I come from a time (we did not get a tv until I was in grade school) and a place (southern us) when children were hit by everyone. No one focused on how we felt, we were not consulted about life decisions, families were not democracies, and children were the property of parents or other adults. Seriously, we (people my age and in my geographic area) do not all need therapy because of it. I don't consider therapy a need for me, although I choose to go.

I actually do think there can be too much credit given to the idea of therapy or that everyone could benefit from it. It is not a universal panacea and not everyone is traumatized by everything.
