About this listen
We explore how true mental health is unattainable without structural awareness, as personal suffering is often rooted in the systems we inhabit rather than individual failings. Many people avoid acknowledging these external realities due to fear and discomfort, yet ignoring the environment that produces distress leads to therapeutic insights that fail to resolve actual suffering. When systemic knowledge is viewed through a purely individualistic lens, it often results in paralysis or nihilism because the scale of the problem feels insurmountable. To combat this, the author advocates for a shift from personal survival to collective interdependence, moving from an "I" to a "we" mindset. By managing fear and seeking accurate information, individuals can move past isolation to build the communal frameworks necessary for navigating a changing world.
