      I'm gonna be really honest here, I know this makes me part of a general cultural problem or whatever But I have to admit I have so, so little interest in seeing a protagonist actually go to therapy and successfully overcome their trauma without causing further harmhttps://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1271979718292766720 …

      In this specific example it's "she could literally fix her problem [desire for violent revenge] by reading about cognitive behavioral therapy." It's ASSUMED no one is providing it

      I have to say I appreciate any show that can take a problem like this and instead use 'the fact that they're doing the healthy thing' to create conflict

      The only example I can think of for this specific issue is Atypical, where the protagonist high-key wants to date his therapist I could easily imagine a show about a protagonist who's working through their trauma and slowly realising that their entire support network is terrible

      And they've normalised and internalized a ton of unhealthy behaviours via their social circle, which then means that to move past the behaviour they have to reconcile either cutting their supports loose and finding new ones, or keeping supports that won't grow with them

      The typical "sitcom" way of managing this is to gloss over the fact that everyone's going through shit, conflict is normal, let's all be friends anyway If they call out the fact that this can be toxic, it's by joking about the cast being codependant. Every time.

      They also typically normalise leaning into that codependence, rejecting career offers because they'll separate you from your friends, etc.

      I'd like to see the opposite take more often: a protagonist whose community is actively, abusively holding them back, how they've justified that to themselves, and their journey toward confronting and dealing with that through therapy

      Well yeah my whole thing is that sometimes you can't, in fact, move on without doing further harm Unfortunately in the world we live in sometimes you healing inevitably involves actions that someone else will perceive as harm

      At some point you've gotta just say "Look you can see it however you see it but I have to be on my side"

          Yes, exactly! Although, in the context of the original thread: there is a big difference between "siding with yourself" and "revenge" The harm (or percieved harm) done by siding with yourself in healthy ways is usually a side-effect, not the goal itself

          I'd argue that the two are mutually exclusive If you're removing someone who's wronged you in order to prevent them committing future wrongs against you, that's not the same thing as revenge, which is punishing someone for wronging you
