1. Understanding and processing is just not the same thing as ruminating. It's just not. Ruminating means you're not trying to get better.
2. Blaming talk therapy for the anxiety and depression, and actual opioid epidemic is absolutely ridiculous. Are you seriously saying talk therapy is more to blame than things like a pandemic, predatory prescription practices in the 2010's, and the societal disconnect experienced by today's youth (among the hundreds of reasons I could've written)?
Astounding.
