Does Capitalism Make Therapy Useless? | Therapist Talks Socialism, Capitalism, and Mental Illness

There's a lot to unpack in today's video and a lot of nuance we need to honor so stay with me y'all. We're chatting about how capitalism, especially late stage capitalism, leeches into everything and corrupts everything, what capitalism does to our mental health, the sexist and problematic history of the mental health field, and my perspective as a therapist about what our work is to address all of that. Let me know what your thoughts are in those comments because I know there's gonna be a lot of discussion about this one! Credit and shout out to Teanna @FabSocialism for inspiring this week's video!
