Topic | What exactly is therapy supposed to do for existential boredom? |
GunslingerGunsl 11/22/20 6:15:25 PM #32: | FrothySolutions posted... I'm not going back to a place of boredom by choice, it's just it's not practical for me to do the thing that will fulfill me. What would fulfill me is getting another shot at my squandered youth. My prime years were lost because I didn't know how to do things like make friends or sexual partners. So I didn't have a normal youth. What would fulfill me is if I could go back to college and make friends and sexual partners, like I should've done when I was 20-something. But I can't do that now because I'm 47.This is exactly one of those scenarios that a therapist can help you work through. It's a textbook case of generativity vs stagnation. Doesn't hurt to give it a shot. I guess bibliotherapy could help too. Try looking into selfhelp books, books on existentialism, or mid life crises. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
