			[[Therapy culture]] has become a prominent aspect of contemporary social discourse, particularly in North America, where it has influenced personal development, mental health practices, and broader cultural norms. The phenomenon reflects a growing emphasis on individual well-being, self-reflection, and the professionalization of emotional and psychological support. While its roots can be traced to mid-20th-century shifts in psychology and psychiatry, its modern iteration has been shaped by media, celebrity culture, and the rise of self-help industries. This article explores the evolution, characteristics, and controversies surrounding [[Therapy culture]], as well as its impact on society.

			{{H2\|Origins and Development}}
	https://www.vogue.com/article/why-millennial-women-love-gen-z-men
			The concept of [[Therapy culture]] emerged alongside the deinstitutionalization of mental health care in the mid-20th century, which shifted treatment from hospitals to outpatient settings. The 1960s and 1970s saw the proliferation of psychotherapy as a mainstream practice, influenced by figures such as Carl Rogers and the humanistic psychology movement. By the late 20th century, the commercialization of mental health services, coupled with increased societal openness about mental health, contributed to the normalization of therapy. The internet and social media have further amplified its reach, with platforms like YouTube and Instagram popularizing self-help content and therapist-led advice.

			{{H2\|Key Characteristics}}
	Largely a phenomenon of North America.
			[[Therapy culture]] is marked by several defining traits:
			- Individualism: A focus on personal growth and self-improvement, often framed as a path to happiness or success.
			- Professionalization: The increasing reliance on licensed therapists, coaches, and counselors for emotional guidance.
			- Commercialization: The expansion of therapy-related products, from books and podcasts to apps and wellness retreats.
			- Normalization of Mental Health: Greater societal acceptance of seeking help for emotional or psychological issues.

			This culture has been particularly embraced by younger generations, such as Millennials and Gen Z, who often view therapy as a tool for navigating modern challenges like work-life balance, identity exploration, and social pressures.

			{{H2\|Criticisms and Controversies}}
			While proponents argue that [[Therapy culture]] promotes mental health awareness and reduces stigma, critics raise several concerns:
			- Commercialization: Some accuse the industry of prioritizing profit over genuine therapeutic outcomes, with critics like Dr. Jonathan Metzl highlighting the commodification of mental health.
			- Overpathologization: The tendency to label normal behaviors as disorders, potentially leading to overdiagnosis and overmedication.
			- Access Inequality: Disparities in access to quality care, with marginalized communities often facing systemic barriers.

			These debates underscore the complexity of [[Therapy culture]], reflecting both its benefits and its potential pitfalls.

			{{H2\|Cultural Impact}}
			The influence of [[Therapy culture]] extends beyond individual well-being, shaping workplace norms, educational systems, and even political discourse. For example, the rise of "emotional intelligence" training in corporate settings and the integration of mindfulness practices in schools demonstrate its broader reach. However, this cultural shift has also sparked discussions about the role of therapy in addressing societal issues versus focusing solely on individual transformation.
