THERAPY EXISTS AS A CONTINGENCY TO A SOCIETY THAT DOESN’T COMMUNICATE.

And just like these, so many industries wouldn’t see the sun of day if humans dod was was natural. But why?! We love self-sabotaging, self-loathing and complicated. Why make it easy?! You individual who doesn’t communicate to your peeps are holding therapy relevant.

WE HAVE TURNED HUMAN EXPRESSION INTO AN INDUSTRY WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE REMAINED SECOND NATURE.

— SNW | SHS – HUMAN FIRST

Oh, humanity.

How extraordinary that we’ve created an entire industry around people needing someone to speak to.

Self-consciousness, anxiety, overthinking. How much of it grows because we live in systems where people don’t communicate, don’t express themselves, and don’t address the reality of their circumstances?

ISOLATION GIVES THOUGHTS ROOM TO GROW WITHOUT THE REALITY OF ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE.

And instead of organising society so people can communicate, confront, understand and resolve their circumstances together, we’ve created an industry that makes money from the consequences of that disconnection.

Speak about the reality of a circumstance, and suddenly there is something to address. Something to understand. Something to resolve.

COMMUNICATION IS NOT A LUXURY. EXPRESSION IS NOT A TREATMENT. THEY ARE NATURAL FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

Of course, some circumstances require specialised care. But how many people need therapy because the people around them have stopped doing what human beings should naturally do for one another?

Listen. Speak. Consider. Understand. Respond.

WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY AN INDUSTRY TO COMPENSATE FOR A SOCIETY THAT HAS FORGOTTEN HOW TO RELATE TO ITSELF.

The goal isn’t to make therapy more accessible forever.

IT IS TO ORGANISE A SOCIETY THAT CREATES LESS NEED FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

HUMAN FIRST.
