Скачать или смотреть Night in the Woods and The Problem of Therapy Culture

We’ve all heard it: “Just go to therapy.” It’s meant to be helpful, even caring—but too often, it’s a way of ending a conversation rather than starting one. This video looks at why that phrase can feel hollow, how it’s become the new “thoughts and prayers” of mental health culture, and what real support might look like instead.
Using Night in the Woods as a lens, we explore what happens when therapy isn’t available—or when the problems run deeper than therapy alone can solve. In Possum Springs, healing comes in parking lot conversations, late-night walks, and messy friendships, not in a therapist’s office. This isn’t an argument against therapy, but a reminder that it can’t replace community, presence, and solidarity.
Whether you’ve played Night in the Woods or have never heard of it, this is a video about mental health, the limits of our cultural conversation, and why showing up for people matters more than slogans.
