I think about that a lot — about how much times have changed. There’s been a rapid expansion and evolution of mental health content and identity-redefining content….much of it good….but now that it’s all wrapped up in commodified online avatars, we have lost honesty in the process. A kind of shallow “authenticity” has emerged that is disembodied.
