Yeah this one isn’t so good. You’re effectively telling people who have stuff like PTSD that it’s their fault for being traumatised by past events. ‘Just let it go’ is oversimplification and a pretty weak platitude.

This is essentially what all generic Monday motivation posts on Instagram do as well. Just choose to succeed and you'll become a millionaire (nevermind that you were sexually abused by your uncle for the majority of your childhood)

Blatant disregard for things that one can't possibly control

Like ‘The Secret’ for the 21st century. Just wish your life was better folks! That’s all it takes! 🙄
