Therapy is based entirely on therapists, which are also human, and is just a job. And lots of people suck at their jobs.
The first therapist I saw told me "Some people just don't enjoy life, maybe you're one of those people" which was a strange thing to hear from a "mental health professional" and set off alarm bells.
You're probably just supposed to feel shitty all the time. That will be $500 please.
The ironic thing is a lot of the “everybody needs therapy” crowd have never been to therapy. One therapist told my friend his addiction to prescribed drugs was a moral failing on his part. This lead him to attempt suicide by cop. This would not have happened if he had not gone to a therapist.
Okay but those therapists aren't doing their job. They're not giving therapy. That doesn't mean not everyone can benefit from therapy.
Now you’re creating a logical fallacy. I’m not interested in engaging with that.
