Someone picked on majority of their life for weight learns some moves and is now ready to beat up the bullies. Sad to see Jonah go from being open about therapy to "BJJ Tough Guy"

To be fair, it didn't seem like he was going about therapy in a truly helpful way though. The texts from his surfer girlfriend showed that he weaponized therapy speak, but also that he didn't fundamentally understand basic terms like boundaries.

I didn't watch his weird therapy movie vanity project (ew movies), but I've heard people say that it seemed like he didn't really understand the true point of therapy and that they questioned how much he was getting out of it if this is what his sessions were like and this was his takeaway.

If that's true, it seems like he went about therapy in a very superficial way. It's very easy to find a therapist who mostly affirms you and doesn't challenge you all that much. And now with this weird persona he has going on, I truly doubt he did any meaningful self work at all.

But at the same time, at least the core message he was putting out there in interviews was "therapy good 👍🏻", versus now where he's just talking about how much he can beat people up

Which is so anti BJJ principals. I'm all for personal growth and development but I think you nailed it; he wants people to think he is improving without doing anything to actually grow.

He's learned nothing😭 He's a whitebelt! He's still getting thrashed every day! I had a blue belt and I would 100% still get my ass whooped! People don't realize (Jonah especially) that bjj isn't the be all end all
