Alan Bloom, in his 1988 book, "The Closing of the American Mind", said that one of the unsettling things about his incoming students was that practically all of them had had therapy. An entire class of people who have been told how to feel. Not just given permission to feel however they damn well pleased, but told the "well-adjusted" way to feel.
My bet is that today it's even worse. And the therapized way to feel is "I want to, therefore I will."
