necessary specialization among themselves.

trailing9,

Right. For the service to work it would be enough if people who live in cities have comparable mental structures.

trailing9,

I am out of my depth to add anything meaningful. I personally believe that the human experience is universal. E. g. soldiers suffer on both sides of all wars. For sure it is more difficult to gain trust and openness if there are cultural differences. But the emotional conflicts that come with war will be the same.

trailing9,

Thanks for the references.

trailing9,

Most countries win a war and lose a war, so experiences can be shared. But among all the countries it could also be possible to pair the winners with the winners and the losers with the losers. But I would expect that it would only be needed to avoid direct conflicting parties.

trailing9,

But you have a new party with better politics. Otherwise you argue that Democrats and Republicans already represent exactly the will of the population.
