alt Hacker NewsI have seen therapists in the past, but never over video calls, and the notes have been kept on paper. Sometimes in person is much better.
This rush to put everything online will destroy everyone's privacy even though privacy is the thing we all need.

This isn't a great solution, but it has helped me forgive myself, maybe it can be a trend in the future: You didn't pick your DNA, you didn't pick your environment. (Determinism in a nutshell)
The bad things that happened to you, and the bad thing you did, should be seen as somewhat outside our control.
I think of my worst google searches (nsfw stuff) and think: "Well, I'm just a chemical reaction."
But then again, I read the book A Billion Wicked Thoughts and found I'm pretty vanilla, we just don't talk about these things out loud.
Maybe my life is tame, but even when I hear from other people, everything seems pretty reasonable.
I know this is an 'after the fact' fix, but its a tool for our toolbox. We could look at people who criticize us as people who are ignorant of Determinism. (But we still need mechanisms to deter bad behavior)
