well... i had a long hard battle to get therapy. if i wasn't in therapy now i guess i'd be doing what it was that i did before i was in therapy... posting to message boards about therapy and posting about my stuff and getting some helpful insights and stuff from there.

if there wasn't any such thing as therapy then i guess that would be harder... i wouldn't have so much reading to do... maybe i'd still be reading on what 'human nature' was supposed to be and notions of 'health' and 'flourishing' and the like.

maybe... we would be forced to get the needs that are currently met in therapy met by people outside therapy. friendly people... helpful people... caring people... maybe priests or priestesses or spiritual leaders... maybe GP's... maybe p-docs would be a little fonder of talking to their patients if there wasn't formal therapy.
