Feminist Therapy is a manner of working with women and men through a relational paradigm. Instead of individuation, a woman's sense of self and self-worth are most often grounded in her ability to make and maintain relationships. Women are relational beings and desire to build on and stay in connection with others, creating community. Male theorists in general, deemed people too dependent, if they wished to stay strongly connected to spouse, mother, family, partner or children. People were pathologised for connective longings.
Society is built upon their acquiescence, and upon their small and necessary labors.
I became a feminist as an alternative to becoming a masochist. .
