In 2025, more than 25% of adults are in therapy – a higher number than ever before reported in the United States. Meanwhile, depression, anxiety and suicide rates are at shocking all-time highs. Why is this?

Psychology in our modern medicine is designed to find a problem. And because that is the set intention of the psychologist and the mental and emotional state of all humans fluctuate and are quite unique from person to person there is not a true blueprint of perfect mental health, which makes it 100% possible for each patient to be misdiagnosed. Furthermore, in the world of psychology both the provider and the patient will find whatever they seek. The complexity of human thought and abilities in creative thinking set forth by the brain guarantee such.

Because the brain operates by nueropathways, which are strengthened by repetition of use, the focus of psychology to talk about past traumas and negative experiences causes the patient to mentally relive those experiences. In doing so, the nueropathway holding these memories becomes stronger and creates new branches in nueropathways as the discussion add layers to the existing trauma. In doing so, the brain shifts into habit of seeking the trauma, the dark thoughts, the pain and ultimately finds comfort in a state of victimhood. Repeated sessions can rewire the brain to negative thinking as the new baseline for past and future relationships.
