My mother-in-law recommended therapy, out of the blue?

I think it's a simple suggestion. For example, my mom constantly shares things she hears from others like this. There's no need to load it with meaning. I think if the woman had bad intentions, she would do something more direct 🤔

I'm not asking for a purpose, but has anything happened recently? Like, were you angry, did you say something that implied something? 😐

@kahvebitmeden that's not true, nothing happened. In fact, we are in a quieter period than usual. That's why this suggestion seemed a bit strange.

If you were feeling this weird, you should have just asked directly. Otherwise, you'll have no idea why you made such a suggestion 😬

In psychology, there is something we sometimes refer to as 'projection'. They may have been suggested therapy, which could be directing this situation towards you. I think you could engage in a dialogue about this thoughtfully, without being hurtful.

@benbisorayim But if therapy had been suggested to the original poster, they would have mentioned it themselves, right? It seems illogical to me to shift the therapy issue directly onto someone else.

This kind of thing has happened to me. One

@yazipsildim if this is about reflecting this onto someone else, isn't direct open communication possible? Constant indirect ways feel so passive-aggressive to me.

Did an interesting event happen before this suggestion? For example, a situation where he/she saw you very stressed, etc.?
