# Event Details - **Event Name**: Feeling Down? An exploration of the therapeutic turn in society. - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: At the March East Midlands Salon, Dennis Hayes will look at the therapeutic turn in society.About this EventThe NHS recently suggested that nine million people should seek therapy for anxiety, or other mental health conditions, so they can get back to work.Do such suggestions mean we are just more sensitive to psychological issues or is there something darker behind the therapeutic turn in society? A cynic might suggest that more useful, well-paid, and attractive jobs would encourage people to return to work.Over the last two decades there have been major concerns with self-esteem, resilience, emotional intelligence, emotional literacy, happiness, wellbeing, mental health, and compassion. Many of these focussed on children and young people. They spawned a therapeutic industrial complex made up of professional, and amateur, therapists who promote a myriad of inventions in education and the workplace.The effect of these interventions is that many people now feel they can’t cope and need therapeutic help, for example, between 2022 and 2025 over seven million people sought help from NHS talking therapies alone.Are we pathologising normal emotional responses to growing up and everyday life, or is it harder than ever for people to survive in the modern world?Dennis Hayes, co-author of the best-selling and controversial book , will discuss the origins of what is often called ‘therapy culture’ or ‘victimhood culture’ and its consequences for all of us. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/derby/feeling-down-an-exploration-of-the-therapeutic-turn-in-society/100001983893232062 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Ffeeling-down-an-exploration-of-the-therapeutic-turn-in-society-tickets-1983893232062 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 3.96, max: 3.96, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Derby - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Brunswick Inn - **lat**: 52.9182254 - **long**: -1.4641524999999547 - **full address**: The Brunswick Inn, 1 Railway Terrace, Derby, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: East Midlands Salon (https://allevents.in/org/east-midlands-salon/18919405) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/dfaf12f465542012add6ca4d7b6b27a25334013c6d45ebd3a5d43a5c14c63241-rimg-w333-h500-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1772005632 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Feeling+Down%3F+An+exploration+of+the+therapeutic+turn+in+society.&date=19+Mar ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** The Brunswick Inn, 1 Railway Terrace, Derby, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 3.96 up to 3.96 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** East Midlands Salon - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** health-wellness, Art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Feeling Down?

Typically they were created and organised by the aristocratic ladies, to hear the ideas of the great thinkers of the time, to debate their meaning, for entertainment, because they believed ideas were important and because they wanted to know where the world was going, and of course to flirt. The Salon was central to the intellectual ferment of the end of 18th Century. They hosted the great thinkers of the time; Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire. They were the scenes of excitement, outrage, and the shock of the new in a time when ‘the new’ still seemed possible. They signalled a time when the future was still an unwritten book.The East Midlands Salon is organised in homage to those days which only came to end with the eruption of the French Revolution and the arrival of a new constellation: the age of revolutions. Many historians think that Salons helped develop the ideas that ushered in that age. The East Midlands Salon, like those that currently exist in Birmingham Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, New York, Zurich and Lisbon, is inspired by the Institute of Ideas." } ] } ] ```
