"Consumer culture didn't just take our villages: It left us with parents too overwhelmed to fully show up."
"In our work, we explore our clients' inner worlds and their early relationships. But there's a third force we often overlook: the consumer culture that surrounds us."
Consumer culture actively influences individuals and reshapes their sense of self. It creates a sense of isolation and undermines the healing work done in therapy. As traditional villages, where connection and belonging flourished, have disappeared, people find themselves overwhelmed and disconnected, with unmet emotional needs. The illusion that belonging can be purchased perpetuates this disconnection. As therapists, recognizing the impact of consumer culture is vital for fostering genuine connection and belonging in healing processes.
