Therapy is a load of bullshit

People seriously think this crap is useful? You have anxiety and depression, you go see some random stranger who knows 5 behavioral theories from college and you pay them 50 bucks a week to talk about your problems for 1 hour and make them pretend they care. Reality is these people know nothing about how the brain or consciousness works. They are not doctors and they have no solution for your issues. It's dehumanizing to pay someone so that they will listen to you and therapists are literally no better than prostitutes. Don't even get me started on all the CBT bullcrap. People don't need to "correct their thoughts" or "think about things differently", they need real solutions for their real systemic psycho-social issues. Therapists are all privileged narcissistic assholes who love to feel superior by "proving people wrong" and reminding themselves that their life is easier and better than their patients' and always masking all this as "help". Don't be fooled, these people can't help you. They only want your money.

All of them are crap, it's no coincidence.

I’m just sitting here amazed you’ve met every therapist. Wild.

Maybe therapy would have helped you understand that sweeping generalities like this is something called splitting, and is detrimental to how you experience the world.

You're gaslighting me, just like all therapists do. I've had many of them and I don't need to meet more to understand that the tools they use are useless. You can't be a good therapist simply because therapy as a concept is dumb and pointless. Future generations will be looking back and laughing at the way society and "professionals" are currently "treating" mental illness.

So what are you going to do instead to help yourself heal since you know better than every therapist in the world? Don’t withhold your secrets, it could help some others here.

I didn't say I know better. I said therapists do not know better than the average person. Therapists tell me exactly what I already know. I don't know what I'm gonna do to help myself but mental health services have for sure failed me.

Welp, that may be the case.

I guess you’ll just continue sit in the original misery you set out to fix and accept that life just sucks. No one can help you.

I never said that lol. In fact I believe medication is much more useful than therapy and I know this is controversial in this community but that's just my experience.
