I wouldn't recommend therapy unless you suffer from a debilitating mental disorder that is responsible for you not being able to participate in life in a meaningful way. Just my opinion.
I completely agree with you. I dunno who this alexnroberto guy is but based on a 2 second search, he comes off as one of those manosphere dudes so I guess we can assume that his comment isn't based on mutual support, but only the woman supporting the man. I disagree with that world view, but if the message stood alone, I don't see the issue in partners leaning on one another instead of going to therapy for every little thing that's wrong in their lives.
Be like going to the dentist to have him brush and floss your teeth for you.
There is also this one uncomfortable truth that the therapy crowd doesn't really want to acknowledge and that is that therapy is a luxury for the rich. Telling someone to go to therapy is actually pretty rude because not everyone can afford to throw thousands at therapy no matter how much or how little they need it.
I speak from experience. Therapy, if you are poor, can do more harm than good.
Not everyone lives in th USA. We have therapy covered by public health for free in my country.
So? Not everyone lives in your country either.
OP is right, many poor people don't have therapy covered and that's a calculus they have to deal with.
You rubbing in your free therapy doesn't help anyone in countries that aren't yours.
