I really disagree that therapy is trying to solve a lack of community. This may work for eg depression or social anxiety. But it’s much less clear if we’re talking about trauma recovery, psychosis management, etc. a community is very rarely well equipped enough to manage all manner of disordered eating, psychosis, compulsive disorders, etc. It’s important to recognize that it can be traumatizing for an undereducated person to be thrust into dealing with someone else’s mental illness crisis!
