Lots of shit therapists out there.
A friend of mine, his ex-wife's therapist encouraged her to have an affair. An old highschool fling reached out to her, and she was essentially perpetually stuck in highschool due to some intense trauma around that age. Therapist said to go for it.
Always look at a potential spouse's friends before getting married. Do they cheat, slack off, and just generally kind of suck? Your spouse-to-be will almost certainly follow their example. I say this because most people's "therapist" are their friends and if their friends are maladjusted assholes you can probably expect more of the same.
I had the exact same conversation with mine, when I was 20.
It's hard to believe that you'll have a better experience elsewhere, especially when you have already spent hundreds of € on that one.
Say no to therapists, say yes to callgirls. They charge less too.
She thinks you’re hot anon. Bang your therapist
No, that therapist is. There are shitty people in every profession.
When your therapist is trying to trick you into labelling yourself an incel.

Even knowing a shitty human therapist personally didn't shake me. It was dating apps. The amount of women I see that I'd run from at full speed, then notice they're therapists... Jfc (I 100% believe everyone should be in therapy. There are shitty physical health doctors too.)
Why should everybody be in therapy? That's like saying everybody should see a physiotherapist.
I mean, with how common back problems are in people of all ages, maybe we should all be seeing physiotherapists
I know I should be. I would genuinely benefit more from a good massage therapist than a psychotherapist at this point in life.
It's more like saying everyone should get a physical on a regular basis. We all need a check up now and then.

You're reminding me of a certain quote... "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." -J.Krishnamurti
As fucked up as this world is, if you're well adjusted to it, you're broken and probably should see someone, and if you're not, you need therapy to make it through the evolving dystopian hellscape. ...so yeah, I think that's what they're saying.
I mean.. yes? Some days I feel that way, and reading your words makes sense to me. In this case I simply meant we should care for our mental health like physical and normalize it. But seeing dude compare therapy to needing a specialist for an acute problem, then reading your response... Yeah, you're def right in this case. Broken is normative.
It's sad that it's true. Therapists are in high demand, and part of the reason we need more therapists is that about 1/5 of current therapists are basket cases in denial who use the idea of therapy to fulfill their own desires to control and manipulate others.
Well, yes, what did you expect?
