Self help fluff is the drop in replacement for economic instability by the psychotherapy world. Economics is too political and “like the weather” it’s just a natural phenomena that nobody can do anything about (sarcasm)
Modern self help is also selfish. There was a great bit on the Bojack Horseman show. A character disappears. Everyone is looking for them under the idea that they might have committed suicide. In the end, they went to decompress on their California ranch. They wanted to disconnect and so didn't tell anyone where they were going. Self help, with no regard for how your self help negatively impacts countless other people. When confronted, the character doesn't care. They take pride in choosing to "take responsibility" for their own happiness. Selfish jerk.
No one is allowed to take some time to them self without reporting their location constantly? Sounds like other people need to check their neurotism
No ones saying report location constantly, but it is a dick move to not let people know that you'll be disconnecting and be unreachable for a while. Otherwise it can be very concerning if no one can get in touch or if there's an emergency.
