So long as they present a positively romanticized version of the journey, they can help themselvs.
I don’t see them talk all that much about the mental toll of the emotions that hit you out of thin air, that are not your own and don’t correspond to what you are experiencing in your physical reality.
I don’t see them mention much of anything about the difficulty in coping with the physical sensations you experience when your twin suffers physical pain.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against social media, its a wonderful creation that has the potential to bring people closer and create lasting connections.
What I am against, is the illusion and one-sided narrative it has the tendency to create.
Like you said @Ellasi, the journey is NOT a Hollywood fairy tale fantasy.
While there are moments where it feels that way, those that are on this journey also experience severe upheaval. Many twins under go loss of friends, loss of family members, loss of employment and livelyhood, even loss of their own children.
Marriages are broken down, and some even suffer through life-changing diseases/illnesses. In extreme cases, some twins even cross over to spirit before completing their healing journey.
I don’t mean to be a downer, but this is the reality that many face on their path towards union.
Let’s also acknowledge some of the negative aspects, and not focus soley on the positives.
There is just as much pain as there is pleasure on this journey.
