Many of the critiques of this piece are well spoken to by Dr. Jordan Peterson when he says it can be quite troubling to a person who senses things are not right in their lives when we say things like "You're ok", "Don't be so critical" (ie call this situation "good") . etc. And he mentions it can be quite distressing because if now is "good" then a) what hope is there? They're experiencing suffering/distress and we've now told them to just suffer it (and now in silence). and b) it disarms the one true lever we have in life, thoughtful action. and often people who are hypercritical are paralyzed by self-doubt/fear/perfectionism. I think he has a point. Maybe affirmations do not work, but some of the sentiment behind them could be powerful. "You have a sufficient plan to move forward, and you're a sufficient person to take those first steps".
