Expert Psychotherapist specializing in family cultures, organizational cultures, & our consumer culture.
We’ve discussed the consumer culture’s use of games to pull us into its manufactured reality again and again, consuming our time with point gathering that begins when we’re school age children and continues to this day. But what my traumatized clients helped me recognize is that the marketplace found its way in to our lives at a much younger age. The marketplace planted consumer culture fundamentalists in our developing brains when we were still infants and toddlers. These inner fundamentalists stay with us, incessantly demanding things of us. They tell us, rather harshly, that winning in the corporate culture is our only way to live. “Forget about those things that are impossible to measure.” “Forget about connection, belonging, and togetherness.” “Go back to work.” “You’re only safe when you’re gathering points playing the culture’s games, striving for the high score.” (Coming next week, how this fundamentalist got in our heads, and what we do from here…) #ShareYourThoughts #culture #consumer #TodaysPost #reality
