That’s basically what therapy is. The lack of vitamin is the damage you received in your childhood that you just thought was normal.
Then you actually recount the experience to a therapist and they tell you how not normal that is and help you to recognize the fact that you had to go through that without support and that the way you are is because you had to cope to support yourself to survive when no one else was there for you.
Once you know it then you can tell all your friends and get them to awe at your seemingly inhuman perseverance.
Living through trauma isn’t really a super power. And I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on anyone. In fact, I don’t usually share what happened to me with anyone but my therapist and my wife.
I’ve found many shared experiences when I thought my experience was unique. Sharing my personal traumas with people in my life has both helped them to understand me as well as sometimes help them also. In the same ways I have felt alone I have helped other to realize they are not alone and often that can be the first step to them getting real help.
Therapy might help with the childhood trauma but it imparts the poverty trauma.
Which one is better depends on the build you’re going for and whether you want to recruit all companions and get the true ending or are fine with the neutral.
For me this was ADHD meds. I was always lacking, but ever since I self-prescribed darknet amphetamines I’m much happier. Therapy wasn’t shit for me, I’m glad it helps others but I never had any trauma and I feel like it’s too over-prescribed instead of drugs that fix the issue.
It’s hard to know this by yourself. I’m assuming you’ve been through the process but I wouldn’t want others to assume they could self-assess this at all - it’s not possible.

I think generally the sentiment is that america over-relies on drugs to fix mental health problems. But I can understand that if you have a chemical imbalance or need drugs that it would seem like there are a lot of hoops to jump through before you get there.
That’s fair, in the UK there’s the opposite problem, getting a script for drugs that fix the issue is nigh-impossible, instead you get told to go attend CBT sessions for a broken arm
That last paragraph. It just shows that your therapist sucks. Or you aren’t doing therapy right. But oh my, I’m sure you’re now walking around telling everyone how therapy saved you and how they all should do it to.

Not a superpower, agreed.

That’s fair, I probably shouldn’t keep this stuff to myself if I want to get better from it.
Do it you coward i dare you.
(now you gotta cause i dared you)
Boo, that’s far more complicated than popping a pill once a day.

Unfortunately this is the case in America but not everywhere. Seems like a trauma on it’s own.
That said, there are resources and many therapists in the US who will work for free or at reduced rates on a case by case basis.

The last sentence was facetious/tongue in cheek because the op is a meme.
I do advocate for therapy to others.
I’m curious, are you American? It seems to be such a phenomenon that Americans love talking about therapy.
I find it perplexing.
I am not.
