Therapy has gone from being a stigma to becoming a social norm. The COVID-19 pandemic is partly to blame for this. All that paranoia and isolation. A social experiment where we all journeyed into the cave. About 14 percent of U.S. adults have sought therapy, according to CDC data from 2024. In some ways, it’s never been better. We have tele-health from the comfort of our homes. Online therapy groups. Just about every flavor of self-help imaginable. In a lot of ways, it’s a good thing. Society is reflecting. Some argue this may also represent a different trend. Maybe we’re becoming so used to digging up past harms that we’re re-living old traumas again and again.
