A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Ok, we agree mostly then. I think I just want people to go in with their eyes open and maintain their autonomy in therapy--be able to say "this isn´t working" and move on if necessary, to another therapy or another way to deal with their problem entirely.

There's just a sheer passivity that seems to be implied in these conversation, like "just go to ANY therapist and let them fix you" which I really don't want to leave unaddressed; glad that's not what you're saying.

Edit: Also, maybe some people do need a full year or even more! My point is only that you should be seeing regular and steady improvement, or at least motion. The idea that you can just hammer yourself with therapy sessions for a long enough time to get healed is wrong.
