The therapeutic society is characterised by three main trends: self-exploration, de-stigmatisation, and the individualisation of health problems. Individuals are encouraged to engage in introspection and self-reflection to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, as well as to promote self-awareness and personal growth. Mental health issues are also destigmatized and normalised, and people are encouraged (often even expected) to seek help and discuss emotional struggles as part of being a responsible citizen. Like brushing your teeth, this is now an expected part of responsible life maintenance. Today, an inherent moral culpability is thereby paired with troubles – not because it isn’t taboo anymore (thankfully!) but because it is normalised. One ‘just has to make sure to find a good therapist’, as I have often heard from experienced and very well-meaning people within higher music education. Although these attitude shifts, by themselves, consist of genuinely positive values with beneficial effects, they subtly shift attention to morality and coping rather than intervening with or protesting systemic problems. A critical look at today’s typical events promoting musicians’ health finds that they mostly consist of awareness or promotion of various individual coping strategies and self-regulation.
