I don't think therapy is bad. I think gatekeeping childfree and prescribing someone else as needing therapy because of that gatekeeping is bad. They're essentially saying "your reason for being childfree is not valid, get help". News alert, 25 years ago everyone thought i was crazy and selfish for not wanting kids, regardless of my reasons!
I genuinely think her reasons are not complete. At no point is she saying "...and that's okay" or "I chose this". She's communicating suffering, not relief. I do think she should get help for that suffering.
That's just a roundabout way of saying you don't think her reasons are good enough. Which, I mean, that's just like, your opinion, man
Hey, I just wish her some inner peace, like being content and happy with her decision. She doesn't seem to be in this video.
It's a dramatic poetry reading, it doesn't necessarily reflect the actual magnitude of her feelings on the subject
Then how can you be sure her feelings reflect being childfree rather than childless?
