Let's take a moment to appreciate the acting job of the therapist. Everything about him is spot on. Facial expressions, tone of voice, the works. He plays the role perfectly.
David Michod, he's actually a film director. Directed Animal Kingdom (the original film not TV series), the Rover with Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, The King with Timothee Chalamat and War Machine with Brad Pitt. Pretty good performance considering he's not an actor.
Ray gave those that bloke a floggin who knocked Brit's icecream out of her hand for one very good reason. The bloke deserved it. One thing that gets overlooked here is that Ray worships the ground his daughter walks on, he'd do anything to protect her... and rightly so. What Ray said in the therapy was exactly right about consequences, if a bloke gets a floggin for being an asshole... he'll think twice about doing it next time. This is exactly right. Play the video again and really listen to the way the therapist "talks down" to Ray at every opportunity. The sound in his voice, as he really "goes after" Ray about violence being the answer. Other comments here are spot on, it IS a wonder that Ray hadn't "visited" the therapist. One other thing from the therapy session. The therapist went after Ray for voicing his opinion about him being in the wrong room, that's a fair call on Ray's behalf. He WAS in a room full of wife bashers and child beaters. It WAS Carlo who physically went after Ray because Ray "was honest with his opinions" though the therapist dragged RAY out of the room and threatened him with more jail time. I'd like to know if the therapist dragged CARLO out as well after he finished "going after Ray" for being honest. I've watched this video a dozen times or more now, each time I watch it... it's clearer each time that the therapist despises Ray because he knows Ray has more respect from the other blokes sitting there, then they do for him. Just to finish off here this time, the only reason why the second bloke didn't get the same floggin as the first after they knocked Brit's icecream (from Ray) was because he could run faster. Lucky him.
@@kaj7135 You've added nothing even remotely insightful to this conversation, so there's nothing for me to lose yet. It sounds like you could probably use a therapist yourself, further proving my original point. I don't know what kind of trauma in your life has caused you to try to pick fights with strangers on the internet, but I hope you are able to face it someday and move on. I do have better things to do than defend myself to a hypocritical troll though, so I'll take my W and bid you adieu.
Ive not watched the full series but my impression of Ray is that he's not necessarily angry, just hostile with no patience for disrespectful behaviour.
I think you hit the nail on the head with that definition. Ray does what most men probably think about doing but then decide not to because of societal norms or because they're cowards, for lack of a better word. Ray does not fly off the handle, he uses violence as a tool. In the whole show Ray only lets emotions overwhelm him twice: after Ally's brother is being an asshole to his daughter, the most precious thing in his life, and when he's chopping the tree after breaking up with Ally.
The therapist is understanding with everyone but seriously judgmental of Ray, i thought he wasn't supposed to discriminate? And he also let's everyone finish speaking except for Ray, responding with things which are judgmental and that would aggravate a person who doesn't have anger issues while this is supposed to be a anger management session.. Like is Ray so different then the others that this is the correct technique or is this therapist just horrible at his job? Also many "great" mysogonists? 😅
The others were "playing along" and responding as they thought they were supposed to (as is the usual reaction when an alternative is possibly worse.) Ray wouldn't play that game, and the psych just never experiences that enough to know how to deal with it, instead falls back on the "how to" text's he was told to read at uni. I've been seeing psychs (aka "therapists") for decades (due to depression) and my experience is if it doesn't fit the script, they're lost. One said, "oh well, some people just aren't meant to be happy I guess", another said "just take an "emotional holiday", but could not explain what that actually was, or how to achieve it. The last said "I don't think I can help you.. but I'm happy to talk with you" with the rates he was charging, I guess he was very happy to have a paid chat. Myself and Veterans Affairs.. not so much.
You would think as a “therapist” he would remember rays “respect” talk. Like if I had a room full of people prone to violence I would remember what sets each of them off
@@HaratioUK which is exactly the problem with Ray's outlook, respect to some people means subservience. I for one don't want real life to be just like prison.
They needed to finish the therapists arc by him being assaulted outside a business some where and have Ray walks by and just watches. Not helping, just watching the guy getting trounced. Afterward he can explain to the therapist that violence wasn’t the answer
That's what I love about this series, nobody is perfect. Nobody has the perfect argument. You're half way in-between Ray and the Therapist in terms of their logic. Both annoy you slightly, neither you fully agree with.
@@garylokers8375 I actually know a guy who’s just like the brother 🤣 He’s a complete tool and last time I saw him he had the wee clipped beard, a man-bun, and it looked like he was wearing his wives too-tight jeans 😳🤣

@marcleblancmrmarctoyou I admire certain traits about him, I know something I don't admire in people is people who jump to conclusions so they can justify their negative emotions instead of take responsibility for them.
No question Ray makes some good points. But bashing his girlfriends brother over taking a unicorn at a gift exchange shows he does have an anger problem. His answer to why there are so many assholes is gold though.
I don't think is was the simple fact that the brother refused to give Ray the Unicorn after the gift exchange. If I remember correctly, Ray bought that Unicorn specifically to give to his daughter as a gift, so the fact that the brother refused to give it back, made it feel more akin to him stealing his daughters present. I don't think Ray would have reacted as he did if it was anyone/something else... But as far as his daughter is concerned, he's a dad and loves her, so I think his response was justified.
To be fair to Ray, he didn't immediately resort to violence. He tried to talk to him man to man and ask him as a favour to give the present back to his daughter. Hell he even offered to buy the present from him. The brother escalated the whole thing.
@@SHINIGAMI_CHIKUBI69 It's the fact he said it with 0 hesitation or fear and was almost humored at the guy standing up. If you try to big bear someone and they chuckle at the attempt, that means you've stepped to the wrong guy.
"I managed to drive to work today without incident" "That's terrific" Therapist is out of his depth with Ray, but man, look at the usual calibre of dude he's dealing with, lol
He wasn't raised around low expectations, or visceral violence, and can't relate, or understand, those that are. At this edge of the extremes, it's almost like separate species, moving passed each other in the dimming light.
Ray needs to learn how to work the system better. Getting the social worker to question his enthusiasm for controlling his anger makes no sense. He is not going to change nor are the rest of his classmates.
Most, thing is, very often its better for yourself to just let things slide. Prison and graveyards, filled with people that couldn’t. A lot of this agression will fade if you have children for example, not worth it.
@@xXmennovichXx Yeah sure. But then there are the times that we have children and families because we didn't let it slide. It is a balance. A difficult balance.
I thought the therapy stuff wasn’t as well written as most of the rest of the show. Don’t know if it was the actor or just how the character was written but the therapist was overly smug and obnoxious, really unrealistic for an actual therapist who’re non judgemental and professional. A bit of weird anti woke bait shit in this show as well, like the therapist obnoxiously calling Ray a misogynist and angling Tatiana’s new girlfriend as an angry lesbian feminist. Otherwise a pretty down to earth show. Bruce’s storyline is insanely well acted, genuinely teared up a lot at the conclusion of that.
Apparently you've never been attached to a "therapist" like this. Its ironic, because they are about 75% of all "therapists" today. Or - maybe - you are a therapist. Or at least attached to the industry. Which means you probably have an enormous blind spot. Lastly, these therapists are literally trained to go after the "alpha in the room" bc if they don't, that alpha will set the tone and hinders their ability to progress the group. Oh, and don't believe me, this is coming from my board-certified neuro psychologist wife with 20 yrs experience.
I’m in the field as well on an academic and work place capacity now and it’s true there’s so much pandering and buzz words. It’s hard to find an actual therapist and not someone who’s also a political activist. It’s a real issue in the field now. It also doesn’t help therapist and the studies the practice is based off are usually women. It’s known there’s issues with generalizability as men and women react differently in therapy but it’s female centered and been like that since Freud
@@deeohen8344 ‘therapists are literally trained to go after the alpha in the room’, ‘75% of therapists are insufferably obnoxious to their clients’. Mate just don’t even.
The issue with the therapist character is that it is by no means mimicking an actual therapist. Instead, this character is a condescending and judgmental piece of garbage. Seems like it was written by a person who has a personal vendetta against therapists. An awful character.
The show Seems to be showing the 'woke' side of therapy. hard at work looking down on someone for doing what everyone knows is right we need more ray's here in the usa. Im with ray if someone bumped into a little kid and didnt apologize... ray did great in that moment. I know I will hear it but that's OK. Sorry for a disjointed comment. I had to take out so much more and didn't go back and rewrite the whole thing.
A interesting study..But i think unfortunately many an Therapist is speaking from a lofty position in a Ivory Tower.. U could have the most decent,easy going,Law abiding person get set upon by someone nasty or a fkn Loon ( on a Bus,train,in the street,it could happen anywhere).And their very decency may also have contributed to their downfall& ( that person) could easily be a Therapist. Now if a guy with Ray's Propensity for violence could be summoned at will or appeared & saved the day,would this moralizer still pick their motives (and chosen method of dealing with those that deserve it)apart, in such a condescending,judgemental & disgusted manner? Or would that violence be ' Good violence' or ' acceptable violence ' So as they say hindsight is 20/20.. And i like that saying ' Life can only be understood looking backwards& lived forwards- As in life is made up of series of events & decisions only made sense of in hindsight,but at present navigated in real time..- So true..
Be nice if just once a therapist esp anger management therapist were portrayed as naive or as dick heads. I mean, some of them are, but lots of them do bloody stand up work with eye difficult people. Me, for example. My anger management groups were great. Not my opinion. The feedback I got. I think mak8mg them funny helped. Also, I’m six five and covered in tattoos. That helps too.
Yeah. A lot of people seem to have problems with therapists and psychologists unfortunately. There's plenty that are bad at their jobs, but that's the same with every profession. A lot of mental health workers do a lot of good, helping people overcome their problems.
Yes, actually, plenty of therapists like this exist. You don't exactly need much in the way of professional qualification or standards to be a therapist like this.
I love this show and the general values and morals it obviously pushes, but I think these group therapy sessions get therapy all wrong. The guy in charge of the group is clearly depicted as a soft, lame, and unreasonable guy. I think ray is wrong and you can’t just go around slapping people. When you do you wind up losing things like really important relationships or losing important time with your daughter in jail. It’s probably the only weak point of the whole show to me. Therapy works. Not everyone who acts like an asshole is a nazi. Violence can be helpful sometimes.
Ray is fundamentally right though, in that if you permit bad behaviour to go unpunished, then it will likely persist at a societal level. If someone gets up in your face about something totally idiotic and unreasonable, turning the other way more likely than not won't make that individual less than an arsehole.
@ I have some bad news man, bad behavior already is a guarantee in society and slapping around one snotty teen will just as much embolden the next teen as it may deter them. It’s about understanding what you can and cannot control.
The therapist isn’t just depicted as soft, lame and unreasonable, he IS all those things. Ray gave those other guys immensely better advice than he ever did.
"I think ray is wrong and you can’t just go around slapping people. --- It’s probably the only weak point of the whole show to me. Therapy works. Not everyone who acts like an asshole is a nazi. Violence can be helpful sometimes." wtf are you actually talking about you managed to contradict yourself twice
@@21Liberdade Vigilante 'justice' simply begets more vigilante 'justice' as the initial perpetrator or their friends seek revenge against the initial vigilante. That's how we end up with family feuds lasting generations.
Dude talks like a redditor. His only “advice” to those guys is to never have any self-respect for themselves. My favorite part is when he calls Ray a “misogynist” for telling basic irrefutable facts. lol
@@Morgan-xe4gz Do you really think that if this woman who has slept with 30-40 men would suddenly stop cheating even when the guy has further stated that she likes the attention?
@TheMinipily It's his insecurities that makes her think that she will cheat. She has never actually cheated, at least as far as I know. I've roughly slept with 30 women but, but I've been in a happy relationship for two years now. Why couldn't a woman do this?
Not the tack to take. Open with, "Yes, those are deeply flawed people. But they're here trying to become better, they're here because they don't want to be beating up women and kids."
The writing for the therapist scenes is a bit cringe and out of place with the honest writing of the rest of the show. Reminds me of the crappy writing on afterlife, overly contrived in making the protagonist seem ever so correct and rolling his eyes at society
It is, but it definitely shows that Ray would be better served by one-on-one therapy as his primary concern is not being shown as weak to others. The therapist also is not very good at his job as written, which may also be the point as it is often the case for these court ordered services
@Rhugor yeah fair points, I just felt it was handled in a heavy handed manner writing wise, which is a shame as the rest of the series goes into nuance seamlessly
@@ianaspinall7948 I don't disagree with you either, as a guy having to run these very groups fairly often for work lol (and tried very hard to be more effective than this guy!)
Ray, a man who embodies Australia’s wild frontier spirit. The therapist, typical modern day Aussie, weak, submissive, and insufferably smug. Basically the kind of tool who would bend over a table and do whatever the state says. Be like Ray.
Name one and he couldn’t. I drove to work today without incident, that’s terrific almost sarcastically as a sentence ender like who really cares not nice to be honest
It is important to realize how a reason of whether a person is sent or not, changes the focus of therapy. A person with extrinsic motives such as being set as terms of suspended sentence, will have different to motivation and drivers. To a person who doing to therapy to help understand himself/her. The employment of the therapist, constructs the therapy as the interest of the organisation such a prison facility. And undermine the effectiveness of the therapist.Because it puts the interests of the therapy towards serving the organisation.
These types of therapists are insufferable pricks who were either bullied or never learned to defend themselves and are deeply afraid of real confrontation so they get their power and illusion of being defended from reality by becoming "therapists" and "taking the high road", there is no high road in real life, if you get disrespected or hurt on purpose, taking the high road wont change what happened to you or that there are people who can get away with that because you did nothing about it.
Brother, who hurt you? The whole point of taking the high road isn't to change what's happened, it's to move past it as it has happened, is history and is an experience you cannot change. But how you react and live on from that is something you can effect, so you focus on this instead of the unchangeable absolute that is driving you nuts mentally, then ridding that weight can really help you improve and thrive as a person.

How Ray kept his cool whilst therapist had the most punchable face is a small miracle...

Vince just casually taking notes on how a real man carries himself.
ray is a better therapist than the therapist.
Ray needs to learn how to work the system better. Getting the social worker to question his enthusiasm for controlling his anger makes no sense. He is not going to change nor are the rest of his classmates.
Yeah that's why I'd consider him trustworthy 😅
Ray is the therapist!
F that's deep
Therapist is typical of what is out there. What a tosser. Ray rules
hard man right here
i wonder how many men relate with Ray and his views ...
Most of us
Most, thing is, very often its better for yourself to just let things slide. Prison and graveyards, filled with people that couldn’t. A lot of this agression will fade if you have children for example, not worth it.
Im not sure I know any man that disagrees with any of his views..Men created a safe world, problem is we basically made a world where were not needed.
@@xXmennovichXx letting things slide, is exactly why we are in this shit
@@xXmennovichXx Yeah sure. But then there are the times that we have children and families because we didn't let it slide. It is a balance. A difficult balance.
Ray is the only guy that I'd run like hell if he smiled at me.
only if his eyebrows are raised while he´s smiling at you ^^
Ray is Marcus Aurelius
Lol both are great people
That shrink neefs ray to give him a bashing
I was kind of thinking the same thing mate. 😅
I thought the therapy stuff wasn’t as well written as most of the rest of the show. Don’t know if it was the actor or just how the character was written but the therapist was overly smug and obnoxious, really unrealistic for an actual therapist who’re non judgemental and professional. A bit of weird anti woke bait shit in this show as well, like the therapist obnoxiously calling Ray a misogynist and angling Tatiana’s new girlfriend as an angry lesbian feminist. Otherwise a pretty down to earth show. Bruce’s storyline is insanely well acted, genuinely teared up a lot at the conclusion of that.
Agreed. The friction between the therapist and Ray (and exclusively Ray for w/e reason) just felt a bit forced.
Apparently you've never been attached to a "therapist" like this. Its ironic, because they are about 75% of all "therapists" today. Or - maybe - you are a therapist. Or at least attached to the industry. Which means you probably have an enormous blind spot. Lastly, these therapists are literally trained to go after the "alpha in the room" bc if they don't, that alpha will set the tone and hinders their ability to progress the group. Oh, and don't believe me, this is coming from my board-certified neuro psychologist wife with 20 yrs experience.
@@deeohen8344 So have you and/or your wife met 75% of therapists working today?
I’m in the field as well on an academic and work place capacity now and it’s true there’s so much pandering and buzz words. It’s hard to find an actual therapist and not someone who’s also a political activist. It’s a real issue in the field now. It also doesn’t help therapist and the studies the practice is based off are usually women. It’s known there’s issues with generalizability as men and women react differently in therapy but it’s female centered and been like that since Freud
@@deeohen8344 ‘therapists are literally trained to go after the alpha in the room’, ‘75% of therapists are insufferably obnoxious to their clients’. Mate just don’t even.
Bring back Ray.
The balls on ray to call them out for hitting kids and women. Geezer
0:27 he was this close to the death smile😂
the therapist could learn a thing or two from aussi baba yaga
Misogyny? For speaking facts?
I think Ray wanted to bash the therapist
that would have made for a great episode hahaha
"Shiva," and then it's revealed that stereotypical academic-minded, sincere Indian 🙂
The guy sounds Australian 😅
The world is full of arsehols who deserve a slap😂
Surprised Ray never "visited" the therapist
That is the point the therapist is inconsequential in Ray's world.
Ray has respect for the therapist doing his job and confronting him, in a non threatening manner. The therapist is no threat.
@@justine8387violence ruined his life. The therapist was correct.
"Name one"
*Surprise Pikachu*
Is Guy Pearce one of the guys?
Ray is a normal human. Its everyone else who is screwed up.
Really? How many normal humans do you know who would kill for money?
@@omnivorous65 easy because everyone has a price!
Well, I'll give Ray an "A" for participation.
Ray's got balls like coconuts.
The issue with the therapist character is that it is by no means mimicking an actual therapist. Instead, this character is a condescending and judgmental piece of garbage. Seems like it was written by a person who has a personal vendetta against therapists. An awful character.
The show Seems to be showing the 'woke' side of therapy. hard at work looking down on someone for doing what everyone knows is right we need more ray's here in the usa. Im with ray if someone bumped into a little kid and didnt apologize... ray did great in that moment. I know I will hear it but that's OK. Sorry for a disjointed comment. I had to take out so much more and didn't go back and rewrite the whole thing.
100% accurate. It’s disturbing how many smoothbrains are defending him. Must be just as shitty as him.
what is this streaming on
Hulu
Not enough things
Fmovies
Justified, Support!
Not the right group for Ray. These are non-men and that disgusts him as it should.
Is this a film or TV series
Mr Inbetween tv show
Brilliant and underrated TV series. Ray is one of he greatest TV characters
series,watch it,very good!
A interesting study..But i think unfortunately many an Therapist is speaking from a lofty position in a Ivory Tower..
U could have the most decent,easy going,Law abiding person get set upon by someone nasty or a fkn Loon ( on a Bus,train,in the street,it could happen anywhere).And their very decency may also have contributed to their downfall& ( that person) could easily be a Therapist.
Now if a guy with Ray's Propensity for violence could be summoned at will or appeared & saved the day,would this moralizer still pick their motives (and chosen method of dealing with those that deserve it)apart, in such a condescending,judgemental & disgusted manner? Or would that violence be ' Good violence' or ' acceptable violence '
So as they say hindsight is 20/20..
And i like that saying ' Life can only be understood looking backwards& lived forwards- As in life is made up of series of events & decisions only made sense of in hindsight,but at present navigated in real time..- So true..
Be nice if just once a therapist esp anger management therapist were portrayed as naive or as dick heads. I mean, some of them are, but lots of them do bloody stand up work with eye difficult people. Me, for example. My anger management groups were great. Not my opinion. The feedback I got. I think mak8mg them funny helped. Also, I’m six five and covered in tattoos. That helps too.
Yeah. A lot of people seem to have problems with therapists and psychologists unfortunately. There's plenty that are bad at their jobs, but that's the same with every profession. A lot of mental health workers do a lot of good, helping people overcome their problems.
The therapist from Breaking Bad. His whole self-accpetance spiel was just a way for him to allay his own guilt over backing his truck over his child.
But Ray is right. He is in the wrong room. He doesn't have anger management issues.
Yes, actually, plenty of therapists like this exist. You don't exactly need much in the way of professional qualification or standards to be a therapist like this.
True, though my local dugs councillor is well qualified, biggest stoner I have ever met.🤣🤣🤣
I love this show and the general values and morals it obviously pushes, but I think these group therapy sessions get therapy all wrong. The guy in charge of the group is clearly depicted as a soft, lame, and unreasonable guy. I think ray is wrong and you can’t just go around slapping people. When you do you wind up losing things like really important relationships or losing important time with your daughter in jail. It’s probably the only weak point of the whole show to me. Therapy works. Not everyone who acts like an asshole is a nazi. Violence can be helpful sometimes.
Ray is fundamentally right though, in that if you permit bad behaviour to go unpunished, then it will likely persist at a societal level. If someone gets up in your face about something totally idiotic and unreasonable, turning the other way more likely than not won't make that individual less than an arsehole.
@ I have some bad news man, bad behavior already is a guarantee in society and slapping around one snotty teen will just as much embolden the next teen as it may deter them. It’s about understanding what you can and cannot control.
The therapist isn’t just depicted as soft, lame and unreasonable, he IS all those things. Ray gave those other guys immensely better advice than he ever did.
"I think ray is wrong and you can’t just go around slapping people. --- It’s probably the only weak point of the whole show to me. Therapy works. Not everyone who acts like an asshole is a nazi. Violence can be helpful sometimes."
wtf are you actually talking about
you managed to contradict yourself twice
@@21Liberdade Vigilante 'justice' simply begets more vigilante 'justice' as the initial perpetrator or their friends seek revenge against the initial vigilante. That's how we end up with family feuds lasting generations.
Dude talks like a redditor. His only “advice” to those guys is to never have any self-respect for themselves. My favorite part is when he calls Ray a “misogynist” for telling basic irrefutable facts. lol
It's irrefutable that if women sleep with multiple men she's destined to chest in a relationship? That's irrefutable?
@@Morgan-xe4gz Almost always
@@Morgan-xe4gz Do you really think that if this woman who has slept with 30-40 men would suddenly stop cheating even when the guy has further stated that she likes the attention?
@@Morgan-xe4gz…Yes. Time for you to parachute down from cloud cuckoo land and join the rest of us living in reality.
@TheMinipily It's his insecurities that makes her think that she will cheat. She has never actually cheated, at least as far as I know. I've roughly slept with 30 women but, but I've been in a happy relationship for two years now. Why couldn't a woman do this?
damn it I really wanted to see Ray vs. the rapist compilation
10:15 - 11:06 therapist is trolling
That's not trolling. It's just a very unhealthy mix of arrogance and ignorance.
Not trolling, he’s just a delusional coward living in his own cozy bubble.
The therapist is 1 sided towards Ray and empathetic towards everyone else, which is bias. Ray's not perfect but he is like some men in the World
Not the tack to take. Open with, "Yes, those are deeply flawed people. But they're here trying to become better, they're here because they don't want to be beating up women and kids."
What if it’s court appointed?
@@grassmonkeyO5 It very well could be. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't try and rehabilitate these people (not saying you aren't saying that)
The writing for the therapist scenes is a bit cringe and out of place with the honest writing of the rest of the show. Reminds me of the crappy writing on afterlife, overly contrived in making the protagonist seem ever so correct and rolling his eyes at society
It is, but it definitely shows that Ray would be better served by one-on-one therapy as his primary concern is not being shown as weak to others. The therapist also is not very good at his job as written, which may also be the point as it is often the case for these court ordered services
@Rhugor yeah fair points, I just felt it was handled in a heavy handed manner writing wise, which is a shame as the rest of the series goes into nuance seamlessly
@@ianaspinall7948 I don't disagree with you either, as a guy having to run these very groups fairly often for work lol (and tried very hard to be more effective than this guy!)
Ray, a man who embodies Australia’s wild frontier spirit. The therapist, typical modern day Aussie, weak, submissive, and insufferably smug. Basically the kind of tool who would bend over a table and do whatever the state says. Be like Ray.
Name one and he couldn’t. I drove to work today without incident, that’s terrific almost sarcastically as a sentence ender like who really cares not nice to be honest
Shoulda just said Trump.
It is important to realize how a reason of whether a person is sent or not, changes the focus of therapy. A person with extrinsic motives such as being set as terms of suspended sentence, will have different to motivation and drivers. To a person who doing to therapy to help understand himself/her. The employment of the therapist, constructs the therapy as the interest of the organisation such a prison facility. And undermine the effectiveness of the therapist.Because it puts the interests of the therapy towards serving the organisation.
These types of therapists are insufferable pricks who were either bullied or never learned to defend themselves and are deeply afraid of real confrontation so they get their power and illusion of being defended from reality by becoming "therapists" and "taking the high road", there is no high road in real life, if you get disrespected or hurt on purpose, taking the high road wont change what happened to you or that there are people who can get away with that because you did nothing about it.
Dude, it's an actor not a therapist.
Brother, who hurt you? The whole point of taking the high road isn't to change what's happened, it's to move past it as it has happened, is history and is an experience you cannot change. But how you react and live on from that is something you can effect, so you focus on this instead of the unchangeable absolute that is driving you nuts mentally, then ridding that weight can really help you improve and thrive as a person.
sounds like someone's wife left him too hahaha
Look at all the replies from the therapy simps who got triggered, because their soft science got called out. ahhhhhahahaha
@@Political_Brainrot_Auditor "Soft science" there are ton of things you could criticise therapy for but you sound like you would know none of them.
