Im just extremely thankful Ive had the Same therapist for over 20 years however Im very mindful that this is my culture and it is not the suitable thing for other cultures. It’s the easiest way how to speak about support in our white paternalistic world here in Australia. 

This long term therapy might not be the best fit for everyone. We have many cultural backgrounds painted in our country one most significantly the one who was already here in Australia. 

 

Living in a white paternalistic culture like Australia its easy to assume that this is the correct and the only way. But actually, if you think this is the ‘right way,’ is wrong wrong and insensitive not observing different people and their experiences.
