Therapists trained in a culture that emphasizes self-care often encourage clients to prioritize personal boundaries, resulting in relational cut-offs. The popularization of terms like "estrangement" and the criticism of parents reflect a shift in societal views towards family relationships. This trend is exacerbated by social media dynamics and a tendency to validate one-sided narratives within therapy. The consequences may include weakened family connections and a collective move away from traditional values emphasizing family duties and cohesiveness. The discussion around these topics portrays a changing landscape in how relationships are navigated today.
Therapy has evolved over recent decades. Trained in a culture that emphasizes individual autonomy and self-care, younger generations of therapists may over-emphasize personal boundaries.
Young Therapists encourage clients to cut off loved ones who don't observe personal boundaries, prioritizing self-discovery at the expense of traditional collectivist values.
The word 'estrangement' is everywhere now, with some referring to its rise as a kind of 'Me Too' movement due to changing societal norms.
Parents are often misjudged and scapegoated in the current therapy culture, as today's climate normalizes relational cut-offs without exploring multiple perspectives.
